As title says! I’m 15 weeks tomorrow with number 3! I’m still in my normal clothes, 3lb weight gain, no symptoms. I was hoping it being number 3 I’d show sooner! Xx

I was 24 weeks (but with my first). I'm 25 now and sort of exploded almost overnight. I genuinely went from looking not pregnant at all to definitely pregnant in the space of 2 days.

I've only just started wearing maternity clothes - I've put on 0.5lb so far, but I did loose a bit at the beginning due to sickness and an increase in certain medication.

Baby is measuring fine though and constantly kicking me.

For what it's worth - I was desperate to start showing, but now I am I'm just so achey and uncomfortable already I wish I wasn't so eager for a bump Hahaha!

I was honestly about 30 weeks before it was noticeable. I was back in my normal clothes 3 days post partum. If anyone would of
Told me I would be back in my clothes so soon, before I was pregnant I would never have believed it. Everyone's different.

Around 20 weeks the bump started popping, but by around 24-25 was very noticeable (I'm 26 weeks now).

Angelinthenightx · 16/07/2019 19:22

15wks but i do show fast and im on baby no.6 so do show faster x

Starlight84 · 16/07/2019 19:25

It’s nice to hear how everyone varies. I’ve eaten dreadful these past 2 weeks (work in a preschool and parents bring choc, cakes, biscuits 🤣) that hasn’t helped the gain!

No one at my work knows! I’ll be 21 weeks when I go back so I’m wondering if they will think what on earth 🤣🤣

I thought I looked pregnant from 10 weeks but with hindsight it was just bloat!
Photo evidence suggests showing around 17/18 weeks

Jmcd2020 · 16/07/2019 20:50

I’m 27 weeks and people only guessed this week, more so because I was wearing a fitted top. They are shocked at how small my bump is compared to most at six months!

melissa1215 · 16/07/2019 20:54

26 weeks, I'm 28 weeks now and allllll bump (first baby)

Starlight84 · 16/07/2019 21:20

@Jmcd2020 oh wow!! I really am worrying over nothing I think!

@melissa1215 that’s so cute! I just gain weight all over and don’t look cute at all 😂😂

I'm 16 weeks on Thursday with baby number 6 and I'm already showing and my bump is quite big already

QuokkaBear · 16/07/2019 21:39

I realised it’s a lot less noticeable to other people than yourself! I thought I was huge by 16-18 weeks but looking back on photos I realised people could easily miss it unless they knew I was pregnant. Though by 24 weeks there was no mistaking it anymore!

Benjispruce · 16/07/2019 21:43

20wks with first. Earlier with second, I guess my muscles weren’t as tight.

hopefulhalf · 17/07/2019 05:38

Like others mid-twenties (which is when you have to tell work).

whatswithtodaytoday · 17/07/2019 05:43

21 weeks. I told work at 20 and everyone commented on how they hadn't noticed, it didn't show etc. The next week there was no hiding it!

NavyBerry · 17/07/2019 06:07

I could tell even before my period arrived. Terribly bloated and my breasts were so sore. It didn't get better until I gave birth.

bellinisurge · 17/07/2019 06:10

7 weeks - because I was hospitalised with hyperemesis.

lljkk · 17/07/2019 06:12

5-6 when I started puking.

Starlight84 · 17/07/2019 06:27

Only my boss knows due to needing time off for appointments but everyone else will be in for a shock when I go back if I have a bump by then! Xx

20 weeks when the bump started revealing itself but 26 weeks when it was really noticeable

aliensprig · 17/07/2019 08:39

@Starlight84 honestly you're not alone, I'm 16 weeks and don't look/feel pregnant at all now - just fatter and 100% more tired!! I think if people at work didn't already know they'd think I've just been eating all the office snacks, which I have 🙈😂

Starlight84 · 17/07/2019 08:53

@aliensprig I really don’t know how no ones questioned me! I’m possibly one of the healthiest eating at work! Yet I’ve eaten the worse lately! I used to turn all the bad stuff down now I’m the first to say is there any cake left 😂😂😂😂

I started showing early and now at 16 weeks think I look definitely pregnant although can still hide it in baggy clothes until the wind blows lol (although people who didn't know me before might just think I carried weight on my stomach).

I was surprised how early I showed because this is my first baby.
