You're so pretty!!!</p> <p>@TurtleDoves: 22 weeks seems like the later end. I'm hoping to show earlier, fingers crossed :)</p> <p>@mrskc: You look so cute and that hotel is cool!!</p> <p>@MrsMccarthy: Yeah, my sisters friend has a very long torso and barely showed at all her whole pregnancy. While that sort of sounds awesome, I'd be bummed!</p> <p>@MamaCate: I guess that's a perk I hadn't thought of, more use out of my non maternity clothes!</p> <p>@howjoyful: I don't think you're huge at all, you look great!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-257699 Tue, 14 Aug 2012 05:04:51 +0000 howjoyful 257699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also 5'11" and I think I started to show around 17 weeks, even tho people could tell because of how sick I was more than how big =] now I'm 33 weeks and I think I'm super big (baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead) </p> <p>For some reason the add picture didn't work for me, but you can see my belly updates in the blog/diary I keep for my baby <a href="http://www.dearseed.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.dearseed.com</a> =] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-257671 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 23:05:57 +0000 MamaCate 257671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a long torso and long legs...and while I thought I looked pregnant early, most people said i didn't really look pregnant until the early 20s of weeks. I was able to wear my loosest pair of non-maternity jeans through about 18 weeks, and mixed maternity and non-maternity clothes throughout. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-257639 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 21:57:29 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 257639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: omgosh my love! You look so tiny here...I remember this when we all just got our positives:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-257271 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 15:29:28 +0000 MrsMccarthy 257271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>long torso tends to show much later and appear lower. I have a short torso and my bump showed super early. Here i am at 18 weeks. </p> [attach=1422/12/m8pnl4.448x600.18-weeks.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-257072 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:57:29 +0000 mrskc 257072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: haha I wish that was my house! No, it's at a hotel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256996 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:18:56 +0000 Mrsbells 256996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I am the exact same height as you and also have a long torso. I was well into my 2nd trimester before people noticed I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256995 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:18:35 +0000 LivsMama 256995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im 5'6" with a SUPER long torso (regular length pants as well). I didnt start showing until about 20 weeks like @hilsy85: -if I was wearing tight shirts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256993 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:16:42 +0000 MrsTiz 256993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: ...is it weird that I always thought you were the lady in your avatar picture with the cat? hahaha<br /> @mrskc: Umm is that your house?! LOVE that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256979 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 13:11:53 +0000 mrskc 256979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'9" and I would say I started showing at 20 weeks. Even though my bump looks small here, people could tell. Then every week it grew more and more! </p> [attach=684/12/m8ph7t.399x600.IMG_5482_thumb-4-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256853 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 12:09:55 +0000 eKappsPro 256853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like we're built the same, I'm 5'11", regular pants, tall shirts. I started to show around 18 weeks. I've had good luck with shirts from Gap and OldNavy. Motherhood Maternity is too short for me now that my belly is bigger (28 weeks). Not sure where you live, but H&amp;M Maternity had some great, basic, long shirts too.</p> <p>I'm not sure how to attach a picture, but if I figure it out, I'll send it your way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256849 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 12:04:39 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 256849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: I'm not tall AT ALL but I have a long torso. I'd say it was obvious for me at about 22w. People could kinda see I had a gut at 20-21 weeks but it wasn't until 22w that it was obvious.</p> <p>[attach=2389/12/m8pe3r.360x480.22w3d.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256618 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:36:53 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 256618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'4", but I have a long torso (and super short legs - ha). I started really showing around 21 weeks.</p> <p>(Sorry for the really fuzzy/bad picture) </p> [attach=1632/12/m8p7ta.400x600.IMAG0331.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256616 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:34:51 +0000 sslm 256616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: wow, you looked great at 22 weeks!!! Thanks for sharing!!</p> <p>@mrsjyw: What a small bump you had at 24, so cute :)</p> <p>@sorrycharlie: I do! What's your handle?</p> <p>@mrsmenow: Wow! Hardly showing at all at 20 weeks! You look great. I always have a huge issue buying shirts, kinda worried even mat tops won't be long enough. </p> <p>I'm just really hoping to be showing pretty good by Christmas. I'll be 25 weeks then and making the 14 hour car trip home. Want my family to see my bump :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256596 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:18:27 +0000 mrsmenow 256596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a long torso, I always have to look for long and lean syle shirts or they never hit in the right spots. And this is me at 20 weeks with baby #3! </p> [attach=1499/12/m8p6er.450x600.baby2.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256595 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:18:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 256595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a very long torso. Do you instagram? All my bump pics are on there if youre curious! otherwise I can post pics when I get home. I didn't show until in the 20s! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256587 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:15:20 +0000 mrsjyw 256587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'7-5'8ish... probably started obviously showing around week 24? </p> [attach=888/12/m8p69l.558x600.24wks.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256581 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:12:31 +0000 blackbird 256581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't help you yet, as I'm the same height, but extra long in the legs! I have some friends with long torsos, though, and they didn't show for awhile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256579 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:11:22 +0000 hilsy85 256579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure I have a long torso...I'm 5'7" and I would say I started showing around 22 weeks IF I was wearing tight clothes (that's when I got my first stranger comment about when I was due). I could have easily worm flowy tops to look not pregnant. I think it also depends on where you gain the weight and how the baby is situated. This is me at 22 weeks. Ha ETA that now looking at that photo, I don't think I look that pregnant at ALL in it! Maybe it's because I feel so much larger now at 30 weeks :) </p> <p>[attach=1319/12/m8p630.600x400.21wks.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-with-a-long-torso#post-256572 Mon, 13 Aug 2012 09:07:22 +0000 sslm 256572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just trying to figure out when I might start showing. I'm 5'11" and carry most of my height in my torso (can wear regular length pants!). </p> <p>If you have a long body, when did you show? Pictures always appreciated :) </p>
