I don't think anybody else would notice but the shape of my abdomen definitely changes.</p> <p>I'm ten weeks along now and it's getting harder and harder to suck it in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-93030 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 00:34:24 +0000 cupcakemama 93030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started to show by about 14 weeks or rather that was when it was getting hard to hide the bump with clothes without it being really obvious. I am reasonably slim to start with so it was fairly obvious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92961 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:47:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 92961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any symptoms and I didn't start showing until around the 5 month mark, then I really popped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92921 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:10:17 +0000 shellio 92921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a long torso too. I looked a little chubby around 24 weeks or so, and it was around 30 weeks that I started to get pregnancy comments from strangers. I wore regular clothes until about 36-37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92887 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 19:22:59 +0000 sandy 92887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 16-18 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92866 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:32:32 +0000 keiki_mama 92866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 18 weeks or so... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92864 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:30:52 +0000 kml636 92864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I have a similar body type, I'm glad it's not just me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92863 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:29:53 +0000 kml636 92863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must be one of the "lucky" ones... Last time I had a small bump by 10 weeks and this time one of the reasons I thought I might be pregnant was I looked "puffy" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92791 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:10:50 +0000 spaina96 92791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last week or so i have major bloat i am 13 weeks this week, so far been able to comfortable wear my pants. I also have not had a lot of symptoms. I have a longer torso and am plus size so i am sure that changes things a bit, not really looking forward to maternity shopping due to my size, so the longer i stay in my clothes the happier i will be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92789 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 16:01:45 +0000 joyjoy 92789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm quite petite, and my family and friends were telling me that since I was small overall I wouldn't show until later. Uhh...yea, I'm 15 weeks along and I'm only slightly smaller than my friend who is 10 weeks further but 5 inches taller. People who know me but whom I haven't told have started asking if I'm pregnant. I'd say I'm "showing" now. :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92787 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:58:28 +0000 emahlee 92787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't look pregnant till week 22/23. </p> <p>I "hid" my pregnancy from co-workers till about week 26. Everyone just thought I was getting fat, but by week 26, I started getting a lot of "sooooooooo anything new?" and "you look different..." accompanied by stares at my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92778 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:35:06 +0000 hilsy85 92778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: Yeah I think I"m the opposite--longer torso, shorter legs, so maybe that means I'll be showing later? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92776 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:33:24 +0000 yoursilverlining 92776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started showing very early, but I have long legs/really short torso so there was nowhere for her to go but out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92774 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:30:02 +0000 Weagle 92774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At this point I feel like I've been showing forever :) But I know in reality nothing really changed until about week 22-23. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92756 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:02:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 92756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh girl, I was in the same boat. I'm 12 weeks today and just "popped"..and by popped, I mean, I'm the only one (and people who know) that noticed. I had nausea but not enough that I felt pregnant! Even after the ultrasound I was terrified. I won't say "enjoy it" because even though no symptoms is nice, it's still nicer to know there's a baby in there, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92755 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:01:33 +0000 Rubies 92755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't start really showing until 23 weeks...Prior to that, I just looked like I was getting fat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92754 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 15:01:22 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 92754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At the end of first tri I only had a little "bloat". Until about 20 weeks I barely had any bump at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92752 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:58:22 +0000 bushelandapeck 92752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 19 weeks and I think I'm only just starting to look pregnant and that's only when I wear clothes that accentuate the bump :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92750 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:53:49 +0000 hilsy85 92750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, this makes me feel better!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92749 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:52:39 +0000 skibobrown 92749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By the end of my 1st trimester I was noticing that my pants were feeling rather snug. At 8 weeks I was definitely not showing, and even at 10 weeks from what I remember there were just the tiniest hints that my belly was growing. It wasn't until something like 20 weeks that I really started to pop and my bump became truly noticeable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92748 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:51:30 +0000 Mrsbells 92748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I barely ahd any bump at all until I was way into my 2nd trimester, my belly sort of changed shape around 12-14 weeks but it wasnt really a bump it just looked bloated </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92747 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:51:22 +0000 Andrea 92747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was 23 weeks or so when I had a small bump that I could see but I had not popped yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-1#post-92743 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 14:47:23 +0000 hilsy85 92743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 8 weeks pregnant today, and I have zero bump or bloat. The lack of bump, combined with my lack of symptoms (except majorly sore and swollen bbs!) makes me feel a little worried, even though I know I'm being silly. When did you start to show with your first child? Not so much when did you "pop", but when was there even the hint of a bump, even if it wasn't noticeable to others? </p>
