First timers- when did your bump start to show?

[Thandeka]

I'm convinced people will be able to tell with me as my pot belly has taken on a more bump like appearance (but am possibly being paranoid- i feel fatter anyhow so I am in the baggy clothes which of course add to the pregnant appearance!). I am only 7 weeks 2days so well aware how tiny it all is so unlikely "the bump" is anything other than too many ginger biscuits and packets of ready salted crisps to keep the morning sickness at bay!
Interestingly I used to be able to suck in my pot belly so I looked slimmer and I just can't do that now and the fattest part of my tummy has moved a bit higher up and has flattened out a bit (so my belly is like a one bucket sandcastle rather than a sand mound!)

So anyhow dear Mnetters when did you first start to get your first bumps appearing?

I'm 8 weeks and none of my trousers fit anymore :s I think I actually stopped fastening them about 2 weeks ago. I feel quite bloated and have been eating loads, but my stomach does feel like it's stretching. I can't stop rubbing my belly, my DH thinks I'm doing it on purpose...

I'm just over 18 weeks and in the last 2 to 3 days my tummy has definitely got bigger. It's not a bump yet though and if you didn't know me you wouldn't know. However I'm usually a curvy 8/10 with a little waist and flat tummy so my friends and colleagues are now noticing

I'm 11 weeks and have a little bump already, think a lot of it is swelling as it gets bigger in the evenings! My stomach has always been flat and have a small waist so I've really noticed it. When I wear certain clothes, I feel like people can really see it but I can still wear a lot of my usual clothes, just nothing without a bit of stretch! I'm loving my new little mini bump!

About 15 weeks a little bump appeared

Am 18 weeks with no bump. Clothes bit tighter.

No one at work knows and I have been in bikini and no one noticed. Am tall and size 10 .

First thing I do every morning is go to mirror to check if anything has happened!

Didn't show properly until I was nearly 7 months, then at full term I still had a tiny bump. DS was 7lb14oz though, so I must have been carrying him in my boobs! (which were hhhhhuge)

I am 17 weeks today and seem to have popped out last night! I just had a bit of a wobble on DP as I have been feeling really self conscious all day and got a little upset, don't get me wrong i am thrilled it is all going well, but can't help feeling very disorientated about what is happening to my body.

Off for a relaxing bath and then to try on some flattering clothes I think.

I was showing by 8 weeks and in maternity wear at 10 weeks! Absolutely no surprises from anyone when I made it "official" at 12 weeks as I was already huge.

DD was big - 9lb10oz at birth and I'm quite slim so it was pretty obvious as it was all bump and boobs.

I've put about 2-3 inches on round my waist and am 10 weeks 3 days. I worried I'm just gonna look fat for quite a while as I was a size 16 before getting pregnant. I lost 2 stone before and was hoping to loose more but the midwife said the weight loss prob helped as I had just come off the pill. I'm already in maternity jeans as mine were just so uncomfortable even though I can still do them up. I did buy a bump support band hoping that it make my belly more bump shaped than looking fat, god that makes me sound so vain! I'm just worried people are gonna be like oh your only 10 weeks when I feel I look huge. I can't wait till I look like I have a bump rather than a fat belly lol.
