After how many days pregnancy symptoms start to show

If it's your first pregnancy, or even if it isn't, you may be wondering when your bloated belly will turn into a baby bump, and your pregnancy will start to show.

The short answer: It can be different for everyone, for a number of reasons.

When do you start showing in pregnancy?

First-time moms usually start showing sometime between 12 and 18 weeks. In a BabyCenter poll, most women expecting their first child said they started to show between 12 and 18 weeks, very closely followed by those who said that their bump emerged between 18 and 24 weeks.

Every woman and every baby bump is different, and there isn't an exact time when you'll start "showing," which is what happens when your growing uterus begins to expand above the pubic bone.

This usually starts when you're around 12 weeks pregnant; before then, the uterus remains within the pelvis and isn't usually visible.

Even at 12 weeks of pregnancy, any “bump” you start to see in your abdomen is really just you
