    I'm nearly 24 weeks and people still get shocked when I tell them how far along I am. it does hurt though when people say 'oh, you're so tiny!' because I want to look pregnant!! I'm sure it will come though! And I don't worry too much, cos the little Barklette certainly knows how to kick his mummy!! He's definitely in there

    With my first baby, I didn't pop until around the 20th week. I think it will also have to do with your stomach muscles. The more toned you are the longer it will probably take until you are REALLY showing IYKWIM. That's why more second and third time mums show alot earlier because our tummy muscles are alot looser, and well let's just say we have alot more room for the baby to grow into

    I agree with what Mel said. I have popped earlier this time because my tummy muscles have a small gap between them from having my DD. be careful about doing tummy excercises because this can split the abs meaning you would need a major operation. enjoy fitting into normal clothes a bit longer coz by 32 weeks you will just want to be out of elastic. again
