When did you start showing ?

I am 16 weeks this Friday... thats 4 whole months ! Time flies by ! I am upset that I still have no bump though... although when I turn to the side I have the smallest bit of puffiness ! When did everyone start showing ?

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

Same like mine.... i am about 6months now and i am just showing..... even some times my husband says oh your stomarch is small i thiught it will be so big by now....

[Chels976 in reply to Pat01]

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 16 weeks Monday I feel you this is my 3rd baby and my first two I was showing by now but this one I just look like I’ve put weight on 😏

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

I didn't start noticing a difference until 19 weeks, my fiancé noticed about 18 weeks. I didn't get a proper bump until about 22 weeks xx

My first no sign till 21 weeks then went huge. Second started at about 17 18 weeks Nd my third I was showing at 10 weeks in only 13 and 3 days but look at least closer to 20 weeks
