Hey everyone, when did you all start showing? I'm afraid I am starting to show but too early.

Ok well this is my first and my doctor said I  shouldn't show until later so it worried me. And it's just a little at the bottom. The top  starting to get hard and pop out a bit. I thought I was gaining fat but it's hard and I can't grab it.

No, it's not too early. There is no set time you 'have' to show, it's individual to YOU and your baby.

I didn't say that's when everyone shows, she asked when individual people show ;) And that's just when I happened to. Size can influence it, but you can be a stick and still take longer. Just depends on the female and that pregnancy. A larger baby or more fluid can cause a bigger belly than someone who has a smaller one. Too many factors that influence it.

I think u can show a lot earlier than 7 m. I am 11 w and im pretty tiny never before had children. My belly is alrdy pooching out. When u are smaller it shows earlier. My sis is a bit bigger and she was showing later around 5 or 6i mo.

Around 7 months or so. Usually anything before 12 weeks is bloating and retention, as baby is still very small and isn't large enough to cause an actual belly. If you've had multiple children you can show slightly sooner just because the muscles are not as tight and are more relaxed.
