When did you start showing?

And when did you have to start wearing maternity clothes?

Re: When did you start showing?

It will be different for everyone but I was using Bella bands until today.

Today is my 1st time wearing maternity pants to work.

(I did ware maternity capris last weekend, they are from Old Navy and are still big.)

Re: When did you start showing?

The bloating got a little too much at 12 weeks and then I really was showing at 18 weeks. I started wearing maternity pants at 14 weeks and the tops at 23 weeks.

Re: When did you start showing?

I started really wearing maternity clothes at like 19 weeks. Started showing around then too, but I didn't really start showing until 22 weeks or so.

Re: When did you start showing?

I was bloated at 10 weeks, but really noticed my belly growing at like 13-14 weeks (my pants didn't fit anymore so I started wearing the bella band with regular pants). I bought maternity clothes at about 16 weeks and starting wearing them w/the bella band to hold them up...along with some other regular pants that still fit.

My first "are you pregnant?" question was from a person I see about 4x per year, that was at about 16 weeks (i had on a clingy shirt and my belly was always flat)....at 17 weeks strangers noticed too.

Re: When did you start showing?

By 12 weeks I was wearing Bella Bands and a few maternity items. I was pretty much in all maternity clothes by week 28 or so.

Re: When did you start showing?

I was able to wear regular shirts for a while but even they got short fast. I started wearing maternity pants at 16 weeks I think.

Re: When did you start showing?

17 weeks and I go back and forth between maternity and regular clothes. I won't wear anything that is not syper comfortable and so far I am not crazy about the Bella Band. I think I got the wrong size.

Re: When did you start showing?

I am 15 weeks and my smaller pants are out of the question.

I haven't started using my bella band yet, but will have to soon. I just bought some pants a size or 2 up.....no maternity yet.

Re: When did you start showing?

At 13 weeks I caved and bought maternity tops. I was wearing regular pants and the bella band until about 15 weeks.

My jeans are low cut so I can still wear them with the bella band.

Was asked if I was pregnant at 14 weeks.

Re: When did you start showing?

i think i started to look PG at around 20 weeks...before that it looked like i just gained some weight!
i bought my first pair of maternity jeans at around 14 weeks...i just could not sqeeze into my regular jeans anymore at that point.

Re: When did you start showing?

I guess it was noticable at around 15 weeks or so. Before that I just looked chubby.

Re: When did you start showing?

i think i started my maternity clothes around 13 weeks or so...it started with the pants...

and this morning i sadly realized i can no longer fit into my regular shirts

Re: When did you start showing?

i'm 20 weeks and still waiting for this belly to really appear. i can still get away with regular clothes with belly bands but started wearing maternity last week bc its just more comfortable.

Re: When did you start showing?

i like to think i started showing at 15 weeks, but i don't think anyone noticed but me my friends and family told me i just looked like i "ate too much pasta"

most everyone concurred that i *really* started showing at 17 weeks.

Re: When did you start showing?

i can still hang in and wear my reg clothes that were not my tightest stuff before i got pregnant.... i do have a couple pairs of maternity pants that i wear that are so much more comfortable - so i think i am going to have to give in soon and make the move...

im 16 weeks now - and i think i really only started looking pregnant this weekend - it was like i went to bed on friday night and woke up with a little belly....

i love it though!!!!
