When did you show?

[CoffeeCakeCream]

First pregnancy - just wondering when people started to show? I'm only 5ft1 and a size 18 (have wondered if I'll just look fat the whole way through, I know its shallow but I don't want people to just think I've eaten too much during lockdown!)

I carry my weight on my stomach anyway so I have no idea what is what at the moment - bloat / fat / baby who knows!

I was slim pre pregnancy , regular size 8 build and I started to show (visibly to me and my DH) around 14 weeks, but I actually started to ‘look pregnant’ to other people who didn’t know at 18 weeks. I’m now 23 weeks +2 days and my bump is very obvious !
Congratulations this is my first pregnancy too! 💕💕

This was at 14 weeks but everyone else said I didn’t look pregnant but to me this felt like a proper bump, but now I can hardly run up the stairs without feeling exhausted 😂

With my first I started getting a bit bloated around 16 weeks and didn't start getting a bump until after 20 weeks. I'm pregnant with baby number four now and this time it was noticeable by 10 weeks and a definite bump just after 12 weeks!

It depends what you mean - show to who? Obviously me and my partner and then subsequently people close to me/work colleagues could tell much earlier on - I'd say by about 20 weeks it was visible and I had to make a further step of changes in my attire but I went on holiday at about 24 weeks and wasn't getting offered seats on buses or anything then so don't think other people could tell. When I look at photos of myself it wasn't properly obvious until I was about 7 months gone. I was a size 10 pre-pregnancy but initially lost some weight from HG and have been a size 8 afterwards.

I didn't show until 25 weeks and I'm a size 12. If its your first baby you don't tend to show until later, but everyone is different. They're not very big until much later in the pregnancy.

Congrats!

I 'popped' about 16 weeks....OH and I could tell sooner but this was when others started to notice and comment (pic is from 17 weeks)
