I had to buy maternity clothes at 17 weeks but I didn’t start showing til about 20 weeks but even then it wasn’t that obvious x

I started showing at about 14 weeks, I'm now 21 and look like I'm about 8 months pregnant. Some of it is bloating as I have severe IBS, made worse by the pregnancy, but a lot of it is baby. I also have quite bad stretch marks which reflects how quickly my bump has grown. Everyone is different though, and its not something you can control. I have a big bump which is nice as its obviously I'm pregnant, but I also have stretch marks and am getting scared about how much bigger I'm going to get. I reckon I'll also start feeling uncomfortable soon, especially in the hot weather. So what I'm trying to say is that the grass isn't always greener. As long as you have a healthy baby thats all that matters.

I didn’t start showing till 5/6 months pregnant I’m now 8 and half months pregnant. It all depends on you and your body. But as long as your baby is healthy and you are too I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy xx

Not always the way though, depends on you as a person. You’ll get bigger in the last month or so that’s when the baby puts on the weight xx

My first 20 weeks... it takes a while ... don't worry you'll get a bump and then at the end you'll be wishing that baby would stop using your belly like a boxing bag 😂

I’m 21 weeks and only just started showing! I’m kinda lucky I can still fit in my skinny jeans. One thing I’ve learnt throughout pregnancy is that every one is different x

I didn’t start showing until about 20 weeks, but was in maternity trousers from around 14 weeks as they were more comfortable. I’m glad that I was a late show because I’m a teacher and it meant that we didn’t need to tell the kids or parents until 20 weeks. I then ballooned the rest of the way through the pregnancy.

I’m like you I can’t wait to be showing but it’ll happen soon. Congratulations
