When did you begin to show?

Hey mamas with previous pregnancies. How soon did you begin to show with your second? Just looking for a general concensus.

I am very early, but caught a glimpse of myself today and had to do a double take. I am a little fluffy, but did not look like this last week.

    I think that height and weight has something to do with this, though definitely not everything!

    I'm 5'8" and and was about 155 lbs when I got pregnant with number 2.  

    I looked kind of plump from about week 10-14 and I think in week 15 I have a noticeable "bump" that says "baby" not "bulk." 

    I was uncomfy pretty early though, and had to ditch the regular dress pants in favor of rubber-band top or dresses, even when there wasn't a real bump.  I hate the bindy feeling. : ) 

    Congrats!

    "Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing

    For me, the first one seemed to take forever for me to look pregnant. This time, it was around 17-18 weeks that I really started to look pregnant. but before then from about 6 weeks on, I just looked and felt like I was eating way too much junk food. Smile

    I was around 20 weeks with DD when I REALLY started to show. I'm pretty fluffy to begin with and carry most of my weight in the middle (apple shaped) anyway. Things were definately moving around and I did have a little bump probably around 17-18 weeks with DD. With this one, I'm pretty confident that I've popped. The past week or so it's been looking "normal" first thing in the morning, but as the day progresses, looking more PG. Today was the first morning I woke up and looked int he mirrow and was, all "hmmm, I think that might be a legit bump." Now I can't wait for some serious movement! I've been in maternity pants for about 2 weeks now. Still rocking the regular shirts.
