The last time I was pregnant was 1998 and I was in my mid-20s. Now I'm in my later 30s and truthfully, I can't remember when I started showing last time. I know I haven't gained any weight but I feel "full" in my abdominal area. I believe I'm due in early June, so I'm only a few weeks along. When is it normal to start showing???

I am the same way annie!  I am only a few weeks along, due in early june and I feel full also.  This is my second pregnancy..last was in 2004.  I started showing about the 4th month..i'm a bigger girl..but the baby just seems to shape my belly lol so i didn't look fat! lol It was great..now that our stomach walls are stretched we may show a bit later, because the baby has a little more room to work with..but I understand where you are coming from!!

I'm beginning the 12th week of my 2nd pregnancy (my daughter is two) and experienced the same 'full' sensation beginning at around six week. I'm tall and thin and I began to notice my belly protruding a bit at around the same time. No one else would probably notice, unless they know me well. I think most women don't obviously 'show' until the fourth month, but that's not to say you won't look like you've got a lil' belly beforehand. :)) I know I do!

This is  my first pregnancy and I am a little overweight but I started noticing tight pants around 12 weeks and everyone else started noticing I was showing around 15 or 16 weeks. I have heard from many women that the more kids you have had the earlier you show but of course every woman and every pregnancy is different! :-)

Well I am around 5-6 weeks still really confused. Anyways...My pants that fit two weeks ago I can barely button either button and they have two buttons!! My belly is also harder on top and below around the belly button not so much. (I still have a little pooch from last one) This is my second, I have been reading online that you do start showing sooner the more pregnancies you have. Which does not make any sense to me?!
