How soon did you *really* show with #2?

I am almost 11 weeks and I already look like an elephant. I could tell someone I'm 4 or 5 months and they wouldn't bat an eye. I've been in full-on maternity clothes for a week now and we've had to tell everyone already because there is no hiding it!

    I am worried that this will happen to me too. If I eat a small meal my tummy blows up like a balloon.

    I think at 12 weeks with #2 I looked 6 months pregnant with #1.... I was so happy that right after #1 my body "bounced" back.... well when it found out it was pregnant I think my uterus said "here we go again" and just gave up holding it in! The worst part was I could tell the people who knew me were thinking how did she get that big so fast... I really wasn't that fat!

    25 weeks? Somewhere around there. I carry small and don't show early (although I definitely felt like an elephant at 11 weeks, no one else could really see it).

    THIS, except I think I started to show more around 21-22 weeks with #2.

    I'm kind of in denial but already starting to show at 14 weeks - with #1 people were still curious and looking at me funny at 22 weeks, not sure if I was pregnant or ate a big burrito for lunch.  Right now I feel like a cow.  The weird part is I've gained WAY less weight at this point this time around than I did last time.  WEIRD.

    I was pretty late in really showing. I don't "pop" until 32 weeks though, so at 7 months people could really tell I was PG. Before then, people would think I was chubby! LOL!

    I got to 20 weeks with B for maternity clothes, 18 with E and 16 with L.........

    LOL!

    Everyone carries so differently. It's so hard to compare......

    I'm not really showing yet, nor wearing maternity clothes.  I think I was in mat clothes by now last time just because I gained weight.  This time I am starting off smaller.  End of day I look big, though.

    At 4 weeks I knew I was pregnant just from the bloat.  I had tested and it was BFN and had one day of spotting then MAJOR bloat and tested a few days later.  By about 9 weeks, I looked about 5-6 months, it was crazy!  I had lost all of the pg weight from DS but not the 10 lbs I had put on TTC.

    Aww. I am jealous of those who show early and big. To me it is a sign of health, since my kids have all had IUGR (my boy was only 2lb13 at 38 weeks when he was born). I wish I had giant pregnant bellies, even though I know it's uncomfortable towards the end.

    From weeks 9-12, I easily could have passed for 6 months pregnant. Then around week 13 the bloat went away drastically, and I looked more "normal". I think I've definitely looked bigger through most of this pregnancy than with my DS, but now I'm at the end it's slowed down a lot and I'm smaller now at this point than I was with my DS. It's weird. I got bigger quick, but definitely slowed down quite a bit from 32ish weeks on.

    This ... with #1 I just looked thick around the middle and felt incredibly fat until about 22-25 weeks when it finally starting looking like a "proper" baby bump.  With this one, I'm 15 weeks currently and when I look down I see pregant belly but fairly normal waist/hips ... it's making it really challenging to hide at work because I'm waiting until the last possible moment to tell them considering they're not going to take the news very well.  (SIGH)
