A member asked:
Do overweight women begin to show their baby bump in pregnancy sooner?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Overweight or obese women do not need to gain as much weight during pregnancy as a woman of normal weight and therefore may not show ( baby bump) as soon.

No: In fact, because their bellies already stick out, often it takes a bigger baby bump or being further along in their pregnancy before they show.
