What week of pregnancy do u start showing?
I'm in my first pregnancy and haven't really started 'showing' yet. Around what week of pregnancy do most women typically start to show? I'm curious when I'll need to buy maternity clothes!

Hi! It really differs from person to person. For first-time moms, it's often around 16-20 weeks, sometimes even a bit later. If it's your second or third pregnancy, you might show earlier. Don't worry, everyone's body is different!
You usually start to show a noticeable bump somewhere between 16 to 20 weeks. Factors like your body frame, muscle tone, and whether it's your first pregnancy can influence it. Just focus on a healthy diet and staying active.
I remember my wife was so worried she wasn't showing much by 16 weeks, but then suddenly at 20-22 weeks, boom! It popped. So don't panic if it's not visible right away, it will happen!
My cousin started showing properly around week 20-22 with her first. Before that, it just looked like she ate too much lunch, haha! So it's not super early for most people, I guess.
For most, it's visibly around 4-5 months (16-20 weeks). If you're working, you might consider getting some comfortable maternity wear around then. No need to rush though, everyone's timeline is unique.

I used to overthink this so much! But really, it can be anywhere from 16 weeks to even 24 weeks for some. Everyone's body is different, so try not to compare. As long as the doctor says everything is fine, you're good.
