Hi ladies when did you all start showing ...?
I'm in my second pregnancy now... and I'm 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow .... i feel like I'm starting to show already. With my first I didn't show for about 4/5 months. But this time round I feel like I can see a bump already. Am I imagining this or could it actually be possible ..??

I'm 15+4 and started getting a little bump now which is obvious to me. It's my first though. Apparently with second babies you do show earlier but I had terrible bloat at about 5/6 weeks.

I think at 5 weeks the foetus is only about the size of a sesame seed so it’s quite likely to be bloat rather than baby.
I didn’t really show until about 26 weeks and even then it depended on what I wore!

It will be bloating rather than a baby bump. I think with my 2nd I was around 16 weeks when you could tell I was pregnant. X

I was 14 weeks pregnant in July (sadly had MMC) but was showing from 10 weeks. Was quite bloated to begin with but once that went away an early bump popped out. Just got my BFP yesterday so hoping I won't show as early second time round but from what I hear it is common to show earlier.

Yes I was horrible bloated till about 9 weeks (someone saw a picture and asked if I was pregnant Blush), by 13 weeks I was struggling hide the bump under drapy clothes anymore, now I’m 19 weeks but about the same size as I was at 6 months last time!

Same here, had a very impressive bloat for a while which kind of disappeared for a week or two around 15 weeks. Now at 29 weeks I'm the size of a house. No hiding the bump at all.

With my 2nd I showed from about 8 weeks but it was still easy enough to hide in baggier tops til around 18 or 19 weeks. It's didn't get as big as fast iyswim
All the best with your pregnancy!

With my first I didn't start showing until around 18 weeks. With my second everyone noticed a bump at around 10 weeks. I am almost 8 weeks pregnant with my third and already showing. More than likely it is bloating but for me it has happened earlier and earlier with each pregnancy

Around 20 weeks with DC1

Definitely before 8 weeks with DC2 although it was bloat rather than baby ....
