When did you start showing?

[Mumita]

I'm barely 8 weeks and I'm not showing yet, most of my clothes fit still.  I don't have a belly yet and I can still suck it in but I do have Porn-Star-bbs I am a regualr size 34-A  right now I'm almost 34-C. I'm pretty skinny and I thought that i'd be showing earlier.
Anyway American Pregnancy Association says that my uterus is about the size of a grapefruit now, really? how come I'm not showing if that is so?

Anyway, when did ya'll start showing?

[japanjohnson]

[hkenny]

i grew a cup size in the first 2 months! and i starting showing around 10 weeks to me and hubby and 13 to everyone else!

[Roz1977]

pregnancy  became noticable for me at around 5 - 6 months before that i just looked like i was gaining weight. im also small about 5ft tall.

I started wearing maternity pants at 15 weeks.  I bought maternity shirts over Christmas break (I'm a teacher).  I was ~20 weeks at that point.  When I returned to school in January wearing maternity shirts all of my students freaked out because they thought I had POPPED.  Maternity shirts just emphasize the belly!  :)  You'll get there.  You don't want to be too big too quick or it'll be a loooooooooooong 9 uncomfortable months!  ;)

I am really small too... 4'11 (AND a half!!  haha).... so I began showing around 12-15 weeks... somewhere around then.  I was about 17-18 weeks though when someone at work asked if I was pregnant.  

Your uterus has a ton of ligaments that hold it in... especially if you are a particularly fit person, your stomach muscles will hold your uterus up and back for a while.  8 weeks is pretty early still :)  I was soo anxious to begin showing, and I have to say... I am now in my 29th week and I am thinking "OMG... I can't wait to have my old body back already!"  hahaha... but, I got what I wished for and that was a big belly!

[Mea426]

I'm really small. I'm not even 5 foot and with my first baby I didn't show till like the 3rd month but with this one I'm almost 9 weeks and I have a little bit of a belly especially after I eat. Ugh! :)

I was extremely bloated at around 7 weeks and couldn't fit into any of my jeans, so I bought some maternity pants (and never looked back).  But I started to obviously look pregnant at around 18-19 weeks.  Before that I just looked like I had gained some weight.  But at around 20 weeks I had neighbors and other people asking me if I was pregnant, so that's why I really know it was noticable.  I'm now 31 weeks and there's nooooo denying it!  

[Suzie0224]

I am wearing what I call my fat pants.  I put away about 3 pairs of my slim fitting jeans a couple weeks ago.  I am 12 weeks today.  My belly has been poochy for quite a while since I am on progesterone supplements.  I can tell when I lay down that there is a hard grapefruit just above my pelvic bone.  I am actually excited to get into maternity myself....

[Mumita]

Today pants that fit fine a week ago are kinda tight on the button area.  But I think I'm just bloated.

[Griggsy]

I am 22 weeks and FEEL huge. Everyone says that if I'm wearing a jacket or sweatshirt that I don't look pregnant at all. A friend I hadn't seen in a while obviously didn't know I was pregnant. When I took off my sweatshirt he looked at me and said "Dang Gina!, what happened to you!"  

My belly is certainly out there, and growing! I started showing noticably at 14 weeks.

[Super_sally888]

This is my first.  I wasn't slim to begin with, but I didn't really start to show until about 20 - 24 weeks.  Now am just past 32 weeks and how pregnant I look depends on what I'm wearing - I do have a belly, but it kind of looks fat rather than pregnant.  I've even had people commenting that I've gained weight and then being shocked when I told them that I'm actually pregnant.

My tummy is kind of round but is not really sticking out in a pregnant kind of way.

Interesting, my Obe last monday commented that when i'm lying down my tummy is still more or less flat (well, a rounded kind of flat) and just spread out.  She said she's noticed that girl babies tend to lie flatter than boy babies who tend to make their mummies tummies stick way out.

Guess we're all different.

[clairelou88]

i wouldnt say im showing much, i can easily hide it thats for sure and i still fit in my normal clothes, i suppose it also depends on how you uterous is, if it tilts up you usually start showing earlier from what ive read.

[honeybear56]

I didnt really start showing till i was about 18 weeks or so. My tummy was pretty much the same for a really long time. I was worried that she wasnt growing. But now my tumy gets bigger and bigger as the weeks go by, i didnt even by maternity clothes till i was about 27 weeks when my pants would not fit. And now i am 34 weeks and my tummy is so noticable..and may i say cute...LOL. You'll start growing your little baby bump soon.

[FirstCub4Bear]

I'm 12 weeks 1 day and am not showing. BBs are fuller, etc. but belly is about the same. This is my first - so Im not expecting real showing for a little while longer. Pants are getting a little snug though! Ha Ha.

[sweetangel7]

I didn't need to buy maternity clothes until 16w...and around week 14 I REALLY couldn't button my pants so I had to buy some of those bella bands which kept my in my clothes until week 16...I didn't really start to 'show' like a pregnant lady until very recently, like week 20.  I had a flat stomach and have spent a lifetime to get it that way so I am convinced that my abdominal muscles were very strong and didn't stretch too easily.  Now, I'm 22 weeks and everyone at work tells me I'm either on the small side or that I look great and carry it really well.  I had a tiny waist before and that was the first thing to go/change...I lost the waist and then got the belly.  I had always imagined getting much bigger much faster...It will happen sooner or later.  

[jennymay]

I was already a little on the chunky side, at least in the belly area, and I wasn't noticably pregnant until right around 20 weeks. I did have to start wearing maternity pants or at least my regular pants unbuttoned before that because I was bloated all the time, but I really popped right around 20

[Jame0223]

My cousin is just over 7 weeks with her second child and she's popping out of her pants already...She doesn't have a bump or anything but she has gotten bigger, not noticeable though. I'm not sure about her first though.

[kelliestarr]

I didn't start showing until I was 20 weeks and even then I could still hide it hehehe.

[Mumita]

Well that's good, I don't have to buy maternity clothes yet! :)
I just thought that I'd have a little belly by now but I guess I wont for a little while longer.

[Avanaar]

Truthfully, I didn't feel like I looked pregnant till 5 or 6 months along ...up to that point it just looked like I had gained weight and had a tummy from that, not from being pregnant!

I still don't feel like my belly "fits" how far along I am.  I'm 9 months and, when looking at other pregnant womens' belly pictures or seeing them in the doctor's office, I think I'm so small!

[roke]

Well I am 7 weeks and I have not noticed much for changes.  I have lost a bit of weight but have no other physical symptoms - boobs are still the same and everything.  My mom said she didn't start showing until she was 5 months..... I hope that happens with me!!!

[GRose]

With my first I popped out at 12 weeks and with this one I am showing already. I know what you mean about the porn star boobs I am busting out of my bras, with Noah I got up to 38DDD.

[justice6920]

With my first I swear i didnt start showing until I was like 22 weeks, i just popped out one night..... I was pretty tall and thin..... But with this second one I was showing around 11 weeks or so
