When did you start to show?

Count Choculitis · October 2011

I am 11 weeks pregnant tomorrow (with twins) and some days I think I look pregnant, while other days I look totally normal -- as long as I maintain good posture and don't let my ab muscles go limp.

I would really like to be showing. It would make me feel better about stuffing my face in public and it might even land me a complimentary seat on the Metro train when it's crowded. So far -- I'm getting no love.

Please save this post for yourself to read in oh say about 20 weeks.

You'll be showing soon enough! and congrats on the twins!

12-13 weeks. It's not obvious to most but some -- like, my mom and sister definitely notice. Someone at work said I was "barely" showing.

I know what you mean about wanting to show!! I hate the "look fat not pregnant" stage.

I didn't show to strangers until about 18/20 weeks. It was obvious to me from 10/12 weeks - but I also have always been just a bit chubby, so I had a little camouflage to start with. Once you pop, oh mama, you pop!

im 11w 3d with my first - fraternal twins - and I had to buy maternity clothes yesterday.

None of my pants zip at all!

I think in 2 weeks ill be totally "popped"

I'm 21 weeks and feel huge. I did pop and ever since, everything I do is getting more complicated. I'm new at this, but enjoy your "pop free" time.

Hahahahahaha. All good answers! I think I can tell -- and my mom and husband can probably tell... but there's no way the rest of the world would ever know. For now I just look like a girl with a hearty appetite and weak legs.

Other people started noticing at 20 weeks. I got big quick though. By 24 weeks, I had people thinking I was due any day! Enjoy your time without the huge tummy. It gets uncomfortable fast.

I could tell at about 14-15 weeks. I got my first stranger comment at about 20 weeks. I feel like I have just exploded over the last 2 weeks...

I think I was solidly showing by 12 weeks (my second pregnancy, though).

Now, at 22 weeks, I'm probably looking like I was at 8 months pregnant with my first. Yikes!

I got my first stranger comment at 18 weeks. I had been showing weeks before that, but around 18 is when I really popped and it was a clear baby bump!

I didn't start showing until about 20 weeks and the last few weeks I have become huge! I kept asking when I would start showing too and now I just can't stop growing!
