When did you start showing?

jshu610 · January 2010

I'm just wondering because it seems like a lot of people are posting pictures of their bumps, and I have no bump, not even the start of one it appears. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat!

I didn't start showing with DS until 16 weeks.

late late 12 wks/13 wks and I can still hide it with a big shirt and sweater.

(see my post a few posts below labeled 5 wks, 6 wks, 8 wks, holy cow 13 wks pics)

I went from wearing my pants yesterday to a bump today...but this is my second. (12 weeks)

stpetegirl · January 2010

It must be bloat because I haven't gained anything, but I feel like I am showing now. It's my 2nd as well.

AmyLovesEddie14 · January 2010

I didn't start showing until around 18 weeks and I didn't look "pregnant" until i was about 24 weeks. This is my first.

astroMom · January 2010

this is my first...I haven't gained any weight, and you can't tell when I'm dressed, but the shape of my tummy is definitely different...I'm 8.5 weeks

just this morning I looked at myself and thought "I can't hide this much longer". I haven't told any1 from work yet but I may start getting questions soon because my belly is not flat.

SaraF30 · January 2010

My belly is no longer flat and I've gained a few lbs. I'm sure I'm going to get questions soon. I try to hide it with loose shirts. But remember everybody's body is different.

I didn't start showing until 15-17 wks with my first, I'm 12 weeks now and I'm just beginning to round a little bit. Honestly any first timer showing before 12 weeks is a joke, because your uterus doesn't even get big enough to come out from behind your pubic bone until then.

ETA: There are some who show a little earlier then 12 weeks, especially if they are super thin, but what is showing isn't baby just everything getting pushed up to make room for baby.

I noticed around 13-14 weeks, but it was really low, small and easy to hide. Everyone else noticed around 17-18 weeks.

LindseyJW · January 2010

with my first, i went up 4 cup sizes between 6 and 8 weeks, so that was pretty noticeable! my belly popped exactly at 12w1d. one day i was not showing, the next day i was.

with this baby, i've been wearing my be band since 6 weeks. i have a small belly and will probably be showing in a couple weeks.

nopegoat · January 2010

I didn't start showing till 15.5-16wks...

wearenutts · January 2010

I am showing now, some. (8wks) but before I was pregnant I wore a size 0. I'm sure most of it is bloat but it does feel nice to have something popping out there.

I still get people amazed. "OMG your showing already. Are you sure your only 8 weeks? How much weight have you gained? You better be careful it's not unhealthy weight."

Lapsfam · January 2010

I'm almost 14 weeks, and I notice my stomach feels "harder."

I always had a slight roll though - so I think any bump is buried under a layer of flab :-)

j&bmay2006 · January 2010

I think at 14 weeks the first time. I am hoping it is that long or longer this time, but I am skinnier than I was last time so I don't know.

synchrosally · January 2010

18 weeks

allydgy9278 · January 2010

With my first child I started showing when I was about 4 mo, but I'm sure with this one it will come alot sooner, although I'm not showing yet and I'm about 9 weeks now.

GreysGirl · January 2010

I would say around 16-17 weeks.

b2binnj · January 2010

I'll be 12 weeks on Saturday and while I am not "showing" my stomach is thicker - unfortunately my thighs are too Huh?

It's all something I notice but nothing others are noticing much - other than DH.

arlegs · January 2010

I did not show with my son until around 20 weeks.

chance_encounters · January 2010

With my first daughter I started with a bump around 16 weeks, my second around 13 weeks. This is my 3rd and at this point I just look bloated. I expect to see a small bump around 13 weeks with this one but I will probably not look pg until 16-18 weeks.

FutureMrs.Brady · January 2010

With my first I started showing around 20-22 weeks, with this one I've already got a little bump at 12 weeks.

Sareclark · January 2010

No bump yet, but my stomach feels 'hard' right about my pubic bone in the center.

I'm curious about when I'll show. I've got a very long torso (with stubby little legs, lol) and I know long torsos tend to hide the baby longer, but I've also always had a very flat stomach (I carry fat in my butt and love handles) so it'll be interesting to see when I 'pop'!

I have a long torso too. Maybe I wont show for a while then. It's also my first baby, so I guess I shouldn't be too worried that I'm not showing already.

MrsHollyMetesh · January 2010

I had the typical bloat from 10-14 weeks, then the start of a bump at 15, and then a DEFINITELY bump at 16 weeks, and now its huge

Be patient, you'll be bumping it before you know it!

Tassie06 · January 2010

i started showing slightly around 12w, i have a short torso and long legs, and women with shorter torsos generally show earlier then those with long torsos. although i could be showing sooner because my doctor thinks i might be 15 - 16 weeks along, im getting an ultrasound next wed to determin this.
