When did you all start showing in pregnancy?

Hi everyone so I’m 7 weeks pregnant and already showing quite a bit! I’m quite athletic frame, go gym regularly and this is my 5th pregnancy but did miscarry two weeks before getting pregnant with this one. So when did you all start showing? I don’t really want to show yet as don’t want people knowing so it’s a bit of an odd one! Feel like I’m showing so early

I'm the opposite in that I was nearer 6/7 months in both my pregnancies before it was obvious, because I'm overweight!

I was definitely a bit more round than normal at 7/8 weeks, especially in my lower belly. For a few weeks my belly was flat again but by 12 weeks I'd bloated again.

I'm now 18 weeks and still only showing a bit more than I was at 12 weeks in my opinion but seem to be getting rounder by the day and a bit higher up now whereas before was all in the lower belly.

I'm 5'3 and usually around 50-52kg fwiw, weighed 55kg at my 16 week appointment

@cornfl oh wow and what pregnancy number is this for you if you don’t mind me asking? Do you know what you’re having? Congratulations!

@WhiteRose222 oh bless you I’m guessing weight has something to do with it then

12 weeks, pregnancy number 1. I don't think I'm showing yet, my waistline has disappeared, but no visible bump. I do have a longer torso.

Ooh for me not until 18 -20 weeks. But I've always been chubby and so the visceral fat definitely hid my two.

I’m 7.5 weeks and my sister looked at me today and asked “have you got a bump already?”. I’m sure it’s just bloat and I wasn’t at my slimmest before this pregnancy but it is my 7th pregnancy (only two to full term) so I’m kind of worried I am showing a bit early when I’d rather people not know/speculate!

Lisac1991 · 17/09/2024 20:06

@Herewegoagain8 aw pretty much same as me 7 weeks and showing! Yes not ready to show just yet don’t want everyone knowing be nice to keep it private as long as possible really aha or at least until I’m past the 12 weeks. Perhaps it’s true the more pregnancies we have the more we show!!

I am 8 weeks pregnant with my 3rd pregnancy and I seem to be showing already too! It’s worse on a night. I can’t fasten my jeans or anything.
I’m not sure if it’s bloat or bump but I feel like this time around I could be massive. I am only small and very slim so it’s really showing more.

25 weeks with DC1 and 16 weeks with DC 2

With my 1st not noticeably showing until about 24 weeks (but still could have been mistaken for having put a bit of weight on!), with the second much earlier more like 16 weeks.

Nejnej · 17/09/2024 21:37

I'm tall and slim. Looked super pregnant in early pregnancy, but it was all bloating! Settled down by second trimester and bump popped out at 19 weeks :)

BumbleBeeeeeeee · 17/09/2024 21:57

About 21/22 weeks

sel2223 · 18/09/2024 00:54

First pregnancy not till well into the second trimester and even then I just looked a bit overweight. It was 33+ weeks before I looked unmistakably pregnant.

Second pregnancy, I swear I've had a bump since 6/7 weeks!

Youmwarayoum · 18/09/2024 01:12

With my first, I popped overnight when I was 5 months pregnant. My husband went away for a night and I was flat. Next day he returned and I had a bump!

With my second, I was showing at 8 weeks. I remember being congratulated and I thought it was because we were buying a house, and I was surprised this random nursery mum knew that, and then I went home and realised I had a bump. It may have been bloating, but it never went away and only got bigger!

Earlier every time. 5 pregnancies. Probably got to 18 weeks with first, then down by 2 weeks each time as an average I'd say. Also put a lot of weight on with Baby 2 so it was harder to discern.
