I remember telling someone at work I was 6 months preggo &amp; she just didn't believe me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445366 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:06:04 +0000 MrsBrewer 445366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pumpkinspice: I love your bump!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445362 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 17:00:24 +0000 oliviaoblivia 445362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I showed early and have a big bump...measuring 4-5 weeks ahead, but I'm also expecting a 9-10lb. baby. Even if you do have a big bump, it's for a good cause! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445332 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:43:38 +0000 stargal 445332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 18 weeks is when I started to show. That's when people start coming up to me congratulating me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445329 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:39:07 +0000 Crisark 445329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is me from today....preggo with my 3rd....<br /> I've been showing since at least 12 weeks.<br /> And note with that giant belly I've only gained 2 lbs...some times your build and how your body handles it makes a difference. </p> <p>[attach=282/12/mexth7.450x600.photo-8-.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445317 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 16:31:42 +0000 JoJoGirl 445317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh lord all these responses me are making me terrified i'm going to end up totally enormous! Does showing early usually lead to a bigger bump? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445225 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:54:54 +0000 Mrsbells 445225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasnt noticeably showing until towards the end of the 2nd trimester. At 18 weeks when I told my boss he couldnt beleive it because my belly was basically flat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445217 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:49:14 +0000 shopaholic 445217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think ~20 weeks for family &amp; friends to start noticing. Just this past week (27) for strangers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445204 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:43:51 +0000 ladyfingers 445204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say around 13 weeks, but it was mostly bloat. I started "shrinking" around 18 weeks but it was the bloat going down and the bump was still tiny. Everybody is different, so don't worry about comparing yourself to others! As long as the baby is happy and healthy when you go to the doctor, that's all that counts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445141 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:10:26 +0000 prettylizy 445141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 20 weeks, I'm tall with a long torso. Some people were afraid to ask me if I was pregnant when I was 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-445136 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:07:42 +0000 birdofafeather 445136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a short torso as well and i would say around 17 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444965 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:58:50 +0000 Springtime 444965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine popped out somewhere between 16 &amp; 18 weeks. At 20 weeks I was definitely showing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444961 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:57:40 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 444961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: aw, I remember these days on WB!</p> <p>It was about 18-20w for me but strangers couldn't guess until I was we'll into the late 20s..about 25-27w. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444950 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:53:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 444950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>21 weeks here.<br /> I had a bump before but this is when I actually started looking pregnant and not bloated.</p> <p>[attach=1616/12/mexlte.284x600.121711164025.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444864 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:05:32 +0000 Smurfette 444864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was 18 or 19 weeks before the bump looked like a pregnant bump and not just like a beer gut. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444863 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:03:56 +0000 BelugaBean 444863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was earlier but looking back it was probably around 20-22 weeks, possibly later since some people couldn't tell when I was around 22 weeks. I didn't get my first comment from a stranger, however, until like 30-32 weeks (although people had to notice). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444862 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 13:02:54 +0000 JoJoGirl 444862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday! :) No seriously. I think it became noticeable to my family around 15 weeks and a coworker told me today (16w4d) "If you are wondering if you're showing, the answer is yes". :-/ Um, thanks? It's my first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444857 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:57:01 +0000 lolabee 444857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 22-23 weeks, after looking back on pics? It really depends on how you're built I think. I have a long torso. The only time in my life when I've seen a benefit to having short legs ;) </p> [attach=2692/12/mexj72.450x600.IMG_0040.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444844 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:48:42 +0000 oliviaoblivia 444844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a really short torso and showed enough for strangers to comment when I was 15 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444841 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:47:24 +0000 blackbird 444841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People who knew me were guessing before 12 weeks. I'm almost 25 weeks and just recently do strangers start to feel comfortable asking when I'm due. </p> <p>Your coworker's also on her second! That counts for a LOT! I think that's why I showed so quickly, and then just kind of didn't grow a lot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444838 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:46:26 +0000 rachiecakes 444838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>somewhere between 18 &amp; 20 weeks </p> [attach=1845/12/mexipe.338x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444837 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:45:32 +0000 jennylynn 444837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started showing around 16 weeks. Not enough for strangers to probably notice until around 20 weeks though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-to-show-3#post-444801 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:21:14 +0000 Bao 444801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone is different, here is me at 18 weeks for comparison!

A coworker is 12 weeks with #2 and looks more pregnant. </p> <p>How far along wereyou with your first when you really started to show? </p>
