When did you start showing/weight gain?

[smile123]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering when you all started to show or put weight on? Just curious...

[raogbole]

Hey I started to show very early around about 11 weeks or so xx

[well]

15/16 weeks, had to use a bobble to fasten my trousers.

Hey Smile123

I'm almost 11 weeks. When I look in the mirror my bely seems huge - but more like I just ate too much! According to my scales I haven't gained any weight, by my skiny jeans will no longer do up and even my non-skinny ones need to be undone before I attempt to eat dinner :o)

Just waiting for my booking appointment and 12 week scan and when I know for sure everything is all good I'm going shopping!!

I started gaining weight quite quickly and am showing already at 14 weeks. I was showing right from about 10 weeks though

[Rachelhaley]

With my other pregnancies didn't show much til quite later on, but third time round, by the end of the day I have a bump and thats at 5/6 weeks!! Already finding my skinny jeans uncomfortable.. Bit worried I will be gigantic, im only 4ft 11!!

[raogbole]

Im now nearly 27 weeks , and cannot wear any of my old clothes! Had to buy bigger size leggings and trousers , as everything will not fit!

I am almost 20 weeks and while my clothes are tight I am not showing yet, I was a bit worried but the doctor said everything is fine and everyone is so different. X

[smile123]

Thanks. X

I am 15 weeks and am already showing. I am still wearing my own loose fitting clothes at the moment though but have a feeling that wont last too long. x

my husband and sister in law both knew i was pregnant before i tested as i bloated very quickly..so from 3 weeks pregnant, i was showing quite a lot..i am now 6 weeks pregnant and look as though i am 6 months, even though i have lost 5lb through sickness - however, this is my 6th baby, so you would expect to show quicker

[gemmw]

i started showing at 3weeks... Im 6weeks now.. And ive put on 10lbs in 3weeks... And i am massive... Boobs hv gone up 3cup sizes already! Send me a msg with ur email if you want and i can send u a pic of my bump... Xxx

My bump started showing almost immediately, but I'm a bit of a weirdo when it comes to weight gain during pregnancy. Basically, I tend to lose some weight initially (which I put down to giving up runny cheese and wine!!), hold steady apart from exploding tummy, put on some weight steadily through last trimester, which I lose again during breastfeeding. Wait - sounds like a dream, right?? I thought I'd got off sooo very lightly after my first pregnancy. Then, bam! put it all back on plus a little after I stopped breastfeeding. Thought I was completely nuts, until chatting with my mum, and she's casually agreeing with me ... ' oh, yeah - I did that with all three of you' ...

And you never thought a heads up worthwhile mum??!!

So, second time around, at 29 weeks, I'm back to where I was at the same time during my first pregnancy (fitting into my skinny jeans for the first time since not long after my first baby arrived), and just starting with this round of weight gain ... and wondering where I'll land after the breastfeeding stops!!

I bloated before I knew I was even pregnant, although saying that, I bloat every month anyway, but my feet were very swollen as I had oedema too, at nine weeks I had to buy two new pairs of trousers as nothing fit me, I'm on week ten and live in pjs if I'm not out. I've swapped semi skimmed for skimmed milk this week, got even more fruit and humus plus raw veg to make sure that its not me just eating too much fatty stuff without depriving bump. Saying that I've already got some stretch marks on one of my boobs. No designer bump for me, I've just inflated. :/

Everyone is different, im 11 weeks i believe, dating scan this week and i have got a bump which is why i have had to tell people close to me as they started to notice i have gained some weight. I cant fasten any of my trousers so ive had to borrow some trousers from a friend for work until weve had our scan. Once i know everything is ok im going shopping for some new trousers! haha

However my friend is 22 weeks at the min with her 3rd pregnancy and with all three she never looked any bigger throughout. She has a bump in a morning but when she has been to the toilet its gone as a full bladder pushes it forward.

With her last one, at 38 weeks she was still in size 8 clothes and could fasten them easily! Im hoping im as lucky as she was haha

Good Luck x

I'm 10 weeks and I think I have a bump - my boyfriend just thinks I'm eating too much!

Scales say I've only put on 3 pounds but it feels like a lot more.

I guess I'd go with what your clothes are telling you rather than the scales and if the idea of getting too big upsets you just tell yourself you shrunk your clothes in the wash xx

[luckyclucky]

Have put on 2 pound in the past week and trousers that a few weeks ago were falling down constantly are now very snug! I lost some weight this year so seeing LBs sneak back on was a bit disconcerting at first but it'll all be worth it!

Hi smile123!

In my first 12 weeks I actually lost 10lbs! Although my stomach felt permanently bloated from about 10 weeks!

I felt like I noticed a bump from around the 14 week mark, but my family seem to think I've only started showing in the last week (I'm now 25+6 weeks)! And weight gain has came out of nowhere, despite not particularly changing my diet - between 12-25 weeks I've put on over a stone!

Everyone is different so don't worry if you seen big/small. Everytime I seen my grandma until yesterday she would give me a lecture on how I'm 'not eating enough just because I don't have a massive bump (yet!).

Hey between 8-12 weeks I lost a stone due to nausea and sickness!! I’m now 16 weeks and only just starting to look slightly pregnant but nobody at work has said anything yet!! Jeans getting uncomfortable when I sit down but that’s it!!! I think I’ll be atleast 20 weeks before I start showing properly! And I’m only small myself!

My first pregnancy I showed really early as I was really skinny and ate everything in sight!!!
