how many weeks were you when you
started to see the change in your stomach area, when did it start growing? With my first I didn't notice any changes until around 12 weeks or so, it was almost like my pants got really tight overnight at 12 weeks , then I grew very slowly and I started obviously showing at around 6 months, but I was tiny even at 9 months. I'm 6 weeks now , no visual change so far, but few of my pants are def getting too tight around my stomach area. I wonder if it's true when they say you get bigger and start showing sooner with the second pregnancy ? My sister was like me with her first and she was "huge" (her own words, lol) with her second.

Re: how many weeks were you when you
My sil was TINY before she had my niece and didn't show for months and months. however, with this one, by 9 weeks you could see a bump. They say that's normal with the second baby.
I wish i was like you with your first! I'm pregnant with my first and pants don't fit and I'm only almost 12 weeks.

I wish i was like you with your first! I'm pregnant with my first and pants don't fit and I'm only almost 12 weeks. yes but you never know, in the end you might not gain that much at all. I gained 35 lbs with my first , but you could never tell it was all in my stomach, I never even wore maternity clothes, I just went up a size, I think the fact that it was a summer pregnancy helped tremendously , I wore my regular summer dresses, tank tops with cute skirts or shorts with belts and so on . But with this one I feel like I'll have to go shopping in very near future. I tried on 5 pairs of jeans this morning and 3 of them are way too tight around my stomach even though visually I don't look like I've gained anything at all It's going to be such a pain to shop for fall/winter wardrobe. I don't even know how this is happening , I force myself eat , I have no appetite whatsoever

Re: how many weeks were you when you
I started to look very bloated around 10 weeks. I'm 13 weeks now and none of my pants fit but the stomach still doesn't look "pregnant" it just looks like I gained some weight

Re: how many weeks were you when you
With this baby, #3, I feel like I started showing (or rounding) around 12 weeks. With my previous pregnancies I would say around 14-15 weeks.

Re: how many weeks were you when you
I was bloated but didn't start showing an actual bump until around 12 weeks but it was small and I didn't look visibly pregnant to outsiders but I was able to see the changes for sure. 14-15 weeks was the point I needed the BeBand because I couldn't close any of my pants anymore.
Now at 18 weeks there is a bump and I look pregnant for sure. For a few weeks it was questionable and I felt like I looked like one of those women who looks like she might be pregnant but isn't but now you can tell it's a baby belly.
I'm petite and thin so I wasn't sure if I'd show early or late. I think I started showing around the average time.

Re: how many weeks were you when you
I started a lil bump at 12ish wks. And now at 20wks I think I'm popping but to strangers I probably look like "is she pregnant or does she need to diet?"

Re: how many weeks were you when you
I definitely started to how a lot sooner with this pregnancy vs. my first one. Last pg I wasn't in maternity clothes until about 16 weeks but this time around I was wearing maternity pants at 9 weeks!

Re: how many weeks were you when you
With my first DD, I didnt really become visibly pregnant until about 6/7 months and I never got very big even at the end.
With this pregnancy, I started to show a bit sooner - around 5 months. Now at 7 months, I was comparing pictures with my first and I'm definitely bigger this time.

This is my 1st. I am 12 weeks and while I can still wear regular pants I am not comfortable at all! So as of this week I am in maternity pants.
