How far along were you when strangers started making comments about your pregnancy?

I'm thinner this time and have been showing since 8 weeks, no joke. I'm obviously pregnant. But I've still been shocked at how many complete strangers have asked if I'm pregnant this time. What if I wasn't? With my DD I was a lot heavier to start, and nobody said anything until after 32 weeks. Even then it was rare.

I personally feel uncomfortable when strangers start chatting with me about it. Same questions over and over and they often keep talking for way too long. I like to be polite and I know they mean well, I'm just shy and it's awkward. At least no strangers have touched my bump!

Only this past week! It's really started to pop out and become more round and more obvious that it's not just fat It'll come soon for you I bet, next few weeks!

25 weeks and I just popped. Literally overnight. I got my first question this week.

I'm 23 weeks now and I feel like my bump has doubled in size. I know people are noticing but have not said anything because they're afraid to offend me. If anyone does ask, I will jokingly say I'm not pregnant just to see their reaction. That would be great!

I'm 16 weeks and still getting the 'is she pregnant or did she have pie, chips, pudding and five pints of beer for lunch?' looks! Looking forward to having a proper bump!!!

I was well into my third trimester with the other two before getting comments. Even then it was rare, I think I got even less on #2, maybe when they saw me with #1 they weren't sure if I just hadn't lost the baby weight yet!

Now I'm 16 weeks and can easily hide it but look very pregnant if I wear maternity clothes. Oh, also at night I look 10x more pregnant than in the morning, lol. But no comments and I don't expect any for a while.

I wore a maternity loose top and leggings yesterday for a party and no one even asked! I feel a bit disappointed as we were prepared to answer honestly if someone would notice. Oh well, I guess we have to wait a few more weeks. I have to add that we tried for a while and people knew about it, so it might be a reason why they are so cautious with their questions.

I'm hugely pregnant now, and I'm still getting offered alcohol samples at the supermarket. Tempted to start waddling over to accept them just to see what happens!

I'm just starting to get questions from people who know me from playgroups etc. I do tend to wear big snuggly jumpers though so it's not very obvious. I bumped into a HV on Thursday and she was giving me a funny look until I told her yes I am cooking number 2.
