When did you start showing?

Or needing to get new clothes!?

8 weeks. It was all bloat but enough to make me look and feel pregnant. I had to buy maternity pants just to be comfortable. Luckily, the pants have grown (gotta love stretchy full panels!) with me and they're still comfy with my massive bump now.

I am finally starting to show now. I can still fit in some regular pants but did buy a few maternity items. It seems like my belly has gotten quite a big bigger in the last week or so.

I needed a pair of maternity pants at 15wks.

I looked down a few days ago and realized my massive bump.

I had to buy maternity dress pants in week 8. Jeans around week 11. (Although only one pair fit). I needed shirts around 14w.

I started showing at about 14 weeks. I started wearing maternity pants somewhere around then (maybe a little before), and have just had to get some shirts the last couple weeks. Not maternity, just longer shirts.

12 weeks to people who knew me.

Started getting stranger comments around 17 weeks.

I'm 17 weeks right now, and just this week started to shop for a few maternity tops. A lot of my tops are kind of flowy styles anyway, so I've been able to pull it off. For some reason, I haven't had to buy maternity pants yet, but have been wearing more of my skirts and shorts that have elastic material.

Pants stopped fitting completely around 13/14 weeks. I mostly wear maternity shirts now, but can also still wear some long-style shirts from pre-preg.

I just switched to true maternity this week, BUT I caveat that by saying that I have been wearing looser clothes for a few weeks now, and I started wearing the Be Band about week 15, so that was cheating.

MrsAndie2006 · July 2009

By week 10, the bloat was so bad I couldn't button any of my pants anymore. I bought maternity jeans, capris, and shorts that week and am so glad I did. They're just so much more comfortable! Still no need for maternity shirts yet, but I'm guessing that will happen in the next few weeks...

I started needing different clothes at about 11 weeks. I did have a little extra pouch still from my previous children. But now at 14.5 weeks I am showing more.

TheNextD'Angelo · July 2009

I'm showing a little early. Started getting comments at 12-13wks. I'm down to my last pair of regular jeans that are starting to hurt doing the rubberband trick. I'm waiting for my online maternity clothes to come in b/c this isn't working anymore. I need some stretch.

ChrisnTris · July 2009

23 weeks, still wearing mostly pre preg clothes, other than pants

amoureux · July 2009

I'm still in my regular clothes. That being said, a few pants/capris don't fit anymore but I have enough that do fit. I also have some tops I am no longer wearing since I just look fat in them rather than pregnant... My flowier tops all fit well.

mchris9111 · July 2009

I really started showing around the 14th week. I have a couple of pants that still fix, but I have to undo the buttons after I eat. my belly comes out at the end of the day. Now at 16 weeks, you can tell.

csteck · July 2009

Husband and I have decided that the baby has a penthouse mansion to sprawl out in because I'm not showing one bit. Granted I'm no where near a size two and a little on the taller side. But at 19 weeks, I've really just gone up a pant size and gave in and bought some new pants around around 12 or 14 weeks.

Pennylane824 · July 2009

new pants - 11/12 weeks

showing- 19/20 weeks

Jocelyn0415 · July 2009

I'm still in my pre-pregnancy pants, but I'm starting to show a little. I want my bump so people won't just think I'm fat lol.
