Plus size Mommy-2-be's

When did you start showing?

I'm a size 22 and i'll be 20 weeks on Sunday and i'm still not showing at all!

Re: Plus size Mommy-2-be's

Believe me I understand. I too was a size 22, and wasn't showing much, just looked like I gained some weight. I popped around 25 weeks. Believe me you will start to show. The baby just has more room to grow when your plus size, that's what my dr. told me, she told me to not worry, that I wouldn't show as soon as skinnier girls. But believe me, you will start to show. I didn't have to buy maternity clothes till around 25 weeks or so as well. Now at 35 weeks, I feel huge, and I am showing more and more everyday.

I started as a size 18 -- and started showing a little bit around 16wks...and really popped around 20.

Now I'm 26 wks and have a pretty defined belly. Though it's never quite a "cute" a bump as our slender counterparts. If I'm not wearing maternity pants, one could just think I'm big around the middle.

Hmm. I'm normally a size 18. I started showing very obviously at 15 and a half weeks. I was wearing maternity about a week later. Now, at almost 30w, I've been OBVIOUSLY pregnant for maybe 6 or 7 weeks ... I was so afraid I wouldn't show but I am clearly pregnant.

I think it's just different from person to person, despite the size you start off at. I know someone who, when she was 9 months pregnant, looked at best 4 or 5 months pregnant, and she was a skinny minnie!

I started as a size 16 and I'm almost 19 weeks. I still have yet to show, pop, look pregnant at all.

It's extremely frustrating because I just want to produly display my tummy for one time in my life and be proud. Aaaaaaaand it's just the same old same old tummy.

Oh well!

I started a size 18 and started to show around 15 weeks. I probably still look just plus size to strangers, but everyone who knows me says I definitely popped a bit and my tummy is rounder. I can really see it in the weekly baby bump pics I do for my Mom who is OOS. I'm 19.5 weeks now and still wearing some of my regular clothes.

Re: Plus size Mommy-2-be's

I'm a size 24 and with DS#1 I started showing around the 18-20 week mark but I and DH noticed it more than it was noticeable to anyone else if you know what I mean. That was the point that I need to start using maternity pants.

Right now with DC#2 I'm starting to not fit in my regular pants but I'm not truly showing. But I'm only 8weeks now.

Re: Plus size Mommy-2-be's

around 26 weeks I really popped and just keep getting roudner and rounder...

Re: Plus size Mommy-2-be's

I started showing at my shower. 28w2d, and sadly I didn't look obviously pg until 2 days before I delivered. I only took 2 bump pics because I was so upset I looked fat and not all cute and preggo
