Does anyone remember...

how much they were showing at around 17 weeks? I was just curious. I know it varies from person to person I just wanted to see! I'm just over 17 weeks and my lower belly is showing, and my uterus is already at my belly button. I didn't know if that was average or not. From what I remember, anyone I knew at their 20 week visit, they were showing A LOT!!! Thanks!

I was barely showing at all at 17 weeks. I was still wearing my 'regular' clothes, and no one could tell I was pregnant. I only popped about 2 weeks ago, at 24 weeks. Even now, depending on what I wear, a person *might* not know I was pregnant.

BUT, like you said, everyone is different.

I didn't have to wear maternity clothes until almost 7 months

At 17 weeks no one but me could tell I was pregnant. I was just starting to move into elastic waistbands. Maternity clothes were way too big for me.

I popped very early and have been showing for a long time. I am 25 weeks tomorrow and if you don't know I am pregnant then you are blind.

Not me, I wasn't showing hardly at all...I 'popped' out at 6 1/2 months and from then on I was HUGE!

I have the really fortunate situation of comparing to a really close girlfriend of mine who is due two weeks after me.

She doesn't look pregnant AT ALL. She is just carrying splendidly. She is widening a tiny bit across the belly but just has this tiny little mound - that looks like maybe she ate a heavy lunch. And that is IT. I on the other hand - people have told me I look 6 months for my size! Every girl is different. I started showing really early (like Michele) and have been out of my regular clothes for many weeks now. I started small - 5'2' at about 110 pounds - I have only gained 6 pounds so far (16 weeks) but I look completely different. It literally looks like I swallowed a small beach ball.

So I think it just depends. Everybody is so so different!
