i started showing at 12 weeks.. this is my first i was tiny thou so every bit of weight on me is noticable

Gosh you could tell I was pregnant at 8 weeks! I'm not sure why that is, I've only gained like 6 lbs total my whole pregnancy. I just showed early. But random people on the street didn't really noticed my bump til just now at 18 weeks. They pass by, look at my tummy and go "aww" lol

I was tiny pre-pregnancy. People at my work (didnt know I was pregnant till this week) said I started showing around 19-20 weeks. I just kind of "popped" apparently. From then its just getting bigger. I'm not excited about getting bigger, I wish I could go back to early 2nd trimester.

I think everyone notices themselves that they "look pregnant" before 18 weeks but I think 18 weeks is the normal time for people who you haven't told to start guessing. Then after 24 weeks for everyone to know for sure.

I started to show at around 12ish weeks (NOT bloat) I have since found out that my uterus sits high in my body compared to most women and that it why I "popped" above my pubic bone earlier than normal.

People who knew me started to notice at around 12-14 weeks as I was losing weight all over my body and my "bump" became quite prominent.

As far as my "body before baby" I was above the top of my weight range for height but carried it well in a size 12/14 Canadian ( a little extra pudge but not fat, iykwim)

i had a proper bump at 24 weeks with my son... but this time it was fro about 14 weeks. i look around 35 weeks at the moment

 

[MrsP]

I think proper bump, about 17 weeks before you could really see I was pregnant and now just putting on the lbs!

I'm flat as a pancake (stomach wise!) at 14 1/2 weeks apart from at night if i eat a heavy meal i look bloated, but its flat again in the morning. I am a size 10 - 12 uk and its my first preg. I'm 5'6 so medium height/slim build.

Roll on a bump

Great post. I'm still waiting for my bump. Have a wedding to go to when I am @ 17 weeks and I was hoping that I will show. I already have a bit of a belly so I was hoping to blame the belly on the baby. LOL.

I started to show in week 17 but unless I was wearing tight fitting clothes it was easily hidden from other's. Not everyone recognises that I'm pregnant even now. I'm 5f6 and was a 10-12 pre-pregnancy.

my mum thought i was showing at about 14 weeks as did my best friend, but i must be showing properly now because i have been getting some funny looks off people as though they are trying to tell whether i am or not, and a stranger did ask me yesterday if i was pregnant.

Hi, I started to show at about 13 weeks and now at 19 + 3 I have a proper big bump - I think I'm expecting an elephant ;-) I'm not very tall, about 5ft 3 and was 11 stone pre-pregnancy - don't know whether this has anything to do with showing quite early? My sister, three years younger than me at 30, is just about to haver her second and with both her pregnancies she's started showing quite late and she's 5ft 6 and about 9.5 stone pre-pregnancy. Just as well I love her or I'd hate her lol. not sure about when people really started to notice - the other week on the traini to work a lady told me that she would have offered me her seat earlier if she'd realisedf I was pregnant, but she thought I was just fat! I felt a bit silly when that made me cry!

I still cant really answer this. Im 23 weeks today & although i've definately put on weight & definately getting bigger, i still wouldn't say im 'showing'. I dont think its obvious to the outside world that im pregnant

 

[Saywhat]

I'm 22 weeks on fri and have started showing slightly, still not noticable to the outside world as my work haven't guessed. I think my bump is gonna be large late which is no bad thing really.. i think i have been impatient for so long but now i'm the opposite. I'm quite happy to avoid the stretchmarks for a bit longer :O)

I had a bump at 12 weeks x

 

[a_c]

I'm 17+3 and i can easily pass for just a little chubby. What a pain - I want a proper bump!

 

[Mrs Liamxxs]

im olny 17+3 weeks with my 3rd and i have been showing for about 4 weeks, with my firt i strted showing at about 12 weeks and my secong was 19 weeks xx

 

[stardust599]

i'm teeny - 5ft2 and a (UK) size 6.
i'm 15 weeks almost and not showing anything obvious - my tummy has definately changed and become sort of round and bloated but if i put jeans and a t-shirt on it disappears!!

if i wear a pear of light jogging bottoms and a vest i can see it in the mirror but i've never had anyone guess yet!
