So I recently looked in the mirror, and thought - "Holy hell, when did that happen?!" It seems that at 4 months 1 week, I already have quite the noticeable bump. I'm just wondering around when did everyone else start to pop, or at least notice their pop?

With DS I hid it a long time, probably until about 20 weeks. With this pregnancy around 15 weeks people noticed at work, now I'm definitely looking round. I look like I did around 28 weeks with DS now.
I was overweight to begin with, but I feel like in the last couple of weeks its been more obvious to people who don't know I'm expecting that I am pregnant. Without a shirt on, I feel like I look like I ate like 3 Chipotle burritos though.
Ok this might sound crazy but I had to buy maternity clothes at 8 weeks. I'm having twins though. I was showing almost immediately. It's been SO hard to hide this pregnancy. Hoping for a successful NT scan this week. Last week we had an unsuccessful screening.
I had a belly pooch before getting pregnant, so I kind of looked pregnant before I actually was. It wasn't until this weekend that strangers commented on my bump and asked when I due! I must have finally passed the, "Is she just pudgy?" to the "I feel confident about asking her about her pregnancy" line recently. I guess that means week 22 for me.
16 weeks, though I don't think I have 'pop' yet.. Because I was heavier set in that area to begin with it looks like I'm just fat now cause the bottom half hasn't rounded out yet. But people are noticing i'm pregnant and not just fat. With twins I'm sure this is just the start...
STM I would say about last week I was like "holy shit hello belly!" so around 18 weeks but I still feel like I sometimes look preggo and sometimes look like I have had one too many cheeseburgers! Just depends on what I am wearing.

19 weeks and apparently no one thinks I'm showing yet. I can see a bump, and my husband can see a bump, but no one else! Maybe it's because I'm growing all around instead of just out? I can feel some extra padding on my back and just look overall rounder.
Can't wait for the bump to actually start looking like a baby belly.
This week I hate to say it. I'm super short waisted and have only gained 5 pounds but it's round and there and doesn't look like squish anymore. I figured it's because it's my second but who knows.

I'm 17 wks & feel like I'm FINALLY starting to get a bump. WOO HOO! DH & I have been able to tell a difference but when I've shown family & friends their response has been, "Yeah, I can kinda see it." I'll take it. So glad to be some making progress on the bump front.
Sad to say but at 6 weeks I had a noticeable bump and by 7 weeks couldn't wear regular jeans and by 8 weeks there was no mistake I was pregnant. Of course this is my 5th pregnancy but that didn't stop everyone from saying you have to be having twins, which via ultra sound I can tell them no there is only one in there lol. Its been a little upsetting to me that I am this big for this long I guess it comes with having 5.
I am 14 weeks... I can tell I have a belly, but I don't think others notice yet! Great question... I keep looking at my belly and wonder what other people at wek 14 look like, although I know everyone is different
I noticed a difference early on but others didn't start commenting till maybe 22/23 weeks. I think I popped about 26. I was surprised by how long it took!
this is my first and i started showing around 13 weeks. i have gained 4lbs. i'm only 5'2 and a normal weight for my size so maybe that is why i am showing so early with my first. i also wonder if i'm showing because i have had major surgery to remove my left ovary and a rather large tumor a few years ago. not sure if that might have weakened some muscles and allowed the baby to "pop" out a little more.
Re: When did you "POP"?
I'm just trying to make sense of things :-)
