Baby Bump- when did yours grow?

sunshinebride07 · October 2012

Hi ladies!! Congrats to all of you ladies.:)

I am going on my 12th week pregnant and am absolutely thrilled!! I have not gained any pounds but I have a noticeable bump which formed around week 10 and is now quite noticeable. When did yours become noticeable?? When did you have to switch your pants size? I see that coming in my very near future. I am looking at the band to put over my pants.

Thanks ladies!!

First time I didn't show until 16 weeks, and I didn't look actually pregnant until after 20 weeks. I'm thinking his time will be different, though.

With my first pregnancy, I was still squeezing into normal clothes through week 16. I never had a bump, but rather my entire stomach slowly expanded. I just looked heavy. I never looked truly pregnant until week 32.

This time, I can see I will have the same thing, but I am noticing I am having trouble with my clothes already. Gotta love fluff.

I'm only 11 weeks right now, and I'm already using my bellaband. My pants stopped fitting last week sometime, but I'm not putting on the maternity jeans just yet. I have a little bit of a bump. DH definitely notices though.

With DD, I didn't start showing until about 18w. It wasn't noticeable to others until about 22w.

Every body and every pregnancy is different. I'm slim but tall, so baby had room to spread out. I expect to show much earlier this time, just because of the muscle memory thing.

Thank you ladies!:) Sounds like everyone is so different - depends on lots of things. I am embracing my little bump even though it is showing a little early.:)

#1- I was 20 weeks when people could actually tell

#2- I was 15-16 weeks when people could see the bump

#3- I have a bump now but people can't see it yet. I have a feeling it will be 15-16 weeks.

I have not switched pants yet, but I will be shortly. I wear scrubs for work and then come home and get into sweatpants, so I actually have not worn jeans in a couple days. I may need to switch really soon!

i'm plus sized and with my first pg didn't show until around 14 weeks. but, i am having extreme bloat with this one and for comfort alone, may be moving into maternity clothes sooner, rather than later.

As soon as I got finished peeing on the stick at 5 weeks pregnant! ...lol... My pants stopped allowing me to safely squeeeeeeeezzee in them at 7 weeks!

lyzabeth · October 2012

I showed early my first pregnancy (around 10 weeks), but I was able to button my pants under my belly for most of my pregnancy. Halfway through the 2nd Tri I got a couple pants one size up. I loved them because I wore them the rest of my pregnancy and pp! I hate maternity pants.

BrittKav · October 2012

I can tell I have a bump going, but no one else can at this point. It's mostly obvious in the morning when I wake up and I'm lying on my back, its very easy to tell where my uterus is. But this is my 4th pregnancy in less than 4 years, so my body knows what its doing. LOL. I think my bump will be obvious to family members around 14ish weeks if things continue growing like they have been these past few week.

AshleyEric609 · October 2012

First was 14 wks, second was around 9 wks, and it was about 9 wks this time too.

Jessicadbaker · October 2012

I can still button my pants but it's not comfortable. This is my 2nd pregnancy I'm 8 Weeks. I haven't gained any but I can tell my belly is expanding. Im also barely 5 ft 104 so my uterus expanding to the size of a grapefruit is showing pretty quick LOL

MamaKatB · October 2012

I am 11w with my first and haven't been able to wear my regular jeans since week 8. I was about 25 lbs overweight when I got pg and haven't gained a single pound since I found out but my belly is swollen and jeans were just uncomfortable. I'm rocking sweats and leggings for now. I guess I will need to get some maturity pants soon.

rowanthefrog · October 2012

The first time I really didn't have much of a bump until 16 weeks or so. The second time I was in maternity pants by 9 weeks. I hear it happens even sooner the third.

I didn't get a noticeable bump with DS until 15 weeks. This time around I've already grown out of a couple pairs of pants, and I'm using my Bella Band. But I don't quite have a cute little bump yet, I just look a little fatter than I was a few weeks ago.

kacelle · October 2012

With my first, I didn't pop until 16-17 weeks. I'm a size 0 for reference. At 10 weeks with a first pregnancy, it wouldn't be a baby bump.

homebird · October 2012

17 weeks

andyyougoonie · October 2012

With my first, I didn't show until closer to 20 weeks. I didn't switch to maternity clothes until 16 or 17 weeks.

Today is the first day I'm wearing maternity pants for this pregnancy and I'm just over 7 weeks. lol.

FirstPeanut2013 · October 2012

It depends on the day lol I feel like some mornings I totes have a bump- but then sometimes it's just gas or bloating! But I'm guessing I should start showing soon here for good Smile

eco+ri · October 2012

With DS I didn't showing until about 15 weeks, and this time around about now. I look super bloated, but I also hadn't fully lost my weight from DS : / .

HoolahZinger · October 2012

I didn't start showing until 18 weeks and wasn't noticed as pregnant by random people (my eye doctor) until 24 weeks. I didn't wear different pants until about 19 weeks.

effz · October 2012

I'm 12 weeks, started gaining weight from 6 weeks when I found out bump is showing a little now but growing n gaining the weight only on my belly so I look further into it than 12 weeks, hope I'm not the only 1! Lol

fd198 · October 2012

I didn't start to show until my 14th week! : it was soo cute!

tiffanyquintana · October 2012

Your post sounds like me! I was about 25lbs overweight when I conceived too. I'm 12wks along and have gained 4lbs. I don't look like I have a "bump" but look more bloated and pudgy then before. This is my 1st pregnancy so I'm curious how my body will change and this bloating will turn into a bonafide bump!
