7 months.

Got accused of faking the pregnancy many, many times...

Im 18 weeks tomorrow, FTM. Only the past week I think I look pregnant. I’m still convinced my belly is just lockdown weight gain though. Haven’t felt movement yet.

sel2223 · 18/06/2020 16:09

I'm a FTM too.
I did have a little bump by 16 weeks but it was probably only noticeable to other people closer to 19/20 weeks.
I'm 32 weeks now and still not massive. Just last week someone commented that they wouldn't have known I was pregnant if I hadn't mentioned it!

I came here to ask the same question.
I’m 14 weeks and not showing. I’m a size 10 and only 5 foot 3, so everyone said I would show sooner. Starting to panic a little because symptoms have eased off so I have nothing to remind me that I’m actually pregnant!

My friend said she didn’t really show until 20 weeks with her first.

Only 11w with 3rd baby and its hard to hide now!! X

39suzy · 18/06/2020 16:10

I kept my last (second) pregnancy well concealed til 19w and none of my colleagues knew!

YerAWizardHarry · 18/06/2020 16:11

Around 26/27 weeks, could easily hide it under a jumper until about 32 weeks

BlueLadybird · 18/06/2020 16:12

I told colleagues at 18 weeks and no one had noticed. I could still hide it at 20 weeks but after that it became obvious from certain angles!

bengalcat · 18/06/2020 16:15

24 weeks

VinoOlive · 18/06/2020 16:16

1st and only pregnancy, about 22/23 weeks

rocknrosie · 18/06/2020 16:25

FTM and about 21/22w :)

RestorationInsanity · 18/06/2020 16:37

Am currently 16 weeks, look a lot more pregnant in the evening when I'm too tired to hold anything in, but apart from that I just don't have much of a waist anymore and stomach is no longer flat. In the right clothes, noone would know!

Keepingcomfy · 18/06/2020 16:41

I'm 14 weeks and FTM and though my belly is sticking out a wee bit it's purely bloat and constipation 😂 Sorry (TMI)

Pinkblueberry · 18/06/2020 16:45

I think 18 or 19 weeks, I can’t remember exactly. I know there was nothing at 15 weeks because I lay down flat and took a picture. Not even a bloat at that point I didn’t know how there could be a baby in there! That was my first though and I did have strong abs at the time.

Whiffle77 · 18/06/2020 16:52

I'm 16 weeks and the last two weeks my shape has changed massively, I def look pregnant now but I'm quite padded on my tummy so I think the actual baby has just pushed the padding into a different shape 🙈 I'm really tall and curvy so expected to show much later! Feel massive this week

Hannah9176 · 18/06/2020 16:55

Didn't look pregnant until 23 weeks ish with my first. Currently 13 weeks with my second and my belly is a little rounder but I'm still in my normal size 10 jeans although I reckon I've only got a week or 2 left in them

Gingernutlady · 18/06/2020 17:53

When I'm not bloated in the morning if I lay down completely flat and suck my belly in I've got a teeny little bump.

Stood up and relaxed I just look bloated and it's very easy to hide.

Currently 13 weeks with first baby. 5 foot 7 and usually 12/14 (UK) in clothes

London91 · 18/06/2020 18:22

I didn't start showing till around 20/21 weeks. I'm 30 weeks and now very visibly pregnant. FTM.

SJChief · 18/06/2020 18:27

I have the opposite problem - FTM, size 10-12 beforehand - started properly showing at 15 weeks (i.e. noticeable baby bump). Now at 20 weeks I have people in the street saying things like "not long to go now"... There's only one baby in there!!

EllaWt · 18/06/2020 18:31

@SJChief people suck , why would they say that to a stranger ?! Hmm i hope you don't let it get to you because Im sure you look fab either way and it's none of their business!

I wanted to ask the same question. I am 11+6 wks and am not showing. It concerned me to see proper rounded bellies of some of the vloggers on Youtube at 12 weeks.

AnnaSW1 · 18/06/2020 19:52

6 1/2 months

Danielle95lab · 18/06/2020 20:07

21 weeks now and definitely look pregnant and not just plump. But I could probably hide it under a jumper, not expecting to be big until the 7 month mark xx

Char2020 · 18/06/2020 20:42

17+2 and have a noticeable bump, I could hide it in baggy clothes but anything tight it becomes obvious. I’m a FTM and was a size 8 before I was pregnant, am now 10-12.

Szalinski · 18/06/2020 20:50

I'm only 7 weeks and I'm noticeably bigger already and finding it hard to suck in! I mean it's got to be all bloat but it's a bit shocking nonetheless.

Second pregnancy.
