By Week 16-17, I felt more rounded all up. Some days it still looks like blobby belly, rather than pregnant belly. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plus-sized-and-pregnant-when-did-you-start-showing#post-460103 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:24:56 +0000 Crisark 460103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the earliest was around week 16. I was/am a size 18 before. I have only gained 1.5lbs and am 22 weeks tomorrow. </p> [attach=282/12/mfe2xl.600x449.photo-5-.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plus-sized-and-pregnant-when-did-you-start-showing#post-460084 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:15:33 +0000 sarac 460084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chrispygal: I LOVE that top - the color! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plus-sized-and-pregnant-when-did-you-start-showing#post-459836 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:14:36 +0000 prettylizy 459836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had someone cautioustly ask me if I was pregnant when I was about to give birth, my water actually broke that night! I felt like it was obvious when I was about 22 weeks or so, but some people said I was barely showing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plus-sized-and-pregnant-when-did-you-start-showing#post-459754 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:21:20 +0000 chrispygal 459754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unless I wore empire waist tops I just looked/felt extra fat. By 20 weeks it was definitely noticeable and it just grew from there. I definitely had a preggo belly that was undeniable. Here was my belly at 28.5 weeks. </p> [attach=1820/12/mfdufl.600x448.28.5weeks.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plus-sized-and-pregnant-when-did-you-start-showing#post-459747 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:12:58 +0000 sera_87 459747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months before some people started noticing and 33-35wks when it was REALLY noticeable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plus-sized-and-pregnant-when-did-you-start-showing#post-459745 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:10:41 +0000 T.H.O.U. 459745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember exactly. I know that even by 7-9 weeks I felt really bloated and wanted to unbutton my pants. I think by 10-12 weeks I started wearing some maternity pants to work just to be more comfortable. During that time I too lost about 10 pounds. I think finally in the second trimester I really started to get a bump. </p> <p>Don't worry you will show! Sometimes people are just nervous to comment on how big a moms belly is getting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/plus-sized-and-pregnant-when-did-you-start-showing#post-459718 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 07:16:40 +0000 lomom 459718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 19 weeks and was a size 20 prior to getting pregnant. I'm down 10 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight but certainly am carrying a lot more in my midsection than ever before.</p> <p>I feel like in the right clothes, I look noticeably pregnant. However, my coworkers keep commenting that I'm not showing at all. This morning, I've got maternity jeans on and a flowy top that's gathered at the top, creating like an empire waist style and I really think I look pregnant! </p> <p>Plus-sized bees, when did you start showing? (Feel free to add in the comments what "showing" means to you, if it's when you noticed, friends/family noticed, or when strangers noticed.) </p>
