    I am 5'7 and I started getting a little bumb around 4 months. Around 5 months you could tell I was pregnant. Good luck with your pregnancy.

    I didn't have an actual bump until I was about 5 months... until then it was pretty much just bloating. I'm 5ft7 and I have a medium to long torso.

    It's not necessarily your height that makes the biggest difference. The big difference is your torso length. If you have a short torso and narrow pelvis, there's nowhere to go but out so you might pop earlier than someone with a wider set pelvis and longer torso.

    LOL I hope I can keep my second pregnancy on the DL for at least another 2-3 months. I'm about 9 weeks.

    You know the rubber band trick with the jeans right? (Using a rubber band to bridge the gap at the button... it's comfier if you use a hair band instead of a rubber band though.)

    I started to look like I had gained weight from 10 weeks. By 12 I had to tell people because otherwise they would have been hiding the biscuits from me!

    With my first I started showing at 6 months. I am now pregnant with my second, I am 16 weeks and already in maternity clothes. As for making you pre-pregnancy jeans fit better, try a Bella-Band, it is wonderful, you can wear all of your jeans unbuttoned and unzipped if you have to, they are fairly cheap too.
