    Hey mbl,

    I was about 15w when I got a bump I could see, but for others I really didn't start popping out till about 19-20w. If it's your first baby it's not really till a little later that you start to show.

    Soon you'll have the nice little baby bump they makes it so much more real.

    With DD1 I 'popped' at 17 weeks, with DD2 I was 14 weeks and with DD3 I was about 10 weeks or less.

    I depends who you ask.
    I noticed i'd popped at 18 weeks with this bub, was earlier with DS.

    According to my family Im huge and must be expecting triplets, yet this morning at the kinder orientaiton, i waled in, it was standing room only, then another woman (who i found out was 20 weeks pg, Im 26w) walked in and people leapt up to offer her their chair. Maybe I just look fat

    Don't stress MyBabyLove - if this is your first, it is really common not to show for awhile, because your stomach muscles are unstretched and great at holding everything in place. I remember with my first I didn't really pop til after 20 weeks. Everyone is different some people get a bump really early, others really late. Especially if you're tall.

    This is my first and didn't show till around 19 weeks, although I was carrying a bit due to AC treatment, well that's my excuse anyway

    i've noticed some decent expansion in the last couple of weeks pants had been getting tighter from about 13 weeks but it's only recently that i've really noticed some changes.

    Well i'm either showing, or i'm getting slightly fatter at the bottom of my tummy and out the front. One of the two...
    I have put on two kilos in the past few weeks (after losing five in the first trimester) so for all i know, it could just be fat. Haha

    Finally my bump is starting to show!! It's very exciting, although I feel a bit self-conscious at work like everyone is looking at it, although it's not huge and in the tops I wear to work which are naturally fairly loose anyway I don't think it would be that noticeable anyway, and there are quite a few pregnant women in our office at the moment who are further along than I am, but I haven't told anyone except my immediate co-workers and my supervisor, so I guess I feel a bit weird about it... But if I put on just normal everyday "around the house" clothes, yep you can tell I have a bump!

    I don't really have a bump either. My normal jeans/ work pants are uncomfortable and don't do up anymore but because I was fairly thin to begin with, I just look like my belly sticks out a little bit. A lot of people have that naturally, so to strangers I don't look pregnant.

    One person (who knew how I looked before I was pregnant) noticed my belly and figured it out, but to most pople it is not obvious yet. I figure that the longer it stays small, the longer I can keep cycling, so I am taking it as a positive.
