when did you start showing?

&& · March 2009

I know I am in the very early stages of this whole experience, but was wondering when you started to show??

robynlesley · March 2009

While I made the switch to maternity clothes around 13 weeks, I didn't begin showing until the last week or so (16/17 weeks). Now *I* could tell that the belly bulge was baby, but I really don't think others could unless I wore a tight shirt.

I'm going to take a belly photo tomorrow (18 weeks) but to be honest I can still easily camoflauge it with a big sweater. I've heard that with first pregnancies you show later (for most) and my best friend didn't show until around 22 weeks or so.

I still don't think I am showing much at all at almost 23 weeks. I am 5'10" and a size 16/18 before pg, so I just feel like my belly fat sticks out further now, although it has been taking on a more baby-belly shape in the last couple of weeks.

I just started showing last week, at 18 weeks. I've never had a really flat belly anyway, so I may have started showing earlier.

This is my 3rd child and I just popped last week at 13 weeks.

I think I am just starting to show--I mean, like literally a couple of days ago I went from a bit pudgy around the middle to smallish bump. I have made the switch to the mat clothes this week, though a couple of my pants still fit when partially unzipped and extended with a hair tie.

I think I can still hide it with a big sweater, but I think it is starting to look more like a pg belly and not just like I ate too much for lunch!

I had to switch to maternity pants early both times -- 6-7wks. I just pop a bit early. But real showing as in decidely pg versus maybe she's just fat? Probably about 18-20wks.

I just have a small bump that to others still looks like I ate too much (pic in siggy). But it wasn't like that before the baby so I know it's the uterus pushing out my tummy. I can't button or zip up any of my pants so I have to either wear maternity pants or use the Bella Band. I'm in sweatpants most of the time, they're the most comfortable.

I was feeling tubby from probably around 12 weeks, but didn't start looking pregnant until a few weeks ago - probably 18 weeks.

sistrkate · March 2009

When I was pregnant the first time, it was an obvious baby belly at about 18-19 weeks. I could tell sooner but I don't think others could.

This time around it's much quicker. I weigh less than I did when I was pregnant the first time, so my pants still fit, but I will be very obviously showing in the next few weeks. I can already tell now myself but probably just look pudgy to others.

Probably around 14 weeks, I really show now, it's totally obvious that I am pregnant.

about 17-18 weeks. now i am really starting to show at 22 weeks. switch to maternity clothes around 18 weeks.

SFAug07 · March 2009

Still not showing and I am still in all my regular clothes, button and zipped up.

iluvtom · March 2009

I started to squeeze out of my clothes at 14/15 weeks and I think people are still not sure if I am pregnant or just gained weight at 16 weeks. I am sure I have a big fat bump but others say no.

Yesterday I wore a sweater that was getting a little snug and two people commented that I was starting to show, it has more shape now than just looking like I have been pigging out lately. I am still in my old pants because they were getting really big on me before the pregnancy but it won' last much longer and tops will be a problem as soon as I can't wear big bulky sweaters.

janice74 · March 2009

I just feel like I am getting wider *sigh*. ?I started wearing maternity pants pretty early, because I wanted to be comfortable and I have been bloated. ?There hasn't been much change yet ,since the original bloat, so I am just waiting to pop. ?I am a little tired of just looking fluffy.

Noiyah · March 2009

With my first pregnancy, I didn't start to show until my 5th or 6th month....now with this second one, i can barely zip my pants and I am only 5 weeks!! what the heck! but i did read that with the second pregnancy your uterus isn't as "tight" as it used to be and just knows what to do...i also weigh 14lbs less than my first pregnancy. so i just look like i ate too much right now lol

I am only 4 weeks but I SWEAR, I am showing already. Is that even possible?

Holy cow, at this rate, I might be enormous. I am 5'4 and weigh 115 pounds...
