I'm nearly 5wks pregnant and I had to really squeeze into my jeans this morning.

Granted, they just came out of the wash, but I dunno if it's more than that?

Last time I was pregnant I started to show quite early and put on 4 stone overall - I'm determined not to do that this time!

When did you start noticing all is not as it was?

about 10 minutes after doing the pg test which was at 4 weeks 2 days....

mine you I do show early and it's number 4. I seem to get a bump very fast then it stays the same size until about 5 months!

I noticed last week at 10 weeks

I got fat around the middle even before I had done the test with dd.....

I was swollen before I knew I was pg. I also found having anything constraining my stomach unbearable.

about 16 weeks a slight bump appeared when i laid down. it was my first.

was my first but only really had any noticeable tummy at about 4 months, i was well annoyed! wanted everyone to see i was pg

I'm only 9 weeks gone with my first and I've had really bad pain from otherwise dormant endometriosis, this may have contributed to my swollen belly. My jeans are really tight and like ib, I can't stand anything constraining my abdomen. I've also not stopped eating and am sooo tired, I can't exercise!! Ironically, I've always eaten very healthily, lots of fruit, veg, oily fish, avocado, seeds etc but in the past 9 weeks all I've craved is toast and crisps, let's hope the nausea passes and I can get back to eating the good stuff or I'll be the size of a house.

I'm 9 weeks but you wouldn't know. I keep trying to kid myself you can see a belly but really am skinnier than before pregnant (due to lack of appetite and running around after a toddler).

Really really can't remember when I started showing as pregnant last time - but I was definitely thicker around the middle straight away - it was one of the reasons I took a pregnancy test!

I'n nearly 8 weeks and apart from having a slightly bloated feeling at night I don't feel any rounder. This is my 3rd too

i take ages to look properly pregnant but this time with #3 i definitly noticed changes in my waist line from about 8 weeks. apparently its trapped wind, excess water and where your insides are being shoved up slightly! also pregnancy makes your muscles relax. still took ages to have a bump and look properly pregnant though

Hmmm...so the concensus is that everyone's different but it can affect you from the minute you do the deed...

Got some really nice maternity jeans in the sale from Dorothy Perkins today in preparation.
