1st Trimester

1st timers, who is showing? 2nd timers, when will we start to show?

I can't really say that I am showing yet (I'll be 13 weeks Wed) my abdomen seems to grow/expand as the day goes on but really, it's just the tiniest bit bigger than normal.

Anyone really showing at this point?

  • I voted no, I'm 13 wks. I'm in the same boat as you. By the end of the day, it just looks like pudge, definitely not even a "is she or isn't she" belly. When I wake up on my back, everything is completely flat.

  • I'm a little bloated, but that's it. I'm 13 weeks tomorrow.  This is my first.
  • I will be 15 weeks this week and I started showing around 11-12 weeks. 

    I'm also 5'11" and 120 lbs....so I figured I would show earlier. 

    I"ve gained about 10 lbs. already (it fluctuates daily)...UGH....

  • I voted "no" although people who know I'm pg say that they can see it (really, it just looks like fat as the day goes on!). I've officially gained a pound now, woohoo, haha.

  • This is my first, I've been getting a little bloated, but not too bad.  I'm 10 weeks tomorrow.

  • Sorry my poll isn't very good! :)
  • I am 12 weeks tomorrow and yes, I am showing a bit.  With Brady I didnt start showing until 19-20 weeks or so.
  • 9w2d...not showing yet, but I feel a bit "thicker".  I think I still have a few weeks in my regular pants, but I don't think I'll be making it to 20 weeks without showing like many of the other first timers have.

  • I didn't start showing until 13 weeks and even then I don't think I was big enough for strangers to notice. I thought I was so big at the time :) it's funny how you look back and laugh since I wasn't big at all.
  • I was probably about 16 weeks before I was "showing" to friends and family.  Strangers would not have noticed.   I wasn't into maternity pants until the end of second tri.  This time...it's a whole new ballgame!  I look like I did at 22 weeks or so and I'm only 11!
  • I think it's weird to "show" at 13 or less weeks.  Your ute is still behind the pubic bone at that point.  I showed around 25 weeks with my first, and hope to show late again this time- generally, the later you show the smaller you stay.
  • I'm barely 9 weeks and I feel like you can see it.. but I think it is mainly because I stopped doing any ab exercises once I got the BPF. Scary to see what my belly looks like with no exercise.
  • I'm 12wks today and am wearing my stretchiest regular jeans. I look a little full in the middle but you wouldn't necessarily thinks it's baby. But, when I wear my maternity jeans, it is pretty obviously a small baby bump because I don't have the waistband to help hold it in.
  • oh wow, thanks for the info!  I'm at 6 and keep looking for changes!  ha ha  guess I should relax a bit!  Sounds like I've got quite a ways to go before seeing anything other than bloat!
  • I was in mat pants by 15 weeks, but only really had a bump between 20-22 weeks.
