Just that really. Last time I have a picture from when I was 23 weeks wearing running leggings and my bump was nothing more than a slightly bloated tummy that I’ve had before. By 3 weeks later I have another picture where it’s a lot more obvious but I measured small at the 28 week check. The main thing I hated about pregnancy was people staring at my bump, touching my bump (especially before I was heavily pregnant) and just giving a running commentary on how I looked. I told everyone at work at 12 weeks because I felt like I had to and had no bump whatsoever but already had people commenting on my ‘bump’. It made me really self conscious and I’d wear baggy clothes to avoid it, especially around certain people like the MIL who would just stare at me as I walked anywhere. We’re thinking of trying for another but this time if we’re lucky enough to get to do it again, I’m wondering if we could tell no one and see how far we get 🤣

5 months. After that my stomach entered rooms half an hour before me.

With my first, maybe 4 months with a very careful choice of clothes. Child number 2 was about 10 weeks before I couldn't hide it. I'm currently pregnant with number 3 and I've had a huge bump since 6 weeks pregnant, no joke. Even my two year old toddler noticed when I was 6 weeks pregnant 🤦‍♀️

Five months- then the game was up!

DS1 I was 7 months before obviously pregnant

DS2 (ten years later) could tell from 4.5 months

DC1 - 7months
Currently - 5months and wouldn't be able to tell when I'm clothed

Probably 25 weeks or so. I'm 33 weeks now and people can't believe I'm
Due next month.

My first about 6 months. My second about 10 weeks!

It's a lot harder to hide with subsequent babies as you start to show earlier.

First time round I barley had a bump at 20wks scan but around this time it was more obvious if it wore tight clothing and u looked at my tummy. People still weren't really noticing until I was about 7 months.

Second time around I felt I had a bump by 8wks but it was a lot of bloating but I'd def say it was more noticeable by maybe 4months. Bump was probably bigger at that point than at my 20wk scan with the first one.

First time around I didn't get a noticeable bump until around 18ish weeks.
Currently 13 weeks pregnant with my second and already have a verrrry noticeable bump!

With DD, I could have hidden it until about 25 weeks.

With this one, I was absolutely massive from the start - so bloated. At my 12 week scan, the sonography asked "are you quite gassy, because I can see a lot of air..."
