Well it felt like almost immediately but other people noticed at around 8 weeks.

Like 8-9 weeks, but could still be hidden. I've been in maternity pants pretty much since then...my jeans wouldn't button almost immediately. Some of my slacks will still button, but they are terribly uncomfortable by the end of the day

Early!! I think around 8 weeks I noticed a bump/bloat.

With LO1&2 my butt grew a ton in week 5. I was in bigger pants by week 7. I wasn't showing until 5 months for LO2. It was 6 months for LO1.

Bloat hit around 5 weeks and I want to say I whipped out the maternity pants about 6 weeks. But I show early!

I'm about 5/6 weeks now and have on a kind of fitted dress and I asked my husband this morning if I looked prego or chubby and he said "well I don't think you would be showing yet".... I just sent him this thread bc I know I didn't get this bloated belly in the last 2 weeks from just eating!

No joke, I had to loosen a belt the day before I found out I was pregnant. I was sitting at dinner going, I don't know why I'm so bloated. And tired. Took a test the next morning.

But someone asked my friend if I was pregnant by 8 weeks. I could hide it a little longer than that but in a tight shirt you could tell by then. And stuff got tight immediately.

@JoJoGirl: congrats!!! I started showing super early with my second (I'm 30 weeks now) I know I was in maternity pants much sooner, like, 11/12 weeks!

@JoJoGirl: I will say, it's not like my stomach was very tones to start with- there were no muscles holding that bloat back. But my very fit friend is also showing really early with her second and she has strong abs.

I started showing immediately and was called out at work at 8 weeks.

Also, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Really late again - with LO1, I started getting questionable looks around 24-25 weeks, and looked definitively pregnant around 28 weeks. With LO2, I started getting questionable looks around 20 weeks and looked pregnant at about 24 weeks. I'm tall and thin but I have a very short torso so I don't know where my babies were hiding!

Congrats on baby #2!

ETA: a picture at 20 weeks with baby #2 - I may be the anomaly but it's not always a given you'll show super early second time around

@Foodnerd81: lol this is so me. Nothing not hold the belly back since I put zero effort into my abs after LO1.

Definitely by 10 weeks. I'm petite and showed early with my first by 13ish weeks.
