2nd Trimester

When did you start showing?

I'm pretty new to this board and I'm 14 weeks 2 days along.  So far, I don't feel like I'm showing at all!  If I really look, it seems like perhaps I'm bloated and/or full -- and it's not noticeable at all in clothes.  Most of my friends started showing much sooner.  I guess I should enjoy NOT being big while it lasts, but I'm curious...when did you start to show?  Was it gradual or did you just wake up much bigger one day??  Haha, I feel silly even asking, but TIA :)

  • 23 weeks both times. And it seemed to happen almost overnight.

  • I started to show around 19-20 weeks and even now people still think I am not preggers!! I am still in my old jeans and cloths...it'll come, I promise!!

  • I think I just started showing the last couple of weeks.  Mine's been pretty gradual.  I have a tummy line up in my bio if you want to take a look!

  • I feel like I really started showing this week (got my first stranger comment on Wednesday at 18w4d).  FWIW, I am a petite person (to the extent that makes a difference).

  • At first I was showing very little around 13 or 14 weeks.  It was only noticible to DH and I when I was naked.

    I think I kinda popped around 16 weeks.  That is when all of a sudden it does not matter what I wear - the bump is very visible to everyone.  That is when I started getting comments and stares from people at work.  I just woke up one day and there was my bump.

  • Depends on what I am wearing if I am "showing" I could certainly tell at about 18 weeks. Some people are noticing a little now at 20 weeks.

  • Clearly I am not showing yet. See my post below "16 week bloat/bump PIP" - you can see in that picture just how much I am NOT showing.

     I am truly dismayed that I am not yet showing at 4 months pg but lots of ladies on here say it's 100% normal!

  • Mine has been gradual. I am 20 weeks today and I feel like I am just showing. Some days I look bigger then others and in the morning I barely look pregnant at all.

  • I started to get comments at 15 weeks, but it still kind of depended on what I was wearing.  By 16 there was no hiding it (not that I tried).
  • 16wks, happened overnight.
  • 17-18 weeks is when other people started noticing. 
  • I'm showing starting to show now at 13 weeks and it's my first

     

  • I started to show at 13 weeks (baby #1 here)-that's when I got my first stranger comment about being pregnant.

  • Right around 15 weeks. Other people started to notice around that time. It really did seem to happen overnight!

  • around 18-19 weeks with #1, around 12-13 weeks this time.
  • I am now 13 weeks and I feel like I definitely am bigger but as far as a true bump, it's not quite there yet.  I just look fat.  I haven't gained any weight yet though so I imagine things are just shifting.  But I also feel like I "show" more at night than in the morning.  When I wake up, I look pretty normal.  By the time I got to bed, my tummy is noticeably larger.
  • I am 20 weeks and still not showing. Just look reeeeally chunky.
  • Around 19-20 weeks.  People still say they don't realize I am pregnant until I tell them... or until I stand up!  Lol.

  • I had a bit of a bump starting around 16 weeks, but as soon as I hit 21 weeks everyone has been able to clearly tell I'm pregnant.
