How many weeks were you when your belly looked noticeably round and pregnant?
For my first pregnancy, I remember feeling podgy and depressed at 13 weeks - I no longer fit into my existing clothes, but couldn't fit into maternity wear either. I had to buy some in between clothes. It was more around 4-4.5 months when I looked pregnant!
First pregnancy, not obviously until about 24 weeks.
Second pregnancy about 18 weeks
Third pregnancy from about 16 weeks
I am 6ft tall and have a retroverted uterus so have space to hide a baby!
First time around 15 weeks?
This time I was really struggling from early on! First the bloated-ness from 7-10 weeks then I popped out at about 12 weeks lol.
Hate to think what would happen a third time!
Can't remember first time but about 11 weeks this time
It depended on what clothing I was wearing, but I still got the question mark at the end of a sentence asking if I was perhaps pregnant till about 27 weeks. Then the week after that people started asking when the baby was due and didn't need my confirmation. And I'm not bloated or big boned... I did start wearing maternity clothing at about 9 weeks as I didn't find it comfortable to have tight jeans or other trousers...
First time - I reckon convincingly pregnant - about 16 weeks (however from around 14-16 it was, is she? or is she letting herself go? LOL)
Second pregnancy - from about 13 weeks - it just sprang out into the pregnant formation my stomach muscles remembered from the first time hehehehehe
Probably around 17 weeks with my first. Then about the same with my 2nd. A bit later with #3 though, because I had a fair bit of extra weight which kind of hid it, so about 20/22 weeks before my belly looked pg, and not just fat!
3rd pregnancy - around 8 or 9 weeks. i had to wear baggy tops because i wasn't going public yet. Some people still guessed, thankfully they were too polite to say until we announced.
1st time - i know my boobs gave me away from around 8 weeks. not sure when my tummy popped though.
1st pregnancy, around 22 weeks.
2nd pregnancy, much earlier ... maybe 14 weeks? And ironically because I was so sick I'd lost weight, and so the belly was more obvious.
Unlike Santosha, I'm not 6 glamorous feet tall though - more like 5 foot, so the curvature is more pronounced :p
Yeah, about 24/25 weeks for all mine. When I finally started to show people thought I was about 4 months, I was 6 or more :lol:
I think DS was a little earlier... by a couple weeks.
Its actually an odd feeling having people around you go on & on about how you don't look pregnant, then BAM, babe in arms, lol. I'm not 6ft, but I'm tall & just don't carry big.
It was so frustrating with DD1. Waiting for this belly that just never wanted to happen!
3 weeks before DD2 was born I saw an anaesthetist with ex. Middle of winter & a baggy jumper had doc thinking I was just over weight... :lol:
By the end though, there's no hiding it ;)
I'm 7 weeks with #3 and I've popped! Pants don't do up and I have to wear baggy tops to hide it from my students....it's crazy! I've actually lost weight I'm the last few weeks so my belly is more prominent!
About 28 with DD and 25 with DS, but only if I wore a tight top. Otherwise it was around 30 with both.
26-28 weeks with DS1 and 24-26 weeks with DS2.
No-one noticed on me until I was 32 weeks... I could tell, for sure, but strangers couldn't.
With my first, I felt I was really starting to sport an egg shaped belly at about 14-14.5 weeks. But in hindsight, when I look at photos, I don't look pregnant. But I do look like I've put on a few kilos and drank too much soft drink.
This time I'm only 8 and a half weeks and I'm so bloated I look pregnant but it's bloat not baby!
First pregnancy I hid until 19 weeks, but even at 30 weeks it was a bit 50/50 as to whether I looked flabby or expectantly fab. I have a really long torso, so I kind of just get round. My bump was small to look at, and I remember my midwife quipping "where did you hide THAT?" when I birthed a 4kg baby. :lol:
Second it was about 24 weeks, maybe?
1st it was around 20 weeks that I started to look pregnant as opposed to just fat
2nd, around 16/17 weeks
With my first I was around 30 weeks before people started to notice, second pregnancy I started showing at 18 weeks, but then lost the baby at 19w5d, third I think was around 18 again.
