When did you start showing ??

rochellereyna22 · February 2016

Hey girls ! I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I'm a first time mommy , and I barely have a belly, just curious as to when you guys started to really show

You can check out past HDBD posts to see that, but most people were definitely showing by 20 weeks. However, that doesn't happen to everyone. I knew someone who never even had to switch to maternity clothes. (She had her baby early).

Ditto PP, look through the board and you will see that people show at different rates. FTR, I was showing at 12 weeks.

st time? About 27 weeks (and I wound up having w 9lb 13 oz baby at delivery at 39 weeks). This time? About 22 weeks I looked like I had more than an "I over ate" belly. Everyone is different though.

I started showing at about 20 weeks. FTM

I noticed a change sooner obviously, but I started showing where people would actually notice around 20 weeks or so.

lwcbrooklyn · February 2016

I started showing around 20 weeks, but since it's winter and I'm wearing more layers, people didn't really start noticing until last week (23 weeks). I'm 24 weeks now, and still with winter wear a lot of people don't notice. I notice though! I'll never get a seat on the subway!

First time mom here. I started really showing (to the point where I couldn't hide it) around 20-21 weeks.

saladflambe · February 2016

I mean, I started gaining weight like immediately, but I still don't really look pregnant. I can definitely still hide it. I'm 26.5 weeks FTM

FTM here and I started showing around 15 weeks. I think it definitely depends on the person, stature, etc. I'm short (5'3") with a very short torso and virtually no stomach muscles so I think it made it easier for baby boy to push out. By 19 weeks I had strangers asking about the baby! My best friend didn't start showing until she was about 25 weeks though... everyone is different!

Me at 15 weeks:

ETA: holy crap I didn't realize how big that picture would be!

I started showing about now (25 weeks) - FTM, and I'm chubby. My best friend, who is now 10.5 weeks pregnant and also a FTM started showing last week. *shrugs Something something every pregnancy is different? :P

I think I started showing around 20 weeks.

Some days I show more than others. I didn't really start showing to others until about two weeks ago, but today (I'm 25w5d) I told someone I was pregnant and she couldn't tell. She asked if I had just found out. I think it has a lot to do with your body and how baby lays. If I wear maternity shirts it's a given but if I wear my regular shirts it's harder to tell. Everyone is different

28 weeks with #8. This is pretty normal for me. If I were to wear maternity clothes, it would be more noticeable, but you can't really tell when I wear my regular clothes. With my 3rd, I never did pop. People who didn't know I was pregnant were shocked when they found out I had a baby.

I seriously have no idea how you are not showing and you are this far along with #8. It just doesn't make sense! I am 28 weeks with #1 and I am triple your size!

@sarawifenow I'm actually kind of surprised baby is hidden so well. I don't get big, but usually, people can tell by now, except the one. I'm a little concerned because he was an IUGR baby. Fundal height was at 28 weeks at my 25 week appointment, so not behind then. And I've only gained 6 lbs, which is the least amount of any kid, so maybe that's helping? My blood clotting disorder can cause IUGR, but lovenox should help avoid that, or so I've read. I guess we'll find out this week how baby is growing. I can tell you, though, it sure isn't comfortable for baby to be all inside. My poor organs are so compressed right now. I'd rather be showing more than not at all.

mcb2016 · February 2016

I had two people this week have no idea I'm pregnant. I started off quite over weight so I don't think I'm really showing yet. I can for sure see the changes with my body but they are less noticeable to other people.

Watch you'll pop in a couple weeks!

FTM- I started showing around 14 weeks or so, but I'm having twins.

Norway23 · February 2016

Ftm here too! Just hit 24 weeks and still only showing a little bit... Have the super attractive beer belly look right now

Im sure ill be bigger in no time, but everybody is completely different!

helleebellee · February 2016

@sarawifenow I hope so! I mean, the secret is fun to keep, but it's my last pregnancy, so a little belly at the end would be nice.

proudparent2b · February 2016

FTM, 27 weeks - I've gained over 10 inches around and 26 pounds, but I just look fat, not pregnant.

I'm tall with a long torso, B belly and carry low.
