Quite late! Around 24 weeks, some people still didn't notice right up to the end. With my 2nd though...

Skyla01 · 02/01/2021 11:14

Small bump that I could see from around 14 weeks. By 16/18wks I thought it was pretty obvious but some of my colleagues still didn't realise! Everyone is different though and also depends how you dress.

Quite early I think, before 16w. At least it was obvious to me. Others may have thought it was just the effects of lockdown...

I don't think I showed until gone 20 weeks - I was definitely still in my skinny jeans until around 14 weeks

This time I'm having twins and have been in maternity wear since 9 weeks 🤣

Mylittlepony374 · 02/01/2021 11:24

18 weeks. Overnight the bump just popped out.

Hunt123 · 02/01/2021 11:28

@ivfbeenbusy very interesting ! I had a dream about having twins last night . It was very strange ! How far gone were you when you found out you were having twins!

@Skyla01 @Stroller15 @Mylittlepony374 @LaMadrilena thanks all ! It’s interesting how everyone is so different ! Hence the curiosity! Good luck ladies!

Around 7 months. We went on holiday at 6 months and in the few photos there are of me I'm not showing at all.

I didn't tell colleagues until very late into my pregnancy and I'm sure it was a few weeks after our holiday. It was as if I told them and then the next week I started to show!

readyforroundtwo · 02/01/2021 11:59

Around 16 weeks with my first.

Respectabitch · 02/01/2021 12:07

Depends what you mean by "show".

It was noticeable to me at 13-14 weeks. It would be noticeable that my body had changed to others who knew me at 16-17 weeks but just like I'd gained a bit of podge really. Didn't look obviously "pregnant" until probably 24 weeks, and didn't move into maternity wear until around 18.

letsmakethetea · 02/01/2021 12:14

About 6 months I could notice it. It wasn't until 7-8 months that others could.

anothermansmother · 02/01/2021 12:14

26/27 weeks. I was admitted to hospital with a bleed and all the other women on the ward were very confused at how pregnant I was. By 30 weeks I was huge and couldn't fit in my clothes.

kidhelp · 02/01/2021 12:25

Day 1

Smoa9 · 02/01/2021 13:39

About 30 weeks

MimiDaisy11 · 02/01/2021 14:44

I was curious about this and whether height affects it. From what I've seen taller women tend to show later. I'm 17 weeks and still just look a little chubbier in my stomach than normal.

pringlebells · 02/01/2021 14:57

I was about 5 months when my jeggings and dresses got abit tight and I had a rounded stomach.

I had a huge baby (10lb1) and my bump didn't look big till about 6 months then I looked full term haha

DiabeticFirstBaby · 02/01/2021 15:04

I'm 22 weeks now and have a bump, up until 18 ish weeks i just looked like i was carrying some extra weight and then i sort of just popped!

SnooperTrooper12345 · 02/01/2021 16:41

Not until around 30 weeks haha!

thismeansnothing · 02/01/2021 16:45

Closer to 30 weeks.

Illy605 · 02/01/2021 18:53

I’m 16 weeks now and it’s noticeable to me, but just looks like bloating, without the feeling of being bloated (finally!)

Sceptre86 · 02/01/2021 18:56

At 24 weeks but I was slim the first time around.

Nat4392 · 02/01/2021 20:09

Around 15/16 weeks I got a little bump. From around 17/18 it became noticeable to others

Roselilly36 · 02/01/2021 20:11

About 20wks with first DS, much earlier with DS2

Polkadot123 · 02/01/2021 21:23

I’m pretty tall and it completely depends on what I wear but I think it’s been noticeable clearly since around 16 weeks. I definitely spotted work colleagues having a little look at my stomach and wondering from around 14 weeks. Personally I could tell myself from around 12 weeks. Everyone’s completely different and it really does depend on your height and pre pregnancy weight in my opinion:) x

Wanderdust · 02/01/2021 21:49

I'm 17 weeks and still waiting to pop - just looks like a food baby but my eating over Xmas has probably contributed to that Smile

Wanderdust · 02/01/2021 21:50

And yes, still in my old skinny jeans!!
