Ok, so I am in my 12th week now and have heard some people say you can start to feel your uterus pop out above your pubic bone. I don't feel a think, when did everyone start to notice yourself that you are pregnant?

When I first started to notice I was 16 weeks. When other people started noticing was closer to 20. It is different for everyone though so don't get discouraged! I am petite so it was evident by 5 months that my stomach was pooching out.

you will usually after the 16th week the baby like Doubles is size, and you will Definately be showing then, I'm just at 15 wks, and just starting to a little bit, no huge pouch, it's just pushing everything out, and is still soft, but it will fill itself out soon.

I am 18.5 weeks and not showing yet. It really depends on your body. I am really petite also so it's not evident I am pregnant at all.

I'm 14 weeks and have already pop out, since week 12. I went to my first prenatal class and the girl next to me was 18 weeks and wearing regular t-shirt and jeans!!!, she looked skinny and no belly at all. I don't now why is different for everybody. I don't know if it might be that I'm bloated since I normally get very bloated with the AF hormonal changes.

Hey JK I posted a similar question on the first trimester board a while ago. I was concerned because I couldn't feel my uterus yet and everything I read says you could feel it above your pubic bone at around 12 weeks. Well I had my dr appointment this past Friday and my dr said that at this point it's still so far down that you can't feel anything yet. I was 13 weeks at that time. She said by 16 or 17 weeks your uterus should be about halfway to your belly button, and by 20 weeks the top of your uterus will be at your belly button. I am not showing from my uterus yet, the only showing I am doing is from other things being pushed up and out, and bloating.

Hey! I will be 17 weeks tomorrow and I have really popped out over the past 3 weeks or so! I went from wearing my regular jeans to wearing maternity XS in 3 weeks! Lol. Its cute though, becuase I am real small too.

I am 16 weeks and really showing. It's all in the belly but not really firm yet. Allie, you have already started taking prenatal classes? My doctor hasn't said a word about them yet. What kind of classes?

Allie - I was exactly like you, I had to wear maternity clothes at 12 weeks and now at 14 weeks even strangers ask me when the baby is due, the doctor says its because I have a large uterus. Everyone is different, as long as your doing ok noone shoul dbe worried about showing, the baby will show when its ready!
