When did you start showing?

MzAndro

Just curious when everyone started to show.  I know everyone shows at different times but just wondering.  I am 12 weeks and 2 days and have nothing yet.

There was a similar post on the 2nd trimester board. This was my reply:

Last pregnancy... 5 feet 2 inches, 118ish pounds beginning weight. Here is my last pregnancy... a picture that I submitted to The Shape of a Mother: https://theshapeofamother.com/blog/i-am-beautiful-anonymous/112508-anon2-1/

I didn't get a comment from a stranger until 22 weeks pregnant. I didn't wear maternity pants until 25ish weeks. 

This pregnancy: not showing yet.

ETA: starting weight is 119. I'm almost 5 years pp from last pregnancy.

Thanks for sharing the website...

With both boys, strangers started asking me when I was due at 14-15 weeks.  I'm short too, 5'2" (not quite!) so maybe that's why....

This is my first pregnancy. At 10 weeks pants started to get snug, at 12 weeks I bought Maternity Pants and around 14 weeks or so people started to notice but I didn't really pop until around the past week or so, so around 18/19 weeks. Before that a lot was bloat and water weight.

I think it really depends on your body type and whether this is your 1st, 2nd, ... pregnancy.  I didn't really show until 5-5 1/2 months the 1st time.  Now I have a pooch at 10 weeks but it just looks like I ate a large pizza and a 20-pc wing! LOL!

It just depends on your body structure! I am short 5'1 1'2 and I didn't show with my first until about 14 weeks or so. With my second it was wayyyy sooner around 8-10 weeks! With #3 well lets say I have a small pouch and showing alot sooner!!

I am 8 weeks 4 days today. At 7 weeks my jeans started feeling snug and by this week I can wear them unzipped with a bella band but after I eat they really hurt and dig into my skin so I've started wearing maternity pants!! They're just like yoga pants. I don't believe I'm "showing" but I am very short and I think it is all water weight/bloat maybe? I just think it's impossible to truly "show" this early on. I've actually lost a couple lbs from being so sick but it's so strange my tummy has poofed out all ready! This is my first. I only know one other girl at work who this happened to and she is pretty short also. My sister-in-law started wearing maternity pants at 10 weeks. And of course I have other friends who didn't start until 6 months. It really does just depend on your body. It's so interesting to hear about everyone else though.

With DD I was 5'4" 115lbs and didn't really show until 20-21 weeks. We went on a mini-vacation at 19 weeks and I don't look pregnant at all in the pictures. If I turned to the side and held my belly you could see it but it wasn't obvious otherwise.

This time - not so much!

I doubt many people here on 1st tri are already showing.  With my last pregnancy, I was about 110 lbs. going in (I'm 5'7") and wasn't noticeably pregnant until 19-20 weeks along.

With DD I started showing at 16-17 weeks.

With my 1st I was still wearing my reg. clothes at 19.5 weeks.  I finally got a "baby belly" (not bloat) around 21wks. I was 5'10 and 140lbs at 1st ob appt.

With my 2nd I was a little heavier to start (160)  and I got stranger comments around 17wks.

And we shall see with the 3rd:)  Im still in my regular clothes but it's still early.

First pregnancy, 5ft 2in, 125lbs. Started showing around 9wks.

This pregnancy 5ft 2in, 113lbs. Started showing around 6wks. Yes, it was just bloat and has since diminished...but because of my small size, people were starting to notice.

EDIT: That being said, I wore my regular jeans until 32ish weeks with first pregnancy and I'm still in regular jeans right now.

This is my 7th pregnancy (I have 3 boys, 3 mc), and I am almost 8 weeks. DH said this week I have a little belly, and my jeans are no where near buttoning anymore. I am keeping them on with a hair tie. I am pretty small, size 2. I mostly just feel like it is bloat, but I always show very fast. At 9 weeks with my last son, people were commenting on my little belly already, by 14 weeks I looked like I was about 24weeks but then it tapered off.
