    some factors of when you start showing are

    -height/build

    typically a thinner build starts showing first

    -number of pregnancies

    the second pregnancy will usally show sooner then your first

    -physical fitness

    you never hear about this but the stronger your abdominal muscles the longer it will take for you to show.

    theres alot of factors that will play into when or if you show,your body size,how much you eat or the weight you and the baby gain together will have alot to do with when or if you show,my wife started showing with all 3 of ours about 4 months along, but i had a friend that looked like she had only gained a few pounds and didnt realy show at all, so when you start is realy a nature call and just love the baby no matter if you shoe or not is the important thing

    I only started showing slightly at 6 months and people only started noticing WELL into my 7th month. In fact, Im 31 weeks and if I wear certain shirts, I could disguise the pregnancy. Its bizarre.

    It depends on the pregnancy and it's different for everyone. My waist changed and thickened and I couldnt wear my pants anymore but I didnt get a bump until late.

    It depends on ur body i started showing wen i was only 14 weeks it took my friend 7 months to show. Of course ur natural weight , how soon and how much u pig out is also a factor!!

    It took a couple of months for me to notice a significant difference. It was great when it got past that 'how many pies has she had?' stage and into the real 'preggy look'. Then I just got larger and larger, very quickly! :) In terms of factors...it would depend on the mother's build, genetics, fluid volumes and retention, I expect. I carried a large baby and showed after about 2 months.

    Its nothing to do with the build.

    I WAS a size 6-8 UK size and 5"2 and 7.5 stone and i didnt show until about 30 weeks!

    After having baby i am now a size 10-12 and 8.10 stone!

    With my two daughter, I didn't show until late in the pregnancy (around 5 months). With my two sons I started showing almost immediately. It really depends on the person, and of course there body before pregnacy.

    Hard to get maybe. I say show some interest but then back off. Don't act to quick to answer a text for like an hour or two. Don't always be there when she calls. Play hard to get! It's fun and it also get girls to like you more.. depending on the though. She seems the type but what do I know :p. Try that.

    At about 16-20 weeks your uterus is too big to fit inside your pelvic bones and starts to grow up into the abdomen. Height, Weight, genetics and number of pregnancies all play a role in when you start to show. Congrats
