How much did you gain first trimester and when did you start showing (with first baby)?

[SunStruck]

Yes just that really! Curious at what I can expect as I intend to hide it as long as possible at work?

Gained nothing first trimester and started showing about 16 weeks, but even at six months I think I just looked fat. It wasnt until over seven months that it was on obvious there was a baby in there (and he was born just over 8 months weighing over 10lbs).
You could probably hide it until five months depending on your height and body shape. If you are on the larger side even longer.

Gained nothing in 1st trimester and started showing around 22 weeks

Thanks so much ladies!

Maybe it helps to say size when I got pregnant (if I want to compare better to myself), I'm a size 10. Does it take longer to show when your smaller or larger?

Sorry and height - 5'7 😄

I gained nothing in the first trimester and started showing at 12 weeks. I was pretty small, size 8 and 5' 2".

I got really bloated in the first trimester with my first baby, don't think I properly started showing until I was 16 weeks ish.
I was also hiding it from work, I told people after my 20 week scan and most said they wouldn't have guessed (my work place is male orientated though)

Lost 6lbs

15 weeks and not showing yet although can’t do up anything lol

Size 8-10, but short 5'3. I gained maybe 3/4lbs in the first trimester? But most of it was bloat. I threw up all the way through my pregnancy and my doctor kept hassling me to put on more weight. I'm in the US so they're a bit anal about weight gain targets.

Started showing really late I mostly just looked like I'd been at the tacos until I was about 6 months gone. Told my boss and colleagues at 22 weeks and they had no idea. I have no nice pregnancy photos because I just look fat in all of them .

Wow thanks for all the replies! 😄 ok my hopes are high that I can hide it for a while at least! I just want to make sure all ok with the anomaly scan at 20 weeks before announcing....

@porridgeface my work place is also male dominated 🙄

Didn't gain any weight in first trimester and started showing "belly fat" around week 14?? Honestly I can never tell if it's fat or the baby haha. I'm 16 weeks now and can still hide pretty well with sweaters.

Lost 5lbs through 15 weeks so far

I remember learning about fundal height in medical school and thinking back to my 2 aunts pregnant and due at the same time with very different sized bumps and thinking it is an old wives tale that will be disproven by new research. Lo and behold, very different looking bumps at the same gestation measure almost exactly the same most of the time.

Didn’t gain much in first trimester. Started to show around 24/25 weeks. Have gained 1st 5lb so far and I’m 33 weeks. Was a size 10 5’6 to start

I'm 5ft4 and a size 8, 15 weeks, currently 5lbs lighter than pre pregnancy and just starting to get a little bump. Although did have bad bloating which I've been having to hide. I'm planning on telling my team next week as don't think I'll be able to hide much longer as my stomach is usually so tiny so the bump will be quite noticeable.

I gained about 2lb in the first trimester (I had previously lost a lot of weight for a wedding and had left the diet well behind me!) however I didn't really show until about 5 months.

I had days where I would be bloated but that was easily concealed with a slightly baggier top.

Only my immediate line manager worked out I was pregnant before I told people at 16 weeks...and this was only because I had quite bad sickness and she saw the anti sickness bands I was wearing when I was washing a cup in the kitchen. She was also the only person who knew me and DH had been TTC for a couple of years as she is a close friend outside of the office so she'd kind of been waiting for it to happen I guess.

I would say though if you have a good relationship with your manager tell them. I'm glad my manager knew. It meant she was able to offer me some support at work which was much appreciated given how sick I was feeling.

I managed to hide it until last week; and I'm 27 weeks. I'm confident if I wanted to still suck it in and dress right I could hide it longer, but didn't want to anymore!

I'm 5'8" and was 72kg before the pregnancy.

If you are slim, most people don't start showing properly until 20 weeks.

I didn't gain anything until about 21 weeks. But by 40 weeks I had gained 23kg!

Oh, and didn't gain anything until 20weeks thanks to HG, which I don't recommend

First pregnany was a size 10 and could easily have passed for not pregnant till about 20 maybe even 22 weeks. Ate loads in first trimester, gained about 3 or 4 pounds. Second pregnancy however I looked pregnant by about week 10!

Gained loads in the first trimester, purely from eating loads to combat nausea. 17 weeks now and although I do have a bit of a belly it's mostly disguised by overall fat.

I’m size 12 and 5’8” - I initially gained half a stone from quitting smoking, then Iost it in my first trimester because of hyperemesis. I’m now 17 weeks and 8lb heavier than when I started. Definite bump now - I’m in my maternity clothes far earlier than I thought I would be!

With my first I probably put on about 2ib and didn’t start showing until 20 weeks; second was a different story though as I was so hungry in my first trimester

I'm 5'3 and didn't gain in first trimester. I've just started showing at 19 weeks but I'd easily be able to hide it till next week or beyond of people didn't know already.

Thanks ladies, looking positive that I can probably hide it until 20 weeks 😃
