Just curious!! I'm 17 weeks and don't really have a bump yet, just a bloat, especially at night time.

When did you start showing?

I started a new job at 20 weeks and they still hadn’t realised, thanks to some selectively chosen non maternity clothes, when I told them at 23 weeks. I am normally a size 10.

Well over 20 weeks as I was such a skinny Minnie at 18!

I'm 19 weeks on Monday and I'm pretty sure I'm slimmer now than I was before I was pregnant 😂 hoping it will appear anytime soon!

About 26 weeks with my first.
About 6 weeks with my third Grin

About 28-30’weeks I looked properly pregnant. I had massive bump envy of other people as it took ages for mine to show.

My friend is a few days in front of me and she has the cutest bump ever! lol I’m jealous. Can’t wait to pop :)

just before by first scan. It was twins.

26 weeks (ish) both times, I stayed pretty small all the way through first time and he was a big baby.

Bump only noticeable from an angle at about 28 weeks, just looked bloated up to that point. Bump was very small and high up until delivery at 36 weeks. Pregnant with my fourth and look massive at 18 weeks.

I’m 11 weeks. It’s almost all fat and bloating, although I can feel the beginning of an actual bump coming. My stomach wasn’t flat before I got pregnant, but this is ridiculous. Feel like a bit of a fraud, but I’m not exactly leaving the house on a regular basis, so it’s not the end of the world!

25 weeks with DC1

Seven months. I was a bit disappointed because I FELT huge, none of my clothes were comfortable but it was tenderness in my abdomen rather than it getting bigger. I have an enormous rib cage and everything just squished up in there rather than growing outwards!

Gosh I was fully showing about 18 weeks - I was a 10/12 but just have a huge baby!

We waited to tell people about my pregnancy until after the 12 week scan. After being told multiple people admitted they thought they’d noticed a bump previously and had their suspicions. I popped out really early and measured ahead my whole pregnancy. By the end I looked like I’d shoved a football up my top! Currently pregnant with my second and at 5 weeks my belly is already bigger.

At 15 weeks I was having to be a bit selective about which trousers to wear, people who knew I was pregnant were commenting that I had no bump & those that didn't were asking if I'd lost weight as I'd gone up 2 cup sizes but, other than a slight thickening at the waist, hadn't changed shape. Went on holiday for a week and, pop, suddenly looked pregnant and was in maternity clothes from then on.
I was so desperate for my bump to show and used to ask DH every morning if I was showing. Didn't realised that 9 years later I'd be a stone lighter but still looking pregnant due to wrecked stomach muscles. I'd rather have the DC than a flat stomach actually, I'd rather have DC and a flat stomach
