How soon after you get pregnant do you start getting a belly?

Question

How soon?

Answer 1

Really depends on the person, individual body shape, number of previous pregnancies etc.  It also depends on the what you mean by 'getting a belly' - at about 12 weeks or so with your first child you might feel like you have got a belly compared to what you are used to your body looking like but it will be nothing anybody else will notice.  With me from about 16 weeks with both pregnancies I sort of 'popped out' and by 18 weeks I definatly looked pregnant and not just extremely bloated! LOL.  Although I used to work at a birth centre and I would see some people come in that I thought were maybe about 16 weeks when they were actually closer to term and others that looked like they were due to drop but were only about 25 weeks - so it really depends - it doesn't necessarily give that much of a clue to the size of your baby either as the girl that I though looked really tiny actually had a really good sized baby!

Answer 2

it depends on your body type and size. smaller ppl tend to show earlier such as three months. larger ppl may not start to show until 6 months

Answer 3

It is diffrent for everybody, just depends on what size you were before you got pregnant i guess & how fast your baby is growing, but for me & most of the other mothers i know, they started showing at about 5 months.

Answer 4

Well it differs from woman to woman and from pregnancy to pregnancy.

Also thinner women would obviously start showing earlier then heavier women.

Personally i was about 5months when i started showin, im 7 months now and my bump is still quite small, sometimes i actually look in the mirror and think "i dont even look pregnant" Lol!

Answer 5

Answer 6

its depends on ur body shape I'm a size 16 and didn't show with my first until about 6 7 months although with my second pregnancy i had a bump at four month but my friend who is a size ten had a bump at ten weeks!

Answer 7

It def. depends on your body type, some start getting a belly as soon as two months and others don't start to show as late as six months...it would all depend!

Answer 8

from 4 months i guess

Answer 9

4 months  

Answer 10

It varies for different women. It could be as soon as 8 weeks..but then for some it takes like 20 weeks. Its later if its ur first time. If this is your second/third pregnancy ur bulging belly is visible faster! :)
