I turn 8 weeks tomorrow and in the last 5 days I've developed a real tummy - my jeans are getting so uncomfy! Surely I can't go into maternity clothes yet?!!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Pre-12ish weeks it's always bloating. I had awful bloating in my first trimester with DC3. Got by on long tops and elasticated waistbands until I actually got a proper bump at about 16ish weeks.

6 weeks with dc3, it looked like a proper bump, stood up anyway :)

Iwillorderthefood · 19/01/2014 16:47

About 12 weeks

BrennanHasAMangina · 19/01/2014 16:48

About two weeks post-conception. My mother guessed immediately. Don't neglect the abs!

I had to wear maternity trousers by 9 weeks with DC3 as my stomach just blew up straight away and nothing else fitted!

I think that's it - it is all bloating but it's just looks like I'm pregnant and I want to keep it under wraps for now!

About 15/16 weeks.

So early, it wa ridiculous, I work with loads of midwives and they all predicted twins! I don't think I bloat, was very strange, I sort of caught up with myself eventually.

On my third I didn't find out till I was 28weeks so it would've been after that.i do carry small though

ImBrian · 20/01/2014 23:06

I'd built my stomach muscles back up so it was about 18ish weeks. Number 4 though they didnt stand a chance and I had a bulge by before 12.

DramaAlpaca · 20/01/2014 23:07

Really early as far as I can remember. There was no hiding it.

woodhj · 21/01/2014 13:27

Im 13 weeks and not in maternity clothes yet. Im bloated by the end of the day but in the morning only the obvious rising bump at the base of stomach.
I was massive with first two, 9lb 2oz babies and im sure I was bigger than this at 13 weeks. Shouldn't knock it tho, im not looking forward to waddling around work

With DS I started wearing maternity clothes at 24 weeks. With DD1 it was 16 weeks. DD2 was 15 weeks.

Having said that my mother delighted in telling me how enormous I was! The truth was that with the first 2 I felt sick if I over-ate so I lost half a stone in the first 3 months, with DD2 I had morning sickness for the first time, helped only by eating every 3 hours hungry or not, so I put on half a stone in the first trimester.
