When did people start showing?

Hello mamas!

I'm only 8 weeks but already feel like I have a little tummy! Which I didn't think was possible!? I don't feel bloated anymore but my stomach muscles are really sore! I'm a uk 10-12 usually and 5"9 so slim isn build but really feel like just the bottom of my tummy looks different! Not constipated either, but feel like I might just be imagining it! It's such an exciting time, has anyone else thought they were showing or been showing early? I have my first scan tomorrow so hopefully there's just one in there!

I didn’t start showing until around 18 weeks ish but even then people who didn’t know probably wouldn’t of guessed. I bought maternity clothes at 16 weeks but they were still a bit loose but couldn’t fit in my normal clothes.

Good luck for your scan x

I started showing at about 8 weeks, so much so that my sister guessed! It wasn't bloating - I could feel the difference.

I takes me til about 7/8 months! I’m a little over weight but not huge and I don’t gain loads of weight during pregnancy either luckily. I don’t even get to buy maternity clothes.

I thought I had a bit of a tummy at around 8 weeks too, but now I’m 25 weeks I look back at photos and realise that actually I really didn’t 😂 it feels SO much bigger than it looks, I don’t know why but I assumed it’s because it felt different than usual?! I’m also 5’9 and size 10 so I was used to having a flat stomach and the slightest bulge felt huge.

I'm the same height and size as you! I definitely don't have a flat tummy anymore!! I got married a couple of weeks ago and felt tiny in my dress (usual pre wedding weight loss from being so busy etc!). I feel massive now and my bloat at the end of the day looks like bump!

[jenna01 in reply to Hannah27]

That’s exactly what I had! As soon as I ate anything I ballooned out. But honestly, you probably feel bigger than you look and no one will notice but you.

It definitely varies in size as the day goes on. My friends reported the same thing happening to them when I queried it.

Hi well I’m on baby number four (live) but I definitely struggled hiding this one lol 😂 I’m 4 months pregnant now and some people don’t notice but when I point it out they’re in shock lol. I couldn’t wait to get my my scan as I couldn’t hide the bump no more. My other 3 daughters I could hide til at least 4 months even with my 3rd pregnancy and I only had a little podge this one is a round ball lol. I now wear t-shirt dresses as they are comfortable and light with this weather at the moment. Xx

First child (IVF) so I was on extra progesterone which made me really bloated for the first 12 weeks so I already had a bump! I'm now 16 weeks and I'm showing a proper bump minus the bloat - it's quite rounded already. I love it though, can't wait until it pops out properly.

I didn't show until 27 weeks, even then it wasn't obvious. It looked like id eaten too many pies. I was a heavy gym goer though and had strong abs x
