Was out of all my clothes by 12 weeks with DD2 and showing by 16 weeks - mind you was huge in the end. People used say hello to bump and then to me

Dawnie1, First pg didn't really get bump til 6 months. Am now on pg no 4 and got bump around 4 months.

I'm 21 weeks now and people who are strangers are starting to notice, which is nice as I don't really like the just fat look

Although I was out of most of my clothes this time about 3 months but didn't have a bump just a 'thicker' waist!!

very early - almost before I was !!!!!

Seriously - only a few weeks, everything starts to flop!! don't worry!!

Especially if there is not much on an age gap.

About 6 months with DD but now 9+4 weeks and cant believe how fat i'm looking. Not a definate bump just fat. Feeling really unattractive. Not big enough to wear maternity clothes but too fat to wear my normal clothes....I look like a frump, i feel like a frump and it's hot and i'm all bothered.

As you can probably tell, i'm letting it get me down today lol.

I was out there after the first couple of months - I was really overeating though .

About 5 mins after the positive came up on the stick.

I'm 10+6 weeks with no 2 and not showing at all just got baby tummy left over from last time.

With DD I was needing maternity clothes at 18 weeks but I'm a stone lighter this time so maybe that has something to do with it I don't know. My boobs were huge at 8 weeks with DD went from 34C to 38E overnight I was shocked in Mothercare. Am still BFing DD so they haven't changed at all this time.

I hate the looking fat stage before you look pregnant as well.

Yes - it's a amazing how quickly a bump can appear - when your body knows what to do!

I'm 28 weeks - but every one keeps asking me how many days to go! I'm fed up! No one noticed I was pregnant until 6 months with my first!!

Take it easy

When I came home after the birth of my second child, my neighbour asked me whose baby it was.... she hadn't noticed I was pregnant!

In her defence though, I am rather overweight!
