I know that it's different for everyone but I'm just curious as to when you starting showing with your first pregnancy?

I know that it's different for everyone but I'm just curious as to when you starting showing with your first pregnancy?
I "popped" at about 11 weeks.
Noticeable to *me*, at probably 10-11 weeks... Noticeable to most other people, about 20 weeks or so (I wear reasonably loose clothing).
People still ween't noticing at 36 weeks for me. the other 2 pregnancies weren't much different either. I disapointed at the time.
i had to wear bigger clothes from about 14 weeks on. but it wasnt really until about 18 weeks that it looked like a pg belly - iykwim. until then i think most people would have just thought that i had gained weight.
i think most people show a lot earlier in second and third pgs.

I noticed that some pants were tighter at about 9-10 weeks. At the end of the day I tend to have a pot but it's nothing really obvious.
As I put on so much weight (about 13kg per trimester) I think it took longer for me to actually 'show' and I had also gained heaps of extra fat on my waist. Probably after 20 weeks is when my bumb would have started to become more noticable to others...
My jeans were tighter basically straight away - I told Aaron we had to go on a diet the week before my BFP!
I had a bit of a bump at 10w, but it was noticeable to everyone at about 15/16w.
Have just started showing at 20 weeks. First time probably the same, however I got a job at 7 months without them guessing. But that's coz Im tall, the bubs sit towards my back.
I looked pregnant today, but that was after a big yum cha meal. People may have thought I'd just been extra greedy!! However, I have not been able to fit in my old clothes for about 10 weeks at least!!!
Not for ages!!!! I started wearing mat pants at around 16-17 weeks, but it wasn't until around 22 that people really started noticing. Every is different, but it's an anxious feeling when you want to look pg and don't.
I had a pot at about 14 weeks, I was still wearing normal clothes then, think I started wearing maternity clothes fulltime at about 18 weeks and starting showing at about 20 weeks.
The first time round with Jack, I didn't look pregnant for ages and ages. This time around, I have had a pot belly since the begining!
hi,
In my first pg i grew out of most clothes at about 18 weeks- mainly jeans and tighter fitting clothes. But i was not big even when i had my DS. I finished up at work at 35 weeks and people ( from neighbouring shops)were asking why i was leaving and couldn't believe i was having a baby soon. I realy only looked about 5-6 months as bubs was spread from hip to hip.
This pg i am starting to find my jeans are getting tighter already and so are my boobs. Where as i don't think they grew until i was about 15 or 16 weeks last time.
I think everyone shows at different rates and also depends on if you have had previos pg's.
Cheers kas :flower:
First baby I wasnt showing at all til about 18-20 weeks...it got earlier and earlier after that with me being noticably preggers this time round at 14 weeks.

I popped at about 12 weeks with both mine, except the one we lost I was still flat at 15 weeks I knew something was wrong from the start though, but I guess that was just another sign-weird hey!!

My tummy popped out on Friday just gone making me not look pregnant, but like a fatty who ate too much! My pants are no longer comfy so am in maternity pants already ~ normal skirts are okay though.
I think I was probably about 15 weeks before other people could really see it. About 20 weeks before strangers began commenting :lol:
With my first probably around 15 wks, with this one about 10wks, I started wearing maternity tops & pants!
Mmmm.... my clothes started to feel tight/restrictive on me around twelve weeks & I started showing to myself & DH around 16-19 weeks but realistically I was 24 weeks before anyone started to lok at me funny & ponder whether I was pregnant or not.
Around 20 weeks with my 1st pregnancy people at work were commenting. Although at 35wks i actually had to tell people i was pregnant with 5 weeks to go.
With my second pregnancy im noticing clothes are feeling tighter sooner. I dont know about the other girls but i dont worry about it, i think its a nice feeling - youve got the rest of your life to loose the weight ...just enjoy it !
To me, I started showing a little belly around 12wks; although I was so crook for 10 weeks I literally went from having an inverted flat stomach to having a little belly.
At about 15wks people at work suddenly started commenting that I had 'popped'; my chest definately got bigger too around that time.
I like wearing clothes around my waist so I moved into maternity skirts and pants around 12/13wks to be more comfortable. Generally random people in the public have started noticing now around 18/19wks. (Unfortunately not enough to stop rude people from elbowing past)
Same! I'm only six weeks here and my clothes feel tight! At this rate I'll be pulling my maternity stuff out in a matter of weeks :shock::
I wouldn't stress Flea.... prior to getting bad M/S I thought everything started to feel tighter straight away. You might find you feel 'fuller' but it's not noticeable to anyone else.:
In the early stages, by 12wks I had pudded up a bit, very fluidy. Then I lost weight and didnt show until 22wks or so. I am 5'11 tho so my ob said that I wouldnt show as much as smaller women.
There aint no mistaking the belly now tho!! hehehehe
I had to buy maternity pants really early around 8 weeks as i couldnt stand having any pressure on my belly but i didnt really start showing till i was 16 weeks, but i now look at photos of that period and realise i wasnt that big at all compared to later stages.
I wasnt showing until around 14 weeks, but people who didnt know me just thought i had ate to much which resulted in a poped out belly! LOL..
But it wasnt until 24 weeks, where people i didnt know accually had the guts to ask me when i was due! hehehe
I started showing about 16 weeks and I was also wearing all my maternity clothes by then. By the time I was 5 months pregnant I was quite big my SIL knew I was having a big baby and probably would need a c/s to get him out and she was correct.
I just popped out on Sunday, felt really fat - 10 weeks tomorrow and the pants are definitely getting tighter.
With Jules i was in maternity gear at 7 weeks. With this one i thought i could hide it longer cos i still hadn't lost much weight from Jules, but at 7 weeks, everyone that knew me started asking if was preggers cos i had popped out so much. Strangers didn't ask until recently but i think thats just cos i have such a young baby they think i might just still have the belly!lol. I didn't actually get that big (compared to others) with jules, it just grew really fast and then stopped around 30 weeks.
I started showing at about 7 weeks and all my clients at the hairsalon think im already 4-5 months iv really popped out and im only 8 weeks...
Do you think it is common to look bigger some days??
I'm 15 weeks and at the moment I think I look smaller than I did last week -but then again my eyes may just be playing tricks
It's kind of hard to tell....at the moment as I'm not an egg shape - more of a watermelon with boobs - besides before falling pregnant I would have considered myself "pleasantly plump" - however with severe morning sickness I have lost 6 kilos - so I'm not sure what to really expect??? - maybe I'll become that Super Model afterall.....(LOL) I'll settle for Super Mum first though
