    About 14-16wks with DD but I was also about 10kgs lighter.

    This time I have the 'belly fat' to contend with and I think I look fat still not pregnant although its starting to take a little bit of preg shape only I can really tell. My DH (when I asked him on the weekend) said it still looks like "Ive let myself go"!
    I dont think it will be much longer as its starting to go a little harder now so I think by the time I come back to work after Xmas it will be baby shape....Im 18wks on Thur!

    This time around by late afternoon at 8 weeks I had a little pot belly. But I really showed around 13 weeks. When I first told my work colleagues at that stage I did have one tell me that they'd noticed and wondered, so it wasn't just me! On the upside, it slowed down in the third tri and now I look small for dates.

    First time around I was about a month different, so a small pot at around 12 weeks and a noticeable bump from 15-16 weeks. If memory serves me correctly.

    right... so I don't feel like I have poped, just still have my flabby belly. but when I came home yesterday and hugged DH he goes 'wtf is that?!' and was refering to my hard tummy digging into him. so he is noticing it. I'd say though, my tummy is the same size, just now its harder rather than soft and squishy.

    About 25 weeks for me, I'm tall and DD was small for her age as well as low fluid. I had no belly. It was a bit disappointing, lol. At 34 weeks (when she was delivered), I only measured at about 25 weeks.
    But, with this one, I'm 11+3 and I'm having to suck it in because we're not telling anyone til Christmas Day!! I can't wait to be able to see my parents and not suck it in!!

    And PZ, your pregnancy photos are gorgeous! I looked at them the other day.

    I hid it until 19 weeks, and at 34 weeks was the last time I heard someone sound surprised to find out I was pregnant (not just flabby) I reckon I "popped" around that 33-34 week time.

    I'm 170cm, pre-preg weight 69kg. I just had a really little belly that was nursing a 4kg human. Nobody picked it, even my very capable midwife. And especially not my MIL, who blamed my scrawnyness on my vegan diet.

    For me, I was 12-13 weeks, and noticeably pregnant by 14 weeks. I am quite tall, a size 8 and being a group fitness instructor I always had a flat tummy so it was quite noticeable.
