I'm around 5'3 and had a little muffin top tummy 👀 before I got pregnant but otherwise slim build. When did you start showing when it was your first? Any ideas on when I might show. Currently 12 weeks.

Around 18-19 weeks I stopped being able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans, by 23 weeks(ish) I had a small but shapely bump rather than just bloat. I'm 5'4" and a size 8 pre/post pregnancy

Prettylittlelady · 08/07/2020 06:33

I started showing properly around 19 weeks - now I’m 26 and look very pregnant!

mintich · 08/07/2020 06:36

I think around 12 weeks my belly was definitely rounder and waistbands were getting tighter

Thegirlhasnoname · 08/07/2020 06:52

With my first it took until about 22 weeks before I was noticeably pregnant to anybody else (5”2’)

jdy123 · 08/07/2020 07:01

I didn't start to get a little bump until 20ish weeks, then a more noticeable little bump probably to others from 20 something weeks.

sel2223 · 08/07/2020 07:58

OH and i could see a tiny bump from abojt 14/15 weeks but it was closer to 20 weeks when anyone else could see it. I just looked fat and bloated before then lol.
It was around 32 weeks when i really popped though.

Mc3209 · 08/07/2020 08:15

Started noticing smallest of the bumps at around 16 weeks, by 20-22 weeks was visibly pregnant to people who don't know me (5''5', size 6-8 pre-pregnancy).

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 08/07/2020 08:15

8 weeks

Chanel05 · 08/07/2020 08:19

I started to look pregnant around 20 weeks.

Oh, give over! Do you really think a pregnancy board is the best place for this sort of spam? Try a blokier forum maybe.

At five months it was obvious to anyone who looked, before that I showed just a little bit.

Superscientist · 08/07/2020 09:59

My boobs and bloat came at about 12-14 weeks so I had to switch out of my regular tops. Bump started about 18 weeks but wasn't super obviously until about 20 ish weeks

MaverickDanger · 08/07/2020 10:02

I’ve been bloated since about 14 weeks, I still think I just look a bit chubby but DH thinks I’ve got a tiny bump from the side.

I’m 17 weeks.

TruffleMama · 08/07/2020 10:20

I'm 5'2" and was size 8 before pregnancy.

I'm now 13 weeks, and have a small bump. However, to Joe Public I probably just look like I've gained a little lockdown snack tummy.

Pinecone88 · 08/07/2020 10:31

Bump grew overnight around 18-19 weeks, not huge, but noticeable.

Eggcellent29 · 08/07/2020 10:42

People still didn’t know I was pregnant at 38 weeks! :(

TangBloodyFastic · 08/07/2020 11:10

19- 20 weeks for me to notice
To everyone else, they are yet to tell and I'm now 21weeks. I'm still in my normal tops. Have had to move to leggings or jeans with a bobble round the button to give me an extra inch Grin

Carabu1 · 08/07/2020 14:16

I’m 15 weeks, short and slight, and I haven’t got a bump at all yet. I def look a bit fatter, and have abandoned my tighter clothes, but I don’t look pregnant unless you knew (just like I’ve let myself go!). Glad this is normal - all the pics online seem to be of women with huge bumps at this stage!

bee222 · 08/07/2020 14:33

I’m 5 foot 3 and generally around a size 10. I’m 17 weeks now and I just look like I have put a bit of weight on. I don’t have a bump yet.

WhatWouldPennyDo · 08/07/2020 14:48

Probably about 18 weeks. Am 5’5 and a size 10. Really obvious now at 25 weeks - like having a football shoved up my jumper!

userabcname · 08/07/2020 14:51

I remember at my 20w scan with dc1 I didn't look pregnant at all. I think I popped around 23/24w. Dc2 I had an unmistakable bump at 20w!

rebecca102 · 08/07/2020 15:06

About 30 weeks I started getting a rounder belly. Slim build. 5'4 height. Right up to my due date tho if I wore baggy clothing no one would have known I was pregnant. Bub was 6,14 and he was born at 40 weeks

MrsAJG · 08/07/2020 15:20

I had the beginning of a small bump at around 18-19 weeks, but it wasn't obvious it was a baby until around 21-22 weeks. I'm now 27 weeks and very obviously pregnant, baby has definitely had a growth spurt in the last month or so. For reference I am 5ft2" and was a size 8-10 pre-pregnancy

Paris2019 · 08/07/2020 17:53

Around 15 weeks. One minute, nothing. The next minute, there it was! I'm slim size 8 so it was very noticeable to me, but tbf prob not to other people unless I was wearing something tight.
