Just as the title says really! I'm only 7+2 but just so bloated I look quite pregnant! I'm a size 14-16 anyway so not a small girl, but wondering when I can let it all hang out and blame baby bump 😂 I know we show earlier in subsequent pregnancies so tell me your stories on when your 3rd (or 2nd or 4th etc) bump showed!

28 weeks with my first.
16 weeks ish with my second.
About 5 weeks with my third Grin

(I’m 38 weeks now and I have a ‘normal’ sized bump)

I was really bloated in my first pregnancy, so 'looked' pregnant at about 8 weeks, but a few big farts and it was gone by 12 weeks! I then remained in normal jeans until 26 weeks, though had a small bump around 16 weeks when naked.

This time, I barely looked pregnant at 26 weeks and was in normal jeans until 28 weeks when I suddenly seemed to pop. I had a barely noticeable bump when naked from about 18 weeks.

Definitely smaller 2nd time. Though starting to feel it now at 32 weeks.

15-16 weeks with all three of my pregnancies. And I make massive babies as well, so despite my big bumps I don't think I show that early.

Hmm. Still a while to wait before I can get away with it then 😂 I'm so bloated it's unreal. A few farts might help, actually 😂

I’m 17 weeks with my 4th and have looked pregnant since 12 weeks.

I was still carrying extra weight from my third though so wasn’t flat before.

My third I didn’t look visibly pregnant until about 22/23 weeks

chloechloe · 11/12/2018 16:19

With all 3 of mine I didn’t announce my pregnancy at work until 24w and only looked pregnant from 28w. I do carry very small though and never looked more than 6 months gone. My third bump was the biggest though (first boy!)

20 weeks
The day after my 20 week scan I popped. It was crazy as if I was holding it in.
People wouldn't have guessed for a long time after that though. Sorry not what you want to hear

Haha it's ok. I can't remember with my second, but I was much slimmer when I fell pg with my first and didn't show til around 20ish weeks. I feel like it was around the 15 weeks mark with number 2. Sod it I'm embracing the bulge from 12 weeks 😂

I'm also going to embrace from 12 weeks, Whish (fifth baby)!

kpeanut94 · 11/12/2018 18:22

This is my 3rd pregnancy also and I started showing from 7 weeks.😂 started as a bloat and I'm now 16 weeks and feel rather big, I'm usually a size 6 so I'm constantly wearing leggings.😩 this is the biggest I've been so early on, with my first two I barely shown until about 25 weeks!

ReginaPhalange89 · 11/12/2018 18:34

I'm 7+1 with #3 and feel so bloated too ! I was also wondering when I can blame the baby haha ! The first 'bump photo' I have from last time is 14 weeks and it was a pretty decent size so I'd say it'll be before then ! I'm gonna wear loose clothing til after 12 week scan anyway, and then I'm all about the tight stretchy tops 😂 love having a bump

Coco224 · 11/12/2018 19:43

I’m 24 weeks with number 3 and don’t look particularly pregnant, definitely not obvious unless you knew I was!

Coco224 · 11/12/2018 19:44

24 weeks baby 3

3rd baby, when did you show?
MakeAWhish · 11/12/2018 20:12

@kpeanut94 what a lovely bump! I'd be thrilled to have that by 16 weeks. @ReginaPhalange89 I love having a bump too!
@Coco224 I think you can see a hint of a lovely bump, but not glaringly obvious I guess. Probably would be if you wore a tighter top I'm guessing? You look great. Loving the bump pics!
