I don't mean, standing in front of the mirror and looking at your bare belly.. I mean, when do you think it became noticeable to others that you were most likely pregnant? And did people ask about it? I'm worried about this because, well, I'm not overweight or pregnant and yet, I've been asked if I am a few times...it makes me self-conscious especially since we won't want to tell anyone for a while!!
-
I looked just plain fat for the first 6 months or so. Then my belly popped and I looked pregnant. It was summer so I hid under flowy dresses.
-
I had a little belly at 4 months, but it just looked like a pot belly and I didn't really start showing until 5 months with Charlie.
With this second pregnancy, I started getting offered subway seats at 11 weeks! You definitely show a lot faster the second time around.
-
It was about 6 months with my first, but like Mrs. Bee, my cover was blown at about 10 weeks with #2!
-
I didn't show FOREVER with my daughter. I was 32 weeks before it was noticeable, and I blew up in those last few weeks. I remember the difference in one week from being able to see the numbers on the copy machine at work to them being totally obscured by belly! And it went away quickly, too. I was totally flat bellied when I left the hospital- just loose skin. We'll be trying for baby number two soon, and I'm interested to see how it goes then.
-
hmm well, I'm 20 weeks now and those who know me know what I have going is a baby bump, but I don't think a stranger would feel comfortable coming up to me asking just yet. It looks like I had a lot to eat or maybe just have a big belly.
-
I'm 18 weeks right now & just look fat-ish
This is my first, so I'm not sure when I'll "pop", though I would like it to be soon. I want to look pregnant, dangit.
-
Seeing I already have "belly fat" it didn't really show show at 4-5 months. Until then yes I was pregnant but people could of easily thought I just had lots of belly fat.
I definitely don't like the first few months. You don't fit in clothes, you don't look pregnant and everything seems weird. (apart from any pregnancy symptoms you may be having)
-
Not until about 6 months.
-
I'm four months and people tell me I'm showing. Depending on what I wear it's more obvious some days than others. I also naturally have kind of a big belly, so I could go either way: pregnant or simply gaining weight at an alarming rate. I carry all my weight in my stomach so I could easily look pregnant even when I'm not. I prefer to chalk it up to the baby, though.
-
With N I started to show close to 7 mos. With Baby #2, 5 mos.
-
I don't think it was noticeable until 19-20 weeks but even then I was told I held him well through almost 27 weeks before it became really noticeable.
-
I think I look quite pregnant right now (at 5 months) but everyone keeps telling me I look tiny, so maybe I'm not showing as much as I think? Probably more noticeable to me than other people, anyway.
-
I am 20 weeks going on 21 weeks this Sunday. I don't think many strangers notice. I feel like some may look and wonder if I am, but so far I look like I have a small basketball under my shirt.
-
Belly: at about 17 weeks
Boobs: at about 12 weeks, lol -
You could kinda sorta tell when I was 20 weeks along, but it wasn't until 24 that you could really see it through my clothing. After that it was a pretty obvious bump. Starting out though, it was easy to hide, if I'd wanted to.
-
I think I popped suddenly around 14 1/2 weeks. One day I just looked chubby, the next day, it was hello belly! I prob still look questionable to strangers, but it's def noticeable to those who know me.
-
I really started showing when i was 5 months you could tell i was pregnant.
-
With my first pregnancy, I started showing around 20 weeks. With this second, I just started showing about two weeks ago, so around 27 weeks.
-
I didnt show until about 7 months. Then I popped almost overnight. Even at 40 weeks I still had a small belly
-
i started showing at about 4 months
-
Wow, I thought it would be much earlier.
I'm 13 weeks and anxious to start spreading my news because I don't want my belly to beat me to the punchline....but maybe I have nothing to worry about. My plan is to tell (Facebook official) at about 16 weeks. -
I think about 5 months but I was able to hide it from most of my coworkers until 7 months by the way I dressed.
-
I'm 18 weeks now and everyone says I don't look pregnant at all (I find it obnoxious, lol). I dunno when other people will actually notice but I feel like the fact that my boobs have gotten HUGE (so far I've gone from a large B to a solid E) is masking it. My boobs are gigantic compared to my belly!
-
It wasn't until 20 weeks that a stranger acknowledged that I was pregnant. I was leaning against a wall at a store waiting for my husband to finish checking out and a security guard asked if I was ok. He looked at my belly and said "You need a chair!" with great concern. It was pretty sweet. I assured him that I was fine.
-
I think my belly popped to a noticeable level at around 18 weeks. I was a tiny bit "fluffy" before, so maybe that made a difference. I'm 20 weeks now and people have started commenting on me looking pregnant.
-
I'm 17 weeks pregnant and so far most people havent noticed. Not even the people I work with. I'm 5ft 11 and very slim, and have a long torso. My belly is definitely protruding now and is rounded where it used to be very flat, a lot of my shirts and pants dont fit but no one seems to have noticed. 2 pregnant ladies at my church hinted at it but thats about it. My mom said she always had a small bump but always gave birth to big babies. I guess this means I'll have less stretch marks?
-
It depends how you carry. My SIL just looked overweight her whole pregnancy. No one ever asked her when she was due lol, but she was thin pre-pregnancy.
Another friend of mine was so thin, she didn't show until 37 weeks.I had a basketball belly at 4 months but I still could conceal it with a peacoat.
-
I started showing around week 15, and now I'm 20 weeks and def have a bump.
-
I just looked like I was getting fat for the first 5 months then I finally looked pregnant... I really hope it is different this time lol
-
Around 18 weeks or so...
-
Oy vey. I'm 7 weeks and just feel fat. I hope I "pop" early so that people don't just assume I've replaced all meals with oreos and coke. Seriously. I can't handle the bloat.
This is my first, so I'm not sure when I'll "pop", though I would like it to be soon. I want to look pregnant, dangit.
