I'm interested at what stage ladies first had a baby bump, with a first time pregnancy? Xx

I was visibly pregnant I would say 20 weeks

Depends what you mean and how closely someone was looking!
I was starting to feel conscious of it around 16 weeks but I don’t think anyone else noticed it with winter clothes on top. Pretty sure it was obvious to others by 20 weeks though.

I was really late to show in my first pregnancy.

I had a lot of bloating to begin with but then that went down and for the second trimester, I just looked like I'd eaten a bit too much. I doubt anyone would have been able to tell I was pregnant if I didn't tell them.
In fact, at 28/29 weeks I went for an unrelated MRI and I remember the woman scanning me just couldn't believe I was pregnant as I had a completely flat stomach when lying down.

I was never huge but i think I finally 'popped' somewhere between 31 and 33 weeks, that's when i looked unmistakably pregnant.

Second pregnancy - totally different - I swear I've looked pregnant since about 8 weeks! Now coming up to 33 weeks and I'm massive.

Currently pregnant with my first and I'd say I started to FEEL pregnant at about 15-16 weeks, but didn't start to look pregnant til maybe 20-21. 33 weeks now and it's undeniable hahaha

11 weeks (I'm short!), I had to have a maternity wedding dress at 18 weeks.

I started to show at around 16 weeks but it was only noticeable to those who knew I was pregnant (I'm normally pretty petite); to anyone else it probably just looked like I'd eaten a big meal. However I'm now just shy of 22 weeks and it's pretty obvious - I'd say it popped properly about 10 days ago.

I’m 5ft I didn’t show until around 25 weeks with my first pregnancy. I was slim back then too! On my second one now and have been showing clearly since about 18 weeks.

I had old ladies in shops asking when I was due by 15 weeks!

I’ve heard it said that shorter people show earlier. Certainly wasn’t the case for me!

Im 15 weeks. I have a bit of a bloat but that's about it! I don't think others would notice to be honest.

YorkshirePeridot · 04/02/2025 06:47

I started showing around 14 weeks but I don't think it was obvious unless people already knew. I'm now 21 weeks and it's a lot more obvious but still hideable. I'm tall so wasn't expecting to show as early as I did!

Babybaby2025 · 04/02/2025 12:59

I'm 17 weeks, my stomach looks different, its hard and I look bloated, but no clear bump yet. I'm hoping this is early stages of a bump and I show soon. Currently it's just very unflattering
