When did you start to show in your first pregnancy?

[lori]

I should be so excited that the nausea has passed and I can stay awake past 7pm, but now I don't even feel pregnant, which is a bit discouraging since I've essentially been in first trimester since August (mc + this pregnancy). Now I'm 14 weeks and I'm getting so impatient! Of course one of the things I'm excited about is getting a baby bump, and it's a bit discouraging to see other people around the same stage who are starting to show already.

Here are my questions: When did you start to show in your FIRST pregnancy? When did it become noticeable to the people around you? What kind of body type did you have pre-pregnancy?

Thanks girls

i started showing i think officially at 15 weeks but my tummy popped out immediately (bloat) as soon as i got preggo.

*edit*
oh i didn't see the questions lol
i think people started to notice at about 17-20 weeks.
and i am very petite (4'11) and fairly thin to average for my height. (119-120 pre preg)

I think I noticed from pretty early on say 14/15 weeks that I looked a bit different but my bump wasn't really big enough to be noticeable to others until about 20 weeks - since then it's really taken off and I've 'popped' as a colleague said

I'm tallish (5'8) and average weight about a UK size 12/14.

my first pregnancy it was about 26 weeks, this time it was about 16-17 (when it properly popped, not just bloat )

 

[Ella_Mummy]

oops for got to add, i was size 8-10 1st pregnancy and a 10-12 this time round

I started showing at 14, mainly 15 weeks but it's not very noticeable to those who still don't know that I'm pregnant. I knew I was getting bigger when I couldn't wear my favourite pencil skirt anymore! However I don't know how long it will be until others will start to notice for definite.
I'm fairly tall (5ft 8) and a UK Size 10-12 (140lb pre-pregnancy) xx

We were just saying this morning we can't think when I got a bump as we both see me every day!!

I'm fairly small, 8/10 and even now at 23 weeks, don't have a huge bump and haven't put on any weight as such and I guess looking at the photos, it was probably about the 14 /15 week mark I can see a difference in my tummy

As far as others go, I was in my usual sandwich shop at lunch the other day and the lady only noticed as I was rubbing Missy so I guess she has became fairly obvious recently.

I noticed a bump almost straight away..around 10week's but that was mainly bloat, took more of a bump form around 13weeks.
Iv always had a bit off a belly on me tho, I was a size 16 and my height about 5ft8+
Only person that's mentioned my bump is my OH's dad last week..but he knew I was pregnant, haven't really seen anyone to talk to who doesn't know im expecting.

I'm nearly 17 weeks and still don't even have a bump I can see, never mind anyone else! n

Will definitely come back and update once the bump appears. It's so interesting to see how differently people's bumps develop!

 

[Lellow]

Probably only really in the last week or so and im now 20 weeks!

Mine has JUST started to look like a bump (literally overnight!!) and i'm 15 weeks + 2 days and wasnt thin pre-pregnancy at all!! 5'2" and 11 stone!! (UK size 14-16)

 

[venusrockstar]

I was about 15 weeks when I started to show...probably closer to 18-19 when others could notice/said something.

I was a size 12 US/Canadian sizes pre-preg.

 

[rainbows_x]

Only in the last week really to everyone else, but to me it was noticable at 16 weeks.

 

[Emzywemzy]

I've been bloated and unable to fit into my usual jeans since about 12 weeks, but it's only really this week that it's starting to look like a bump rather than fat. I had a bit of a belly on me anyway as I was a UK size 16/18 pre pregnancy x

 

[AnnaBanana9]

I started to show so that others noticed at about 17 weeks. I am tall and plus-size though, so might have showed earlier if I were slimmer.

Hope that helps.

[Joyzerelly]

I was 12 weeks when someone else noticed.

 

[Red Rose]

Bloated straight away (maybe overactive imagination ) but only really just started to get a little bump I can notice. Just seems to be filling out at the moment and I'm 14 weeks.

 

[mommy2bej]

I just started to show. (21 weeks)
I was a size 9US so I wasn't tiny but I wasn't very big

 

[MrsSandMonkey]

UK size 8-10(with a pair of size 12's in the cupboard for days of overindulgence) and about 5'8" tall. I ditched the size 8's around 9 weeks but that was largely down to Christmas and I've been exclusively in my size 12's for a month or two now. Over the last week or so I feel like I've got a belly on me and my husband reckons it's getting quite big but I was out shopping the other day and had to stop for a cuppa and a sit down as I was feeling knackered and some girl came up to me and told me I should give her my seat as she was pregnant... Great. Baby not even all that small according to scan - guess it would explain why I'm thinking of moving my desk into the loos at work for the next few months...

I started fairly early around 16 weeks, but I worked as a lifeguard/swim instructor, so I think it was easier for people to tell in a swimsuit. In clothing probably 18 weeks or so with my first, but strangely enough, with my second it was about 20 weeks, and now this one I am showing already (although no one comments quite yet). I guess each pregnancy varies. I hate showing though...you get the dumb questions, tummy rubs, and stares. LOL! But, I hate being the centre of attention. I have a friend who never looked pregnant EVER. Her sister is pregnant, a week ahead of me, and she is still buttoning up her jeans. Everyone is different hon, and as hard as it may be, try not to compare tummies.
