I looked like I'd put some weight on by about 16 weeks, had a little bump by 20 weeks and was too big for my normal jeans, but too small for maternity jeans. I looked pregnant (so that others might notice) by 25 ish weeks.
It was all earlier for my second dd.

Still in normal jeans till about 17wks. Felt a fraud at my 20wk scan I had a curve in my tummy certainly not a bump. I had a very toned tummy though.

Most folk at work didn't know I was pregnant till 6/7 month. It felt obvious to me but bump was small. Caught up from there though.

I didn’t. Everyone really is different. Six days before DS’s birth I had a severe allergic reaction and was rushed to hospital. The doctor asked if there was any chance I could be pregnant (I was around a size 10) and I said I was. He asked when my due date was and I replied...Saturday. He weighed 8lb 7oz!

I'm 24 weeks and only just got some maternity clothes the last couple of days. No obvious bump though, just rounder - could easily be christmas weight!

Around 15w ish but mostly looked like I'd eaten a big lunch. Popped and was undeniably pregnant around 20w.

I don't think I was really showing until I was well into the third trimester (30 weeks+). I could feel a bump by about 24 weeks, but you couldn't tell I was pregnant by just looking. I am obese though, so I look pretty rotund anyway.

I'm 17 weeks with my first and I'm just looking a bit rotund. There's a curved tummy, but it's balanced out by my newly wide hips and enormous breasts!

19/20 weeks in a tightish dress. Some colleagues didn't seem to know till about 25/26.

About 20 weeks. Actually lost weight due to HG so people at work were commenting on my losing weight rather than gaining it.

5 minutes after the BFP lol, due to being very skinny and suddenly bloating up due to hormones! There was no hiding it!

20ish weeks. I had a little belly at 18 weeks and a teardrop-shaped bump at 21 weeks in photos. I'm 5ft4.

I definitely popped out between 24-26 weeks. Up to then I was still in my normal clothes and only started wearing maternity jeans from around week 26. I'm quite slim, usually wear a UK size 8/10. I was always googling bump sizes at different weeks and it varies enormously between different women :)
