What week did you start showing?

MrsBeckO · March 2009

I'm at 15w now, and I think?I'm showing at this point. The last few weeks I only seemed to show depending on what top I was wearing, but I don't think there's any mistaking it now.

chrissyellen · March 2009

I am at 16 and a stanger wouldnt notice but DH says around... 14 you could start to "tell" - right below my bust line has "grown" I have always had a very flat (upper) stomach Stick out tongue

AutumnBride929 · March 2009

I think I just started showing this week (16 weeks). I can really tell when I look in the mirror now, lol. I'm going to do a belly pic next week after my big u/s!

DSteed-to-be · March 2009

I got a belly around 15w, started "showing" around 19w, and got my first "oh, you're pregnant, not just fat!" stares just within the past week or so at 23-24w.

MidwestTexan · March 2009

20 weeks...see my bio (click on pic above user name) to see my belly shots starting at 16 weeks until now.

heidismith · March 2009

I kinda just looked chubby until about 17 weeks, but even now I still dont look very pregnant!

bellaciao · March 2009

Around 18 weeks. I started using a Bella Band with my regular pants at 16 weeks, but I don't think I was really showing until about 18 weeks. You can check out my belly pictures in my blog link.

mfransdell · March 2009

I was super bloated starting around week 6, then my bloat started to get wider around week 14. Now its finally popping out into a noticable bump. Im also very short waisted, everyone is different

Vixey529 · March 2009

Right around 16 weeks I needed to switch to maternity clothes. I was very slim to begin with, so it did appear to be a small "bump". It's still quite small now, but it is shaped like a baby bump. Maternity clothes are very flattering at this stage! They make it look like what it is, instead of just some extra poundage!

ntnylizard · March 2009

Oh, I dunno. I could tell the belly swell for the past couple of weeks, but people at work are still shocked to hear my news. So while I can tell I'm definitely changing shape, I don't know that I'm outwardly "showing" yet.

txbabs111 · March 2009

22 weeks

Mrs_mam · March 2009

16 was when I really started to notice. Now it's unavoidable.

emaria · March 2009

19 wks.

jk09uhed89 · March 2009

i think around week 11 which seems to be really early compared to what i have been reading around here. but i dont know if i count because i was pg before this and miscarried and i know if you were pg before they say that you show early. but since i didnt go full term i dont know if that even makes a difference...

rockylover · March 2009

I started to notice a little bump around 15-16 weeks, but at week 18 is when it really popped out and was becoming obvious to co-workers and friends.

water-fairy · March 2009

To myself... since day 1 I found out :P (just kidding of course). Now, seriously, to my self just in last couple of weeks... to others not yet. See siggy pic. Not even people at the gym can tell, and I don't wear baggy clothes, on the contrary, everything I put on is tight on my body.

allowry · March 2009

I was about 16 weeks before I could tell and 18-19 weeks before other people started noticing. People who don't know me still have no idea.

heathb21 · March 2009

15 weeks, but that's with twins.

Jessica Westbrook · March 2009

around 16/17 weeks

heatherlane · March 2009

Just barely, and only to DH who sees me naked every day.

Mr. & Mrs. G · March 2009

I started to pop around week 12 and then week 15 was when a stranger noticed and commented on my baby bump!

Smile

katrina Baker · March 2009

I started showing at about 9 or 10 weeks... i couldnt believe it.

SafetyWife07 · March 2009

Still waiting to start showing! My mom said she was 6 months before she ever showed, so I may have a while to go if I am similar to her!

Natalie27 · March 2009

at 20 weeks and some things that I still wear, it just looks like I've gained a good amount of weight.

liongish119 · March 2009

Actually showing and not bloat was about 12 weeks (I could see it but it probably looked like I had eaten a big dinner to others. I really "popped" at around 19 weeks- when I could no longer think about hiding it.

rrodgers803 · March 2009

Around 18 wks is when everyone at work and friends said they could actually tell I'm pregnant. I thought I was showing around 16 wks though

Mrs.DeliaMarieP · March 2009

I think I'm showing this week. It's hard to tell because I've been bloated all along. I definitely "look" pregnant in normal clothes, but I know that my uterus is still lying low. I think it is causing my abdominal muscles to move out a little at this point, though. When I lean against the counter, to cook or whatever, it feels different than it did last week, kind-of harder yet not.

I definitely haven't "popped" yet, that's for sure.

Nov_2006 · March 2009

15 or 16...but I really could only tell.

19 wks I got my first stranger comment.

bensuswed · March 2009

I could tell at about 15 weeks, but starting to show a bit more now - I just took the pic in my signature at 17 weeks...people that already know I'm pregnant have commented that I'm starting to show, but strangers, coworkers I haven't told, etc haven't noticed yet, but I've been trying not to wear anything too form fitting these days until it looks more like baby and less like fat! :-)

Ricca'sBaby · March 2009

I could tell pretty early on; DH started noticing around18 weeks; other people just started noticing around 21-22 weeks. I've really "popped" in the last few weeks!

MrsPharmGirl · March 2009

I'm almost 18 weeks, and I feel like I'm barely showing. People that know me can tell I have a little belly, but other than that, that's it. I'm thinking I should "pop" any day now!!!

MrGandMe · March 2009

Around week 13-14 I started noticing my stomach rounding out. Just this week though (yesterday) my friend and sister within the first 2 seconds of seeing me said "holy crap you look pregnant all of a sudden". So I guess 16 weeks for me.

jeffrae · March 2009

To me -- I am showing. To the rest of the world -- I have a beer gut. I NEVER EVER EVER EVER have or have had a beer gut before! I can't wait for it -- I am having RPL quite often though -- so I am hoping anyday this beer gut will turn into a real baby gut!
