I started to notice a bit of a belly at 6wks but I hadn't really lost that post baby belly. By 9wks I was wearing my belly band by 12wks people were asking me when I was due (which I didn't want to tell them as it was so far away). I love my baby belly but today I was working at a school and there was another lady there who is due about 3-4wks after me and you could barely tell she was pg whereas here I am pleased I bought so much maternity wear cause I am def getting the use out of it!
