Kind of scary. I'm 11 weeks and I also think I just look like I had too many donuts :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing/page/2#post-292498 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 17:42:55 +0000 aprk 292498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>(follow up)</p> <p>I just put on lower cut jeans (the same ones in my profile picture, actually) and they button up just fine! No other pairs of pants fit me anymore. So maybe I am wearing clothes to try and make my bloat bump look like a baby bump. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292454 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:46:18 +0000 Arden 292454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'4", 13 weeks, still just look fat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292441 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:35:07 +0000 Minnie_Girl 292441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5'5". Started showing my donuts in the early 20s and popped out over the following weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292421 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:20:59 +0000 lolabee 292421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'6", 17 weeks 3 days and have yet to have any bump...waiting patiently for it to make its appearance! I'm thinking after reading the above posts that I'll be waiting awhile longer ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292404 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:11:51 +0000 pastemoo 292404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5'0.. and depending on the angle... 27 to 33 weeks. Ugh. And then suddenly it became like a big old balloon!<br /> I started wearing maternity pants at 9 weeks, but I tend to wear clothes that minimize the girls and then tended to minimize the belly, too. Oops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292401 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:10:49 +0000 hilsy85 292401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'7" and started showing at like 20 weeks...my bump was very vertical though, rather than sticking straight out. Looking back, I don't think I look very big at that point, but there was a definite curve to my stomach. ETA that I "popped" at like 25/25 weeks and the bump became much more noticeable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292400 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:09:37 +0000 matador84 292400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsgreengrass I teach middle school, they are so funny! It was hard when I told them I WAS after swearing to them I wasn't--they thought they got played! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292397 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:08:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 292397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'-7" with a VERY short torso and I was getting comments from strangers at 14-15 weeks. Now at 24 weeks (almost) I've only gained a pound but am obviously pregnant to everyone and am fending off belly rubbers everyday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292395 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 16:07:05 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 292395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lydg: My students told me this year that they all thought I was pregnant last year! I was 9 weeks on the last day of school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292378 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:57:01 +0000 birdofafeather 292378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5'4" and i starting really showing around 17/18 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292324 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:27:22 +0000 matador84 292324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5'4...well I didn't know I was pg until I was 10 weeks &amp; couldnt figure out why I was getting fat! My students had been asking me if I was pregnant for like 2 weeks before though! I was def showing by week 12. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292320 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:23:12 +0000 edelweiss 292320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm 5' 2", and started getting a round belly around 21 weeks. wearing maternity clothes also helped the bump look like a pregnant bump as opposed to a donut bump (or as i called it, a beer gut). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292311 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 15:19:01 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 292311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5'4 - 13-14 weeks. I feel huge now at 22! I was slender with a pretty average torso (for my height).</p> <p>I can't even comprehend those who don't show until the 20s! I haven't done any weird eating and my belly is completely obvious to total strangers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292264 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:51:03 +0000 littlebug 292264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'3". I popped at 14 weeks, but had a real, round, obviously-pregnant belly at around 17 weeks. I have a really short torso, so there is nowhere for Baby to go but out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292256 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:47:36 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 292256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'3", first time around closer to 20 weeks, second time around at 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292245 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:42:58 +0000 JessiBee 292245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'4", and at 17 weeks, people who hadn't seen me recently (although not strangers) were looking, but too polite to ask, but relieved when I told them. In form fitting or maternity clothing, I'm definitely showing, and I have been since probably 15 weeks-ish, depending on wardrobe. I'm also pretty little, so I don't know if that contributes to showing early, too. It's my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-292204 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:23:06 +0000 LemonLong 292204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5'4" and the first time a stranger recognized I was pregnant was around 26 weeks.

I'm almost 18 weeks now and definitely showing to the point where strangers notice. I'm also short torsoed so I'm thinking that has something to do with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-tall-are-you-and-when-did-you-start-showing#post-291890 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 11:20:12 +0000 Rescuemom10 291890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im 5'3" and im about 20 weeks now and finally looking pregnant to strangers....I hope.
