When did you start showing?

ohheyitskristine · March 2017

When did you start showing? I think I started showing as soon as 10 weeks. It's my first so maybe it's just fat? But now I'm 13+6 and i'm definitely showing. My usually squishy belly is hard (and squishy).

To where other people could tell?
1st pregnancy about 18 weeks.
2nd about 15 weeks.
3rd (this) pregnancy- with twins, now at 12 weeks.

cmar1006 · March 2017

With my first it was around 15/16 weeks.
This one, I'm also carrying twins and can totally tell now at 11/12 weeks. My OB seven commented on how "large" my uterus is. Yay.

sarahufl · March 2017

I couldn't hide it anymore with DD around 18 weeks. At 13w4d, I feel like I already look huge, but I am probably about the same size I was with DD. My friends say you can't tell, but idk if they are just being nice.

Becky012016 · March 2017

First time it was: first tri- nothing, second tri- she looks kind of fat, third tri- jk she's definitely pregnant.

This time I'm starting the fat stage a smidge sooner but probably won't be obviously pregnant for a while still.

msashley2010-2 · March 2017

With DD I wasn't showing until 20 weeks.

I will be 16 weeks tomorrow and I'm not noticeably pregnant looking but my stomach does look a little bigger. Could be baby? Could be burrito?

Sugargirl1019 · March 2017

I still think I'm all bloat.. husband can't tell yet. I'm 15 weeks FTM.

satuttle1014 · March 2017

I had a bump at 14 weeks with my 1st. This time I feel like I was 10 weeks when my bloat started to harden up.

SummerGirl21 · March 2017

First kid - 17 weeks (barely)
Second kid - 8 weeks (clearly)
This kid - meh...now-ish? (12 weeks)... but I'm also starting at my highest weight of the three pregnancies so it's mostly fat.

ShreyaR · March 2017

First time 20 weeks, I think
This time- 12 weeks 5 days, nothing yet..,
On that note, I am completely confused right now, at 9-10 weeks I could feel something hard when I lay down on my back, which I definitely thought was my baby, it was quite prominent, but now it's kind of gone or should I say shrunk in size, my tummy is all soft and squishy now, it kind of made me freak out, I think I doubt if I actually have a baby in there because I still haven't had my scan, 1st scan is on Monday. At 12 weeks did you feel anything at all as in any sign of a bump or something hard when you lay down on your back?

A couple ladies on this board had the same thing happen to them around the same timeframe. Their doctors told them it was their colon, and that after a BM it could go away.

labby18 · March 2017

I laid down on the floor yesterday (13wks 4days) to stretch and DH said "ooh your tummy is def starting to pop." I flicked him off haha. He said "I'm not sure if other people would be able to tell, but I definitely can" i said thank you i just feel fat and he told me it's definitely more round and center. So apparently I'm starting to show now...

Thanks for your reply but my BM has been fine so far, infact it's better when I am pregnant...Wonder what's happening? Anyhoo, I suppose I will have to be patient and wait until Monday morning to see the little one dancing, perhaps that will settle my nerves!

Souptin · March 2017

First was about 15-16 weeks. by 18 I had a defined baby bump.

this time, I am 12 now and I notice but I dont think its super apparent yet- I expect it will be in a week or two.

Sprite2012 · March 2017

With my first, visibly to others around 18 weeks. This time I was in maternity pants by 8 weeks, and visibly showing by 10 weeks.

mrs_tacos · March 2017

I'm a FTM, 14+5 today (been pregnant before, but never past 12 weeks), and I've been noticeable pregnant to where even strangers can tell for about the last week. There's just no mistaking that this is a baby bump. But I'm short with a small frame and torse, there isn't really anywhere for everything to go but out. (My mom is even smaller than me, and we've been joking that we don't have the option of carrying high or low, because we only have one place to carry.

)

Same here.

Breath_Easy92 · March 2017

I could tell at like 8 weeks but people started asking me how far along I was at 10 weeks. I've only gained 2/3 pounds at almost 16 weeks now and it doesn't go up and down so it's not bloat. I'm a FTM but everyone in my family shows really early so I'm not surprised.

ohheyitskristine · March 2017

Yeah I'm totally showing at only 14 weeks. But maybe it's just the "oh she's getting fat" showing??? Grrrr i don't wanna get too huge...im so short...it'll look so bad!!!

JNR6510 · March 2017

I guess 14 weeks was the magic number for me. Random people at Walmart now think I am fat enough safely to ask "When are you due?"

Hopefulmommy1980 · March 2017

At 12w I can tell but no one else can. My pants are gettting tight. I bought them a size too big right before I found out I was pregnant. I am a bigger girl to start with and my weight fluctuates so most people probably just think I am gaining weight again.

mercury94 · March 2017

@Hopefulmommy1980 I'm in pretty much the same boat at 13 weeks. Bought maternity clothes because mine don't fit. DH says I look pregnant. I think he's just being nice. No one else can tell.

Ugh. I hate when people do that. Wal mart seems to be the place for inappropriate behavior and comments. With DD I had some random big bellied guy come up and put his hand on my stomach. Then I reached right over and put my hand on his and said "feels pretty awkward to have someone do that to you, huh?"

yasandson · March 2017

@Msashley2010 you killed me !!!! looool, i am SO doing that to the first person who dares touch my belly !
i dont think i am showing already. I mostly think im getting fat. Even hubby cant see a bump in there so i guess ill just wait a little. Got a long way to go still ! im 12 weeks 5 days

edited because i couldnt get the ticker right lmao

stephy_p · March 2017

I am 16 weeks and think I am sort of starting to show now. It depends a lot on what I wear and how straight I stand. People who see me frequently can tell, I obviously can tell, but today I saw a friend that I hadn't seen in months. She didn't know I was pregnant and was surprised when I told her. I was wearing a super loose top and cardigan though. I think if I had anything more form fitting on, she would not have been so surprised!

jutondreau · March 2017

Well past 20 weeks with both of my boys....with this pregnancy, I'm 15+2 and I am showing. I also had not gotten back in shape or lost all of my pregnancy/breastfeeding weight before getting pregnant this time.

ColoradoHiker · March 2017

20-22w with DS. I'm still bloated a lot by the end of the day, but I look pretty normal in the morning now at 15+2. I wear maternity shirts now bc they're comfy, but I don't really need them yet.

When did you start showing?
