    Will I B Showing AT 16weeks and 3days?
    Im hoping the answer will be no as that is when I can finally tell my work that I'm pregnant. I don't have a skinny build I'm more on the plump side. Advice would be great. Thanks

    Every one's body is different. Sorry to bust your bubble but there is no right or wrong answer to this question. When I was pregnant with my daughter(my first) I didn't show till I was 6 months. I blew up like a balloon! LOL I woke up one morning and nothing fit. Then I got pregnant again and you could tell I was pregnant at 8 weeks.

    For some it may show just barely, and for some not at all. Every pregnancy is different. The crown-to-rump length of your baby at 16 weeks may be around 4 1/3 to 4 2/3 inches (10.8 to 11.6 cm). Weight is about 2 2/3 ounces (80g). By next week you may have some obvious swelling around your lower adomen. Just thought you'd like to know that. The baby at that time will probably about be the size of your hand palm spread out wide.

    As was mentioned before, everyone is different, but I would bet you could pull it off. Just be careful what you wear. Luckily that empire waist, maternity type look is very popular in clothes right now. So I bet if you are showing, no one would know the difference. I didn't start showing till I was 22 weeks... my sister is somewhat plumper, and you couldn't tell she was pregnant until she was 18 weeks... and it wasn't even very noticeable then... so.. like I said, plan out the wardrobe. Good luck! :)

    Are you showing to the point where people that don't know your pregnant notice?
