About 5 months......you have a wee way to go yet. But about 5 weeks with number 2!

LorryHen · 28/05/2015 16:29

I've suddenly got massive at 19 weeks Confused

lauraa4 · 28/05/2015 16:30

I started showing fairly early. I think around 16/17 weeks.

When I had my 20 week scan she did say he has lots of fluid round him though which is why my bump probably looks quite big! :)

UpNorth74 · 28/05/2015 16:30

I'm only 16 weeks and have had a firm little bump for about 3 weeks (It seems to grow by the day at the moment as well.) - although not noticeable to anyone else when I'm fully clothed! I'm just a little paranoid about looking like I've let myself go a bit!

I was bloated from about week 9, but when the little bump appears, its unmistakable ... it'll be with you soon enough!

Skeppers · 28/05/2015 16:55

Yep- was around 5-6 months, but I'm a fatty so just looked slightly fatter up until then! Relieved that I now have a proper bump (30 wks) and actually look properly pregnant, so I can just let it all hang out.

bunny85 · 28/05/2015 16:59

Thanks everyone, hopefully not long to go!

Skeppers you made me laugh Grin I let it all hang out and don't care! I like to think the more it hangs out the more pregnant I look! Haha. So I'm sticking out whatever there is, bloat or not!

I'm 16w, and this week I've gained a small bump. I started looking fat at 11 weeks Smile .

Foggymist · 28/05/2015 18:24

I was about 28 weeks before I got any bit of a bump, I was 34 weeks when someone I didn't know noticed and I had him at 37 weeks so didn't look pregnant for long!

Roseybee10 · 28/05/2015 19:05

14/15 weeks worth 1st
21-22 weeks with 2nd

wispywoo1 · 28/05/2015 19:29

I'm 15+3 and I feel like I've had a bump for about 5 weeks.

I was a size 8 and can still fit into size 8/10 pants so it can't be as big as I think it is. You can't really tell when I'm dressed but if I've got loose clothes you can really tell when I pull them in if that makes sense?

I'm always looking on Instagram to compare bumps to see if mines too big/small Blush

BowiesJumper · 28/05/2015 20:03

I'm 17+3 with my first and no bump yet!
I'm a size 12 but already had a bit of a pot belly so he/she has room to hide! Belly is firming up a bit though!

sianihedgehog · 28/05/2015 20:24

About 19 or 20 weeks, but it wasn't obvious enough that anyone spontaneously commented on it until I was about 24 weeks.

abbiebunn · 28/05/2015 20:29

8 weeks! I seem to be huge from the start lol

HawkeyeInChaos · 28/05/2015 20:35

About 25 weeks with the first (I went on holiday at 21 weeks and even in a swimsuit no one noticed)
Much earlier with number 2.

Runningupthathill82 · 28/05/2015 21:06

With DS, my belly started sticking out a bit at 12 weeks, but I just looked a bit bloated really.
I was in maternity jeans at 15 weeks.

bunny85 · 28/05/2015 21:10

Wow, bumps really seem to come at very different times... I wonder what it depends on? Thank you girls, really interesting to hear your experiences!

I got my first seat on the tube at 13 weeks. By 16 weeks people were asking if it was twins, did I have diabetes etc.

dd was 7lb 3oz Blush

Devora · 28/05/2015 21:12

Well, in my case i think it was because my stomach muscles are crap, and when I got pregnant I took off the Spanx Grin

sianihedgehog · 28/05/2015 21:37

I think I showed fairly late because I had really good stomach muscles (I could feel them separate at about 16 weeks and it was horrible), but I look INSANELY BIG now because I'm very very short and there's nowhere for it to go but out front.

HawkeyeInChaos · 28/05/2015 21:46

Well, for dc1 I had pretty good stomach muscles (lots of exercise including lots of sit ups). For dc2 my stomach muscles had long since packed their bags and left.

HelenF350 · 28/05/2015 21:55

15-16 weeks i just expanded. All of a sudden I was massive! I used to be quite overweight though so I think my skin stretched easier than most people's. If I'd tried to hide it till 20 weeks i'd have had no chance! Grin

BabyOnBoob · 28/05/2015 21:58

15 weeks. Ah I miss those pregnancy days

bunny85 · 28/05/2015 23:10

Ohh these stories of showing at 15 weeks make me sooo excited! The bump just can't come soon enough Smile
