Showing

I'm almost 17 weeks and I don't feel like I am showing as much as I think I should. This is my first pregnancy.  I know everyone one and every pregnancy is different but what is the average.

My first pregnancy you could definetly tell I was pregnant by 16 weeks. I was only a small girl to begin with, 46kgs.
This is my second pregnancy, Im now 18 weeks and have been showing since 10 weeks. I was 47kgs before pregnancy this time.

Everyone is different tho. It all depends if we have body fat to begin with, some bloat more then others, different stomach muscles ect. Dont be concerned though, You will definetly be showing in a few more weeks.

I am 17 weeks pregnant with twins and I am not showing that much. Everyone at works keeps asking me "are you really having twins?" I just look at them and smile. As long as my babies are doing fine, I choose not to worry about it :)

there are so many factors that can lead to showing and when ect.  if you are a super fit gal with tight abs, it might take longer.  a friend of mine that has those abs you would kill for, didnt show till she was 7months!

if you have some extra padding it could take longer to show as well.  with my first i showed at around 4months ,with #2 it was about 3 and this one as soon as my test read positive haha.  it will just pop out one day soon and you will be so surprised!
