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.
14 weeks for me. I was shopping when a stranger asked me when I was due and if I needed help carrying my shopping bags to the car. This is my first, and surprised at how quickly I started to show. I am 17 weeks now and HUGE! But I put that down to being short. I'm only 5.3.
I've pretty much only just gone from "is she fat or pregnant?" to "OMG are you having twins?!" in the past couple of weeks :lol: This is the latest I've got my bump, which is odd. I started looking it around 25w with DS, 29 with DD, and around 32 this time. But each time, it's been sudden and is getting bigger once it's there. Hope that makes sense...
People started asking me if I was preg around 8 weeks this time. The greengrocer asked me if it was a girl or a boy. She was very surprised when I told her I was only 12.5 weeks! Can't remember exactly when it was with DS, but later. Maybe around 16-18 weeks??
#1 -14 weeks
#2 - 12 weeks
#3 - 8-10 weeks
I'm almost 14 weeks and I'm huge, have asked been asked on numerous occasions what the sex is and when am I due.
I noticed a pot from around 14 weeks and I started wearing an extender on my pants from 12 weeks. Other people noticed around 16 weeks :)
14 weeks it was obvious I was pregnant
With DD.. I was 8 months when I had the definite "yup, she's pregnant" belly.. I used to be a size 10-12 until then, but preferred baggier clothes.. However I didn't actually know I was pregnant until 7 months soooo....
DS, had a slight bump up the top at 13 weeks, noticeable by 18 weeks..
This time around.. Definately have got the bump and have since 11 weeks (could feel the hardness at the top at 8 weeks!) and I already feel as if my stomach is going to explode (like when you get REALLY bad gas)
At 7mths with my firstborn I was with Mum and she mentioned to a 3rd party about me having a baby. I was asked "Oh when are you due" I said "In 2 months" she thought I must have been newly pregnant.
I didn't have a noticeable belly with DS1 until around 20 weeks. With DS2 it was more like 10 weeks lol
at just over 6 ft and with a retroverted uterus, it was not until i was about 30 weeks that I actually had a bump. It wasnt until I was 38 weeks however that other people began to notice I was pregnant.
