Hi. I'm only a little bit pregnant but already I feel like my tummy is enormous! I think it must be bloating as it does seem to settle down a bit after I've eaten.

It got me wondering when (if all goes well...) I might start to look PG rather than just a bit chubby! I'm guessing second trimester, as I had a MC last year at 13 weeks and I didn't have a bump then?

When did you all start to show?

I started to show at about 13 weeks that me and DP could see. Other people started noticing about 16/17 weeks.

Sorry about your loss last year and congratulations on your pregnancy :)

sorry for your loss and how lovely to be pregnant again.

about 18 weeks that I and DH could see, maybe about 24 weeks for others to notice, though some people didn't spot my bump at 36 weeks when I went on maternity leave. I'm fairly petite though not tiny. Bump was small though and I wore some baggy things.

Hiya

I started showing around Christmas time, which put me at 25 weeks.

It was funny returning to work with a bump after the break - until the mince pie jokes started to wear thin. Smile

At 12 weeks DP and I noticed I had a bump in the evenings, by 16 weeks it was noticeable to everyone else but only if they knew I was pregnant, if that makes any sense.

By about 18-20 weeks I could notice a tiny bump and the change in the fit of my clothes, other people started commenting about 24-25 weeks. This is my third, and I think the first two were similar.

Congratulations on your pregnancy - sorry to hear about your loss.

I was very bloated for the first tri - not just tummy but everywhere, I looked quite the chubster! I think it was water retention as by about 16 weeks I was looking my old self again, with a very mini bump. Proper bump (visible to others apart from me and DH and requiring maternity jeans) appeared after about 20 weeks or so.
