When did you start to show?

[christiankate]

When do you think, you started "looking" pregnant

 

[Linnis]

16-17 weeks if I wore tight clothing. If I wear really baggy shirts I can be mistaken as not being pregnant unless I walk. The waddle gives it away.

 

[~Nikki~]

About 30 weeks pregnant. Before that I just looked chubby, but getting towards 7 months my tummy actually started to take shape and look a bit pregnant.

 

[RooMama]

The next morning.
Seriously, though, I showed with my first at about 10 weeks and with my 2nd at about 6 weeks. I carry all out in front.

 

[Singin4Him]

I've really started showing these past couple weeks, I'm at week 16, almost 17 now. I am short so it has no where to go but out .

 

[sioleabha]

I don't remember with the last three, but with this one at about 6 weeks. I guess I never lost all the baby fat from the others.

 

[Leanna]

Oh man, they say you show sooner with the second, but I've just looked pudgy for this last month. So, really, no one can tell, but I can't button my pants. Last time it took my forever to show too, maybe 15-20 weeks, and I measured small all the way through.... so I guess I hide babies well. I'm looking forward to my tummy.

 

[GolfingMom]

I hid the first one for 5 months and the second closer to six months...

With this pregnancy, I started showing at 8 weeks, but I'm also having twins- what I would give to not be showing now; I'm so big that people think I'm going to pop,but I still have 10 weeks left (37 weeks is considered full term with twins)

 

[Krystina661]

I gained so much weight with my first right at the beginning that I don't remember when I actually started to show.

With this one I "thought" I started to show at 10 weeks and everyone thought I was crazy but for others to start noticing about 6 months...

Now at 8 months.. I feel HUGE!! Although people keep telling my I'm not that big..

Are people doing that annoying, "Haven't you had those babies yet?" thing? I hate that when I'm getting close, and I'm getting impatient and EVERYONE wants to remind me about it for like two MONTHS before my due date.

 

[shainamsu]

i just looked like i'd gained a little weight and the baby measured small until about five and a half months and then she suddenly gained all her weight and my stomach popped right out in a matter of a week or two. there were literally people who thought that i was wearing a prostethis or something b/c of how quick it was. hah!

yes they are and believe me, I know how you feel. I think everyone is going to be surprised at how big I'll be by the time they come- I'm going to have to buy tents soon since everything I have is starting to not fit around my stomach

 

[coljac]

with my first i had 7 weeks to go and i didnt show unless i was wearing very tight tops and standing to the side lol

with my second i was about 6-7 months

if you look at mycflink you will see me 8 months preggers going to a ball with dh

i was very lucky both times i wasnt big at all

When I Was 5 Months Prego

 

[lin1235]

When I was 16 weeks people started noticing without me saying anything. I'm 24 weeks now and pretty big, it's genetic (when my mom was 7 months pregnant with me strangers would stop her on the street to ask how many babies she was carrying...) But I like that I'm obviously pregnant!

 

[Cright]

I started showing to the point where I could tell (and my mom and sis) at about 16-18 weeks.

22-23 weeks when it became obvious to others at church or wherever.

 

[JulySheMustFly]

With my first I felt like I showed abound 3 months.
I showed around 6 months with my second but I had lost weight for the first 3 months so taht wasn't a surprise that it took longer to show.
Finally with my son I showed almost immediately after all it had only been 4 months since the last time I was pregnant so things were still really flexible.

 

[giddybiscuit]

I think I started showing around the end of the first trimester.

The reason why most people show sooner with their second is usually because of diastasis (separation of the abdominal wall). They say around 98% of pregnant women end up with diastasis to some degree (I have it, though it's not a huge separation) and it usually doesn't heal on its own; you can repair it with certain exercises.

I'm lazy and haven't done much about mine yet, 11 months postpartum. I probably never will, and I'll show at like six weeks next time. Ha ha.
