Re: when did you start...
I started to show around 14 weeks. That's also about the time I switched to maternity clothes.

Re: when did you start...
When I got conceived.  I think with DD I started showing around 10 weeks and with this kid I think I immediately starting showing. I had to announce to family at 8 weeks because I couldn't suck it in anymore.

Re: when did you start...
I started showing at 17+ weeks and that's when I started wearing maternity pants because my regular ones were too tight. I have days where I feel like I'm barely showing and others where I feel huge.
On a side note, maternity pants make me feel even bigger with the elastic waists and panels.

Re: when did you start...
With my DD I switched to maternity pants around 13 weeks. I was still able to button my pants but when I sat I was just uncomfortable. This pregnancy, by 8 weeks I started with maternity pants..........everything got tighter faster.

Re: when did you start...
this pregnancy 16 weeks, (this week!), so I just started wearing maternity pants since last week I was still fitting into my regular jeans....what a difference a week can make!
Last pregnancy I was in maternity pants earlier, but I also was at a heavier starting weight pre-pregnancy (I think I started wearing maternity wear by 12 weeks?).

Re: when did you start...
I started not being able to wear my normal pants as early as 6 weeks, but I also did IVF and bloated up from the drugs really fast.
At 12wks is when a strangers noticed I was pregnant and commented and by now there's absolutely no mistaking it! At nearly 16wks, I look verrrry pregnant.
I'm petite and 5'.
eta: while this will be my first baby, this is not my first pregnancy. I think that also makes a difference. It's pretty crazy, my belly button is getting shallow and starting to pop from the inside!!

Re: when did you start...
I started having trouble buttoning my pants after 8-10 weeks, but wore a belly band until this past weekend (15w4d). At that point I bought some maternity pants and have been alternating between them and yoga pants.
When I wear a sweatshirt or a coat you can't tell that I am pregnant. Even a tight long sleeved shirt just makes me look like I ate too much for lunch.

Re: when did you start...
Close friends could notice by 9 weeks.
I went back to work in sept at 12 weeks. When I told everyone they said they could tell.
To random strangers 14 weeks.
This is my second pregnancy...first one was twins so I think I was pretty stretched out!!

Re: when did you start...
I think with 1st pregnancy, I didn't really start to show till 16+ weeks- but was able to hide it enough that I didn't tell work till over 18 weeks.
This time, much earlier. I was showing DH at around 11 weeks and he was surprised he could see it. But, again, able to hide it till around 14-15 weeks. I didn't really start wearing maternity pants till after I told work around16 weeks. Though I was wearing the BellaBand for a bit before then. Now, there are a few pairs of pants I can still wear with the band, but just barely.

Re: when did you start...
With my first, around 20 weeks people started to notice without prompting I was pregnant. I can't remember when I wore maternity pants.
I am 16 weeks with my second can still fit in my regular pants and am still not really showing, although by the evening I look like I ate a huge meal. I suspect in another week or so I will pop.

Re: when did you start...
Maternity pants at 8 or 9 weeks. Second pregnancy. I just blew up lol. Honestly, at 16w I still look like I just got really fat. I gain weight in my stomach first anyway. Someone with a keen eye will be able to see a bump through my fat.

Almost 28w is when I started showing, even now according to everyone I'm carrying small but I switched over to maternity clothes early because I found them comfortable. Now at 32w I can still fit in my regular clothes but chose to wear maternity to show off my bump.

Re: when did you start...
I'm naturally small framed but haven't really started showing yet a 13w6 days. However, I've been wearing a belly band because my jeans, although they closed, started to feel too tight and uncomfortable at 9 weeks.
As another poster said, there are days when I feel like i'm showing more then others. Friends haven't noticed yet (or haven't said anything because we're just getting ready to tell everyone).
