When Did everyone start showing?

Re: When Did everyone start showing?

  • I'm 20 weeks and just barely started showing. It's annoying hearing how you don't look pregnant when all you want is to show off the baby bump.

  • about 20 weeks not much though I just started wearing maternity clothes.  I am at that stage where people I know well are asking and others who don't know me as well are just giving me looks: "Is she pregnant or did she just eat a whole pizza???" they don't want to ask. But since it is my first I WANT them to ask!


  • I'm 14w today.  I've been sporting a little bump for the last week and a half.  I have officially outgrown my first pair of pants and need to use the bella band in order to continue wearing them, but they just don't feel very comfortable with it on.  
  • FTM-started showing at 11w1d. Also baby measures 3 days ahead of schedule, but I've popped!
    TTC my #1 with PCOS since June 2010.
    Countless Clomid&Femara Cycles.

    I'm 15 weeks. If I wear something tight and form fitting clothes then you can see that I have a little pouch, it grows during the day as I eat/drink or get gassy.... Ugh. Strangers wouldn't think I was pregnant they would just think I have some extra pounds.
  • I'm 13+2 and in the past week or so I've seemed to pop out enough for family to comment on my bump. To those that don't know I'm pregnant I might just look fat but I think I look pregnant! I'm only 5'1 so I may show earlier than some.

    I feel like I had a noticeable (to me) bump at about 13 weeks. Now at 18 weeks I feel like it's definitely popped & I actually look pregnant instead of just pudgy. Of course, at work I wear more loose fitted shirts and a fleece zip up and I had a coworker tell me I didn't look pregnant.  Now, when I go home and put on a maternity shirt that forms around my belly you can see it.

    I'm 22 weeks and don't really look pregnant in most clothes yet. I am much larger than before in the stomach area, I started getting noticeably "bigger" at around 16 weeks. I wasn't thin to start and just look a bit bigger, unless my clothes are pretty tight (like jeans and a tee or certain dresses), then I have a noticeable bump.

  • I still feel like I'm just at that weird stage did she eat too much or is she pregnant? Mine grows throughout the day and sometimes my whole stomach up to my ribs will be hard and other times it's just hard up to belly button I keep feeling little air bubbles definitely not gas feeling and little flutters I'm so excited! 13 weeks and 3 days people that know I'm pregnant say it's a bump for sure but other ppl I have no idea what they think!
  • with my first i didn't look pregnant until about 7 months when she started to poke through my fat, i was a solid 30lbs heavier than i am now, this time around at 22weeks i FEEL like i am showing but the people i know at my local shops all say i am still not showing. i have a tilted uterus, (had ultrasounds done for other reasons besides baby) and found that the top of my uterus tilts back, while the bottom tilts forward, so my baby is really low for the time being, and is only popping out on the bottom a bit for me, and the baby seems to be pushing up on the rest of my belly, making me fell like i am showing more than i probably am.

  • I was still pretty small @ 16 weeks. I popped @ 17 weeks and now at 18 weeks I'm monstrous. :P Normal clothes officially don't fit.

    With #1 she sat so low from the get go that I wasn't fitting into my regular jeans by 8 weeks. Everyone/every pregnancy is different. :)
  • First baby...been in maternity clothes since I was 8 weeks. Needless to say I didn't get to keep the secret for 12 weeks.
  • 22 weeks tomorrow and the bump has finally arrived!
  • Around 28wks with my daughter.

  • I started showing as early as eight wks. I'm 23 wks now and everyone ask me am I having twins or thinks I'm due in about a month instead of in 4 mths


    Im in the same boat....I popped in full force at 8 weeks...now all I get is "omg you're huge" or "there's no way they calculated right". It's getting hard to not react...I know people don't mean to be offensive, but I feel like I should stand up for all Preggos and say it's hard enough to feel confident and secure through this...Just tell me I'm adorable.
  • Y'all are lucky!!!!! I'm a second time mom! I started showing at 5 weeks:( you could see a small bump. I think it was bloating but it stayed like that and grew! Im 20 weeks now and I'm so big I'm measuring 27+ weeks! In the belly compared to the last time. No Doppler has been used and 1 super zoomed in ultrasound. She only measured the head n then heart. You could only see the head on the ultrasound plus the neck. I still swear I'm having twins and feel very very stupid. But like my first I hardly had any symptoms but breast tenderness/growth (duh), no P(duh), uncomfortableness 24/7, belly swelling (duh) . oh and braxton hicks that I can really feel!!! And a lot of them during the day the day, and night! I felt baby moving at 15 weeks too. It felt like my stomach was jiggling and then a little boop here or there.( I suspect the boop was gas though, only because you really shouldn't feel baby move that early) but now I feel stupid thinking baby is kicking on the lower left and right sides! Perhaps its punching too? I don't think arms are that strong or long enough! Sad I feel so dumb I still think its 2:(
  • First baby, like 20 weeks.
    This baby, people knew I was pregnant before I knew I was pregnant. lol. seriously. 
    Although I'm at a point that strangers are still like "you're SO tiny" and my family is all "omg. how many are in there?" so it depends on who you ask.

  • @Countrygirl0289 yes we all have read your thread that is still on the first page about your belief you are having twins despite no evidence to support it.

    Ftm, I have the tiniest of bumps at 16 weeks, but I have never carried weight in my stomach and it's always been flat, ( my weight is in my thighs and bottom), so it was easy to notice and feel the difference.
  • I'm 20 Weeks 5 Days along, and I started ti show a lottle bit at about 18 weeks 6 days. Now, I'm starting to show more and more! It's pretty excited, yet weird, since I'm a furst time mommy. To a human baby, that is. :)) I call my two dogs my babies, as well. :)
  • I'm 15 weeks and here and there strangers are noticing. I'm not super skinny but also not chubby or anything so I think people have been thrown off by my belly being so much bigger than the rest of my body. If I wear something to show it off, I usually see a stranger or two on the train glancing over wondering if they should chance offering me a seat. So, right now I'm in the "is she pregnant or have a beer belly?" Stage lol

  • I started to show at 15 weeks.
  • 11 weeks, and I'm a FTM. I'm 5'2" and have a short torso. I was surprised I popped out so early, but my mom said she carried the same: all belly. 
  • Didn't start to show until now at 22 weeks. He's like a little volleyball sitting on my tummy! I'm like where'd you come from LOL
  • I'm 18 weeks 3 days and I just started showing.
  • I'm 16 and a half weeks and I haven't shown at all. I've actually lost weight from my loss of appetite and intense nausea, luckily the doc says that's normal. The only way I'm really showing is my intense breasts that are growing in every direction! Lol I'm kind of loving my tiny body and big boobs right now but I'm so excited to start seeing this baby bump.

    Mind you, this is my first pregnancy, I think I'll start showing within the next month!

    The advice I keep getting is "everybody's pregnancy is different"
  • I started showing at 16 weeks .. It seemed to just appear! It does depend on the person though
  • Right away. I had gas so at 8 weeks I was huge and I am not overweight.
  • It depends on what I wear. I'm 18 1/2 weeks and most strangers can't tell because I hardly ever get offered a seat on the subway-- but I know people who know me can tell. 
    It's in that- is she chubby or pregnant stage

  • FTM, I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow and I'm not showing.
  • I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow and I'm pregnant with my fourth baby. I'm not showing at all. But I didn't show with a visible bump with my other three until about 6/7 months along. But I think I'll be showing a little bump within my fifth month.
  • I've just started showing at 19 weeks. Nothing drastic though, just a tiny bump. I highly doubt others can tell.

  • I started showing at 15 weeks but its a small tiny bump only i and my hubby can notice and i can stillfit in my pre pregnancy pants n shirts. I actually lost 20pounds with hypermesis so i shrunk lol
  • 20+1 today; ftm. I started showing at 18 weeks. I was overweight before, so I was surprised it happened so quickly. A stranger noticed today, so maybe I'm past ''is she fat or pregnant'' point by now.




  • 16 weeks and finally family has begun to start to be able to see something! If they didn't know, they wouldn't suspect a thing though...But im rocking the hair-tie trick for my jeans!
  • Im 19 weeks and four days and i just started showing in the last week and a half.
  • I'm 18.5 weeks now and I've just recently started showing. I'm still at the point where I'm wearing more flowy tops to hide it. I want it to be super obviously a baby when I start to show it off.
  • 28wks+ with DD1, this time I started getting a bump around 21ish wks.
