Anyone starting to show?

[tryingfor1sttime815]

I just turned 11 weeks and the day before I did, I couldn't keep my pants buttoned.  Real wierd because I wore the same pants a couple of days ago and all was fine.  Now it seems like a got a little bump.  

Has anyone else started to show?  If so, when did you first notice?

Update:  I think I'm starting to show in just the last couple days though my belly hasn't quite "popped out" yet.  It depends on what I wear but I went ahead and bought a pair of maternity dress pants (for work) and jeans.  Had to go to Macy's for the dress pants since apparently they are hard to come by but found the jeans at a trendy second-hand store (still $16 for used jeans though).  I'll be posting another pic of my belly at 14 weeks so maybe you'll agree (or maybe you'll think it's just looking like I ate too much for lunch)!  Oh, and I am starting to get the linea negra (sp?) which I think is unattractive but gives me hope that it's a good, progressive pregnancy.  Good luck to you all!

With my first child i didnt show until i was like 18wks so reg clothes worked for me until then.  Howver i am now 17wks with baby#2 and i started to show at 9 wks!!  I  started to wear mat clothes around 10wks and boy does it feel so much better

ha ha, you said it!!!  Especially with hormones and baby making you want to pee, you need something loose fitting!

I really don't know why people wait so long sometimes, unless you are totally not showing and your close fit great why be uncomfortable??? bring on the pregnancy pants!!

I have given up and am wearing maternity clothes now. Way more comfortable! I'm 14 weeks tomorrow but started wearing them at 13 weeks. I think my clothes were feeling tight already by 9 or 10 weeks though!

forgot to say I'm 14wks now.

looked at a photo of my belly at around 9 weeks that my hubby took and looked at it in the mirror last night and it definitely has that 'look' about it.  Luckily I still fit in my work skirt, but have my maternity uniform on order.

I don't think I've started to show (I'm nearing the end of the 13th week/1st trimester) though my clothes fit my belly more tightly.  I have only one pair of nice workpants that I can wear and even those I have to leave one button undone.  :)  I didn't start out with a flat stomach though and it's my first pregnancy so maybe I am showing but since the shape of my stomach looks the same (but bigger).  I am having my husband take pictures every 2 weeks right now (I posted them on MedHelp) but so far when I look, I don't see a "baby belly."  Looking forward to when my belly pops out but I guess I'll relish not having to buy maternity clothes until then (probably a matter of a week or 2 at this point)!  Good luck everyone!

I am just 14 weeks today and i started to see a difference at about 10 weeks, granted it was mostly bloating but still there. Now i look pregnant for sure, i have only put on 1 pound so far but it looks like at least 10 :) this is my second pregnancy, the first time I was pregnant with twins so my uterus has been pretty stretched out!! they say everyone is different so if you are enjoy it as I would rather look pregnant than just fat!! i hate that stage.

Oh ladies!  With my first pregnancy I didn't show or wear maternity clothes till 18 weeks.  My 2nd was similar but this pregnancy I already look so pudgy and have a baby belly already!  I normally have quite a flat stomach and I am definitely showing already!  I'll be 12 weeks Wednesday and after my u/s on Friday we are telling the world because I am tired of trying to suck it in:)  I'm going to blame some of this on doing IVF and having still swollen ovaries and blame the rest on it being #3!

Im 11 weeks tomorrow.
I had to start wearing bigger pants at 7 weeks!
This is my4th pregnancy so thats probably why!
I think my tummy has been growing. I see it! Hubby does too.
I'm hiding it though! Not everyone knows just yet!
So as soon as everyone knows Out come the mat. clothes! Its going to have to be soon though lol!

Im just 13 weeks and i am showing, or so i think i am. All i know is none of my jeans fit and had to buy lounge type pants almost 2 weeks ago. This is also my 3rd full term pregnancy and they say you show sooner with each one. I do have a couple pictures up if you want to see what im talking about.

I'm barely 12 weeks and I believe or at least felt like I started showing a few days ago. My body just looks different and clothes look and feel different now. I'm not having to wear maternity clothes yet, but its just a matter of time. I'm thinking by the end of the month I'll have to buy some maternity clothing.

Some people have noticed and have asked, but that is only the people that I am really close too. I just looked like I've gained some weight. lol

[Bassey86]

I am slim but I have a bit of a 'pooch' naturally, so I find that those who have found out I'm pregnant have started to say 'ooo, you're starting to show' then I have to inform them that I'm like that normally!!  

I have found that since about 11/12wks my clothes have become tighter and my abdoman has a slightly different shape...but still not really noticable. I live in joggers when I can, and have just bought some maternity trousers (pants) so I can look a bit smarter, but still comfy!  Just waiting till it's a bit more obvious and everyone can see!!  

My hubby goes away with work for 3 weeks tomorrow, so he will definitely see a difference when he comes back.

My boss told us she was pregnant when she was 5 months, she was barely showing, no-one suspected anything!!
