Just wondered really, when can I expect to have to break out the elastic-fronted trousers again...?

About 5 minutes after the positive test! Or possibly that was me just letting the fat all hang out and claiming it was a baby bump.

Though I did actually feel the need for elasticated trousers by about 10 weeks so maybe it was a little bit baby and not just all blubber!

At 5 weeks!!
Theres photos on my profile. I dug out my maternity jeans about 8 weeks.

I'm 10+3 with number 2, and already mahoosive.
I am confined to leggings and tunics on non-work days, and only have 2 pairs of work trousers left that fit .

Wow, so keeping it quiet until after the 12 week scan might be tricky this time around!! I shall have to factor that in... Thanks for sharing!

I'm 18 weeks and still in normal clothes. Getting lots of really?!?, I thought you said you were pregnant, where are you hiding your baby? etc. Showed around 6 months with my first do guess I'm a late bloomer! Looking forward to my bump though

2nd time around I needed the maternity kit around 8-10 weeks. I tried to resist as long as possible as couldn't believe it was necessary but the waistbands weren't lying

Second time round by 8 weeks I was holding my pants together with a hair bobble, and by 11 weeks was in my maternity jeans, but I think now at 29 weeks Im smaller.... and baby is measuring smaller (my dd was a whopper)

About 8 weeks bloomin ridiculous and now pregnant with 3rd was instant hugeness, just went straight to mothercare for for over the bump maternity jeans and gave into it. People are treating me like i am really really pregnant like 6 months and its embarrasing cos only 17 weeks and huge.

I'm 9 weeks with DC2 and not showing properly, though have got a definite ridge over my pubis of uterus-top, which is earlier than I remember seeing it last time. Last time I didn't really show until 20+ weeks - I was still in normal clothes at that point, though with an elastic stretchy thing on jeans waistband. Have no expectation of being able to keep it quiet for quite so long this time!

Bloody hell pigley, you're not joking

almost 10 weeks and still wearing jeans with belt no bump here yet. Can't remember when I showed with DD though to be honest, only ever had a very small bump due to height and size so may well be the same this time round.
