How far along where you when you started to show? I have a 4 year old...and I'm 7 weeks and already have to wear maternity pants. But...I just think I look fat...other people say I'm showing. When did you?

I can still wear my regular jeans, but I lost about 20-25 lbs before I got pregnant so my pants were getting big anyways...I wore reg pants to a baby shower yesterday but by the end of the day I wanted them off. I wore maternity jeans today.

I wear scrubs for work so those I am still fitting it, but I am thinking within the next week or so I will be completely into maternity clothes.

I was in maternity by 12 weeks

I'm not showing yet. ?Still in my normal clothes. ?

The bloat was KILLER for me this time around. I was bigger at 7 weeks than I was at 14 weeks. No joke.

I'm now almost 18 weeks and just now getting into maternity clothes full-time. But actually, non-maternity pants with a Bella Band fit better right now than most of my maternity stuff... maternity stuff is too big.

I was in maternity pants full time by 12 weeks. It was just more comfortable. I probably was showing around that same time, depending on whom you asked. But I'm super petite.

Around 10 weeks.

Mrs.tlcS · August 2009

I started wearing maternity pants around 8 weeks. I just found them more comfortable. I didn't need to start wearing them till probably around 11 weeks or so.

I have a 4 year old also. I am wearing maternity clothes, but I told a lady at church tonight that I am pg and she was shocked! I don't really look pg yet. Tongue Tied

With DD#1 I didn't wear maternity pants until 18-19 weeks and had no bloat (oh the joys of the pre preg body) and didn't show to others until 20+ weeks. With DD#2, I had mild bloat started needing maternity pants by 12 weeks and showed to others around 14-15 weeks. With this 3rd pregnancy, I am having horrible bloat and a small hard baby bump (above pelvis below bloat only noticeable to me) at 9 weeks. I just started wearing some of my old mat pants last week or used the rubber band trick.

I'm on the small side, and I was wearing some maternity clothes at 7-8 wks, mainly b/c I had bad m/s and couldn't stand any pressure on my stomach. But soon after that I was fully in maternity clothes (10-11 wks). My friends say that I'm not huge, since I'm a small person, but it's been very clear for a few weeks that I'm pg, not just fat

last week at 12 weeks. but i had a baby 10 months ago, so i don't think my muscles were as hard as they should've been lol i'm not showing a lot, i just look chubby, but it's way more comfortable to wear the hidden band on the jeans (stretchy!!) than having to unbutton my pants.

*megsy* · August 2009

Between 17-19 weeks I really started to look pregnant. Before that I just looked chubby. I didn't show with #1 until 23 weeks so this is much earlier...but I was wearing maternity pants at 11 weeks bc I carry so low!

I have an 18 month old. I'm not showing yet - haven't pulled out the maternity clothes yet, but I'm guessing it won't be too much longer.

SheilaRN · August 2009

I have a 16 mo old. This second pg I think it was at about wk 18 that I pulled out the maternity pants. At first I was really bloated but after a few wks my regular clothes fit fine for a few more months.

angelaa73 · August 2009

with my first I wasn't in maternity until 20 or 22 weeks, I forget. I am 15 weeks and my regular clothes are starting to get snug tight so I had dh go to storage and get my maternity stuff out.

HawaiiBrideGrm · August 2009

Honestly? Like at 10 weeks, I was wearing maternity pants. At 12 weeks, a co-worker doctor said to me, "Are you sure you're not farther along?" I coulda slugged him.

dionnemd10 · August 2009

i felt like i had a belly around 12 weeks. i never got back into my regular pants after my positive test. i would say people could tell for sure by 14/15 weeks.

dancglady · August 2009

I started to wear maternity pants around 7 or so weeks. The bloat was so bad and it made the ms feel better if there wasn't anything pressing on my belly all day. Now I'd say I can't really go back except for a pair of capri jeans that stretch out as I wear them anyway. I'm not into shirts yet. My belly is getting bigger but it just looks fatty.

samantpo · August 2009

I'm still in my pre-pregnancy clothes. With my ds I didn't start wearing maternity clothes until 30 weeks...and I'm really hoping thats the same with this one bc I'm still not showing as much as I did with my ds...but the baby is happy and healthy and growing like a lil weed! I think it all really just depends on your body type!

pinktea · August 2009

I'm really just starting to show now, can still fit into pre. preg stuff but it's getting tight!
