When did you start showing?

[OrangeTree]

When did your baby bump first become noticeable? 

[rbp]

I"m getting fat now. LOL. So I think I'll be showing before long.

[gretchenindisguise]

With my first at 19-20 weeks to people who knew me.

[chickadee77]

I just popped at around 21 weeks. I told my coworkers around 19/20 weeks, and everyone thought I was newly pregnant, lol.

ETA to people who don't know me, it's probably not that noticable yet.

[Deleted]

16-17 weeks with my first. 14-15 weeks this time.

[ringstrue]

First - 16ish weeks?

This time- 8-10 weeks

[OrangeTree]

Oh, wow! I thought it would happen earlier than that.

[statlerwaldorf]

15 weeks with my first and maybe 12 weeks with this one. I had to move to maternity pants a little sooner, but that is when I started looking more round.

[chicago]

I noticed it around 16 weeks, but most people didn't know around 21-22. It wasn't noticeable for a while - I was able to get by with pre-pg clothes for a long time.

[catsarecute]

I'd say I had something more then just my normal stomach fat at about 20 weeks. But I wasn't getting comments from anyone at that point. That took a lot longer!

[narockshard]

I thought I had a little bump around 15 weeks, but that was with tighter clothes. It became pretty obvious around 20.

[mannah]

I could def see a bump around 15-16 weeks in tight/fitted clothes but still easily hidden under loose/baggy clothes until around 20 weeks-ish.

[pinotgrig]

Noticeable to me - 12w
Noticeable to those close to me - about 16w
Noticeable to the general public - about 22w

[robinsbff]

i still don't think i am. i was about 20 pounds overweight going into pregnancy, lost about 12 pounds in the first trimester and am still weighing in below where i started. my stomach is getting rounder, but i was already wearing loose/flowy tops thanks to my previously mentioned surplus of 20 pounds. i have yet to wear any maternity clothes. my pants are just starting to get tight in the waist but the legs are pretty baggy because of the weight loss.

[FastHands]

Roughly 6 months prior to becoming pregnant.

[SJ]

Started wearing maternity pants at 16w.

Now at 20w it is very noticeable to me, and if I push out my stomach I have a definite bump.

However, no one has yet to comment on it and in fact people keep saying that I'm "not showing yet" which I don't think is true at all.

[ngdgtco]

I feel like I am now, and I'm just wondering when I tell work next week if some people are going to have suspected. I probably just look like I've fattened up though, I don't think it's really a "bump."

[gretchenindisguise]

Because I'm a huge dork - I took weekly pics.

18w:


19w:


21w:

eta: this is with my first, obviously

[kermit]

I had bloat for awhile but it's just now getting noticeable. Like someone else said, in tight clothes it's pretty obvious but in baggy clothes I just look fat. People who don't know what I normally look like might think I'm just fat in tight clothes too. I told a coworker a few days ago and she hadn't suspected so I guess I got pretty good at hiding it.

[dana2006]

11-12 weeks. People at work started to whisper behind my back. At 13 weeks one colleague flat out asked me.

[starlily]

First time, around 20 weeks. It showed up overnight.

This time? Like three seconds after I peed on the stick.

I'm a big dork too--I even made signs to hold each week numbered with what week it is. Yep.

[VillainV]

I popped at about 17-18 weeks. I probably could have hidden it for longer, but in maternity clothes I definitely looked pregnant:-)

Ok, so I'm not the only one? I didn't really have bloat with my first, but this time - omg - it's crazy! And I already have that weird bowling ball feeling when I lean over to get stuff - especially at night. 

[loira]

I'm 13w and already have a small bump. It's noticeable to people who know I'm pregnant, since I'm reasonably slim and have never gained weight on my stomach before, but probably not noticeable to strangers. I feel like I started showing quite early, even though this is my first. Maybe it's because I'm only 5'3'' with a short waist, and also perhaps because the surgery I had back in August inflated my abdomen so the muscles had already been stretched.

[browneyedgirl9]

17-18 weeks.

[blushing]

I got my first strangers comment at 14 weeks last time. I showed early.

This time, while my clothes are getting tighter and at 9 weeks maternity clothes are more comfortable than real clothes, I think it is going to take a lot longer to show. I am carrying a lot of extra weight this time so its just going to look like I am getting fatter. From what I have heard most really overweight women only get a bump around 30 weeks, and then sometimes it is B shaped instead of D shaped. I really hope mine is D shaped.

[andthentherewere10]

One of high schoolers, who look at me way too much on a daily basis, asked me if I was pregnant when I was 7 weeks. I had a lot of bloat and was thin to begin with. That went away and they didn't confront me again until I was 10 weeks.

A stranger asked me when I was 20 weeks if I was pregnant.

At about 21 weeks I started wearing maternity shirts which I think make you look more pregnant anyway. (cinches, ties, ruching)

[bowies]

Depends on your definition of showing. I can still convincingly dress like I'm not PG since I'm carrying so low. On Tuesday I dressed in full-on maternity to emphasize my midsection and yesterday I wore mostly normal clothes and you would never have known.

With the right clothing, I can kind of fake a belly, but in my estimation, I haven't really "popped" yet. I just have jelly belly. I keep hoping my ute finally starts migrating north so I can have a real bump. I'm 20w and this is my first.

[bananapancakes]

I told work at 18 weeks as I felt like it was starting to get noticeable and someone was going to call me out soon. My boss said that she was starting to wonder.
