When do plus size pregnant women start to show?

Question

I am 20 weeks and started at a size 22, my pants are starting to feel snug, but no baby belly yet, I just look like I have gained a few pounds.

Answer 1

I didn't start to show until 4.5 - 5 months.  I tried to keep it a secret from my in-laws.  They had their suspicions around 5 months but I didn't tell them until I was 6.  I also depends on if your having a boy or girl.  You might look less pregnant with a girl because they tend to spread around the body, boys pop right put.  

Answer 2

you may start to show really soon. with my son, i was about size 16/18 when i conceived and started showing around 5 months...where you are now. i'm also wondering the same thing as you because i'm 12 weeks preg. with my 2nd and size 22 now. i hope i show before the very end! congratulations!

Answer 3

i am 27 weeks right now and am as big as a house i started out a size 22 and tried on some shorts size 26 had hardly any room. i am alot bigger sonner with this baby then with my last. with my daughter i was this big the day i had her and now this one is a boy. but also around 22 weeks maybe a little sooner i noticed things fitting tighter. as they say each pregnancy and each person is different.  as far as weight gain i have lost 2 lbs this pregnancy and a few more when i was with my daughter. hope this might give you some insight. and congrats. oh btw depending on where the baby haangs out will also affect how clothing fits and looks on you

Answer 4

some women might not be able to show at all. my friend was your size and you couldn't really tell she was pregnant up until she had the baby. but everybody is different! good luck!  

Answer 5

Im a size 20 pre-preg. I started wearing maternity pants at 12 weeks but I started getting a small belly at 5 months. It was noticeable to other people from 6 months. Im 34 weeks now and I have a big round basketball belly!

Answer 6

it really depends on the woman, you could start showing towards the end of this trimester or later on. even smaller women don't always show right away, it takes time. and it also has NOTHING at all to with weather it is a boy or girl, i had a girl and was huge compared to my friend who had a boy (i was bigger then both her pregnancies and she had 2 boys).
