when do you supposedly start showing wen ure pregnant

[daisy26]

Im about 11weeks maybe more but my tummy has really expanded and im not too sure or definate on my due date, suppose i should way myself and see if there's any difference maybe

I didn't put any weight on til at least 3 months cos I was eating really healthily and I didn't really show until about 5 months! I went for my 20 wk scan thinking they'd think I was mad!

i dunno if it's just me but im supposedly 11weeks now i mean i had a tummy before but it wasnt massive now i have seemed to really expand-i don't find out till the 12th feb then ill know if im further gone

If it's your first pregnancy it depends entirely on how toned your stomach was to start with. I didn't really show till about 14 weeks last time (but then made up for it by being enormous by 20).

This time I was obviously pregnant by six weeks.

Daisy - the other thing is, during the first trimester your bowel expands because you retain food for longer (to get more nutrition out of it) and this can seriously distend your stomach (up to 12 inches apparently!) So don't be too surprised if you seem to get smaller in a few weeks, then much bigger again.

yeh first pregnancy and i wasnt slim before hand and i eat sorta healthy i mean i don't really eat allot of junk.I just had a tummy wasnt toned or anything

In that case it'll probably be quite a bit of bowel and a little bit of baby. Tis good though, if you have very toned stomach muscles (as I did first time round) you get horrible stretching pains as they are pushed out the way, all the way through to six months!)

BTW take care not to attempt to push your bump out to show the world you are pregnant - tis v bad for the back. I have a 'baby on board' london underground badge instead! Works just as well in terms of getting people to let you sit down, as does vomiting on them in the first trimester

hehe that's a very good idea badge ill remember that. The thing is i normally don't show the world my tummy-some trousers i normally have on make me slim but now they are over bulging

You'll get used to it - I was out of my size 8 jeans by four weeks pregnant. They fit everywhere else but ye gods, it was so obvious I was expected (even if I wasn't vomiting constantly).

You want to have a look at yoga trousers, you can roll down the front under your bump and then when you are a bit more pregnant, roll it over the bump. That way you can look sort of normal with a long top on.

Oh and expect your tops to suddenly look too short!

Expecting not expected.

ill just gotta wait for 2 whole weeks to find out my due date want it to come quick the 12th feb hehe

I'm 23 weeks with my 4th and er, late 30s and have only developed a bump in the last 2 weeks. I am smugger than a smug thing being smug.

Pregnancies 2 & 3 however... I was showing by about 8/10 weeks and in maternity wear by 3 months.

you must be a slim person duchess i go to a aquanatal and there was girl at 12weeks flat as bloody pancake but then im only short so i look fatter hehe

well everyone guessed I was pg at 8 weeks by my belly ...then again my great aunt said "I knew she was pregnant at XXX's funeral" which was a month before I conceived so perhaps I'm just big bellied

but around xmas i wasnt soooo big but now i am-even my partner says i look bigger when i asked him

do you think you show much sooner with your second???

i am 5 weeks and have not started to show actually i have lost a stone i also did this with my first ds .

my hubby dodes not want to tell anyone til im 12 weeks and have had our scan but i am afraid the baby might want to be known about alot sooner!!!

any advice???

With my first I didnt know I was pregnant till 5 months! (only 16)

2nd, i remember having a bump at about 16 weeks.

I am now 6-7 weeks and the very bottom of my tummy, just above the pubic bone, is starting to swell. But I think its more things being pushed up rather than baby, iykwim!

1st time about 32 weeks

2nd time about 25 weeks

3rd time about 17 weeks

this was when everyone could notice or would ask me. i noticed my 3rd baby tummy swelling at about 8 weeks.

i hide my baby's despite being a size 8!

i was showing at 10 weeks huge by 20 eweeks everyone thought i was nearly due lol

1st time round 5 months
this time im 8 weeks and my jeans don't fit anymore

oh my goodness scorpio thats amazing

well i think i wil be the size of a house in no time but who cares i love a baby bump

I am 19 weeks pg with my first and only just out of my jeans - just can't get the top button done up anymore. Some work trousers have not fitted properly since week 12-13 though. Have got some nice yoga type trousers which makes work a bit more comfortable.

I am usually a size 16.

i am 17 weeks and not showing yet with no 6
i can tell i am fatter and i cannot lie flat on tummy anymore - but no one would ask me - i dont think
my friends keep saying i will suddenly pop

My jeans were too tight from about 12 weeks, but nobody noticed until about 16 weeks
