    This is my first and Im 18 wks and have a litle bump, I think it depends what I wear. I was wearing a summer dress and a friend made a comment that I had popped out! When I wear tracksuit pants and t.shirt, I don't think it is as noticeable.

    I starting noticing clothes getting too tight around my waist (couldn't do them up) at about 8 wks though.

    Don't worry, it will happen. Or at least I keep telling myself that! I now have a bump that I can notice, even if I'm wearing "normal" clothes, and after dinner it's always slightly bigger! But in my normal work clothes, wearing a shirt that isn't 'firm fitting' the average person wouldn't be able to tell, can only see I have a bump if I'm wearing a shirt that isn't loose..even then it probably doesn't look like a baby bump at all! Keep telling myself that I will start to grow out...soon...lol

    im almost 27 weeks and most people still dont think im preg, and those that do notice think that im about 3 or 4 months, not 6! i didnt start to show at all until 20 weeks but i did lose close to 5kgs with morning sickness, ive only just got back up to my pre pg weight. i still wear my size 10 pants just with the button undone

    I am 19wks with my second and somedays i look preg and somedays i don't. My belly does tend to look a lot bigger at night. I find if i wear a preg top i look preg, if i wear a normal top i look like i ate too much lunch but not necessarily preg.

    With my 1st my I had a growth spurt from 20-26 weeks. At 20wks it was still maybe she is maybe she isn't, but by the time i got to 26weeks it was like WHOA she's so preg.

    That being said some people were suprised to find out i was preg/how far a long i was the weekend before i gave birth & i was 34 weeks (or maybe they were just being really polite)

    I'm jealous of all those who popped out I couldn't do up my pants from about 5 or 6 weeks & have just got slowly bigger as time as gone on. I feel like I've missed out

    25 weeks here and not looking pregnant. Just fat...but I was overweight to start with so no one thinks I'm pregnant. Haven't put on any weight yet either but am wearing maternity tops and pants just for the extra length in the torso (to go over my baby belly/flab) mainly.

    I finally had to stop wearing my jeans at 21 weeks because it was uncomfortable to have the button digging into my uterus.

    Different strokes for different folks I guess...I have heard that a first pregnancy doesn't show as much as a second....is this true?

    With DD I was about 16wks when it was obvious to strnagers I was pregnant.

    This time around I would say it's obvious now (I am 13wks).
