When did you start showing with your first?

[littlelottielee]

Just that really? First time mummy to be curious to know when my bump will appear!

I started to show properly around 17 weeks. I'm 18+4 now and the last few weeks the bump has really started to pop. I'm sure some sort of bump had formed before then but I now look noticeably pregnant rather than just fat (I hope)!

First pregnancy- about four monthS
Second- about four minutes

I’m 5’1” and petite so neither of my 2 were easy to carry. I started showing at about 10 weeks with DS and 9 weeks with DD. Both times bumps were MASSIVE and babies were only 6lb 2oz and 6lb 12oz respectively 😂

Looks like 16-18 weeks is the norm!

@MillieMoon94 10 weeks with your first! Wow. Doc told me you can't show until after 12 weeks as your uterus is still in your pelvis. Maybe she's wrong eh!

I'm 6 weeks pregnant but have looked about 6 months pregnant for the last 10 years or so

Def around the four month mark I was noticeably pregnant rather than carrying a bit of a tummy.

@littlelottielee I know, it was ridiculous! 😂 Maybe I’m just the exception that proves the rule, as I say I am very small, I think I’m just not built for carrying babies 🙄

18/19 weeks. First tim round I remember being sooo desperate to show as for the first 18 weeks I actually just looked bloated and a bit out of shape!!!

12 weeks with first. 6 weeks with second. I do have a forward tilting uterus though!

I thought I was obvious from 11 weeks (was just minor bloating though) and then at around 18 weeks I was certain everyone must know I am pregnant but then it was whilst we were only holiday at 23 weeks that I suddenly just "popped" and everyone then knew I was pregnant, so many people came up and asked "ooo when you due" from that point. I kept a weekly photo diary though and when I look back at it now, I can see I clearly did not even look remotely pregnant or tubby until about 19/20 weeks.

I'm 14 weeks, 5'6" and am showing now, my tummy is quite firm but I'm v uncomfortable today so maybe its because of that!

My tummy started looking less like bloat from about 12 weeks.

I got a "woah someone's starting to show!" comment from my FIL on Saturday night so I'm guessing I do actually look pregnant now rather than just fat. Not sure if the comment was welcome though

I was about 12 weeks when I started to get a little round tummy which myself and close friends and family noticed and I think I looked more obviously pregnant at around 18 weeks ish :)

I started looking tubby in first trimester and like I'd put on weight... which I had! but didn't move into my pregnancy jeans until I was around 16 weeks, but that was more for comfort than need. However I definitely had bump by 20 weeks.

A primark sales lady called me over to jump the queue when I was only 12 weeks! Thankfully everyone I was with knew. I’m 30 weeks now and quite the bowling ball 🎳

Thanks for everyone's answers. I'm only coming up to 10 weeks do expecting not to have a bump for at least a couple of months!

@RLOU88 they let you skip the queue? How bizarre! Never heard of that before..

*so

Yeah Primark (and a few other places) let you skip the queue if you are pregnant or disabled!

I'm 25 weeks and only just started to show really and still not in a way that's crazy obvious just obvious to close friends and family that know really. Clothes have started feeling tight or not fitting from around 20 weeks

@TwittleBee it's a perk I suppose but don't think I would do it! I would be too embarrassed.

Thanks everyone for responses

20 something weeks but I can't exactly remember. No one at work noticed until I was 6 months.

I was about 24 weeks. Bump stayed really small. Had a section and one of the medical team said "what gestation is she?" I was overdue! Then proceeded to say I was tiny. My bruiser came out at just 7lb.

I'm tall and normally size 10. Don't know where he hid. Actually I do know, because my pelvis is fucked

And yes primark ushers you to the front of the queue when you're heavily pregnant whether you want to or not. Plus I used to get given a free coffee in Pret every single day!

I'm 5'2" and only just starting to look really pregnant at 24 weeks I just looked fat until now. Last week I was googling "when do you start looking pregnant rather than fat" repeatedly! This is my first.

yes, OP, although It was Xmas time and the queue was huge so maybe that’s why she searched me out. I was totally embarrassed I never knew this was a thing either.
