When did you start showing? That is, if you are...

Nicki Boston · October 2010

almost 16 weeks and not showing. I realize that everyone is different and it also depends on if you've already had a child.

Just curious!! Big Smile

With ds I was 16/17 weeks before I had a noticable bump.

This time around, I'm already sporting a bump.

14 weeks...

I am 17 weeks now and can still hide it with the right clothes

I am 16 weeks too and I don't think I am showing, at least not to people who don't know Im pregnant. People who do know say they see something, but I still think it's my lack of running more than baby bump!

I was about 12w when I had a noticeable bump if I had on anything form fitting. At 16w now it's obvious even with maternity clothes.

I am 16 weeks today and I can see a bump when my clothes are off, but once I put clothes on, nothing. My torso is pretty long and I was in good shape prior to getting pregnant, so my OB said it would take a bit longer for me to show to the outside world

With DD, I was 20-22 weeks before I had a bump. This time, I'm already showing.....

it's been obvious since about 12 weeks. and I now feel gigantic for only 15 weeks along. I'm really short though - barely 5' so I really have no where to go but out.

i'm terrified thinking about how big I'm going to get though. :-(

I have two girls already..and so im already showing...i can wear some clothes to hide it but if i wear anything remotely tight its definitely there!

willowprincess · October 2010

i've had strangers commenting and asking since about week 12, but my family and friends started noticing around weeks 8/9. everyone in my family shows early. i'm glad, but sometimes it's not so fun b/c i have no clothes left to wear and it's really hard to find any decent maternity dresses/skirts on a budget.

First pregnancy and I started sort of showing at 13 weeks. Mmostly because of how my bloat was at the time (I don't carry weight in my stomach normally).

It became a hard belly that I couldn't suck in around 15 weeks, and now it is pretty undeniable. Starting to get stranger's comments. It no longer looks like I may just have gained some weight. Plus, I like to wear more form fitting maternity clothes to show it off.

I am/was pretty average build, but am a bit short-waisted and always had a flat stomach, so the difference is pretty weird for me.

I'm 15 weeks and still not showing at all.

Nanna · October 2010

This is baby #3 in 3 years, so I feel like I've been showing since the second line showed on the pregnancy test! I'm showing enough that strangers are already stopping and asking me when I'm due.

blondie10m · October 2010

This is my first and I think people around me started noticing around 13 weeks. But I have a short torso and I'm petite. I didn't think it would happen so soon but I'm already in all maternity tops because none of my normal shirts even fit, even having gained only 3 lbs so far.

This.

*Scuzzlebutt* · October 2010

I didn't start to show until I was about 17 weeks with my first pregnancy. This time around, I started showing at about 10 weeks.

hannehanne · October 2010

My *husband* thinks I'm showing, but no one around me has noticed, and even my very excitable MIL is still talking about "when you start showing." Guess that means I'm not. I'm looking chubbier, though!

What is life like with two little ones and a third on the way? On one hand it sounds wonderful, on the other it sounds crazy.

This is me- I can suck it in and its gone. Its a bit of a bummer but I am thinking I will be glad later.

In a word? TIRING! 3 (almost) under 3 probably makes us certifiably crazy, but it's a decision that works for our family. We're blessed with children who nap well and sleep beautifully all night long. We also have very helpful family nearby. We couldn't do this if it weren't for those two things. But we're really happy to have our children be close in age (and to get the tough newborn/infant years over and done with!).
