When did you start showing?

Oh yes with my second baby I looked like a blimp from about day 1 My pants were feeling snug before I even found out I was pregnant.

I felt bigger right away, and I bought new pants at around 10 weeks because my regular ones just seemed uncomfortable. However, other people couldn't tell till later...maybe around 20 weeks I was big enough so I looked pregnant to most others (except the unobservant). I know between 24-28 weeks I got significantly larger and the third trimester I was big enough to feel pretty uncomfortable.

I "popped" at 21 weeks. Now at 24 weeks I look like I swallowed a basketball It did get MUCH larger overnight. I could not believe it.


My first comment was at 20 weeks.. Now everyone feels the need to touch and ask questions But I am so proud, I dont mind too much

DONT WORRY! It will come soon, and then you will wish you could tie your shoes without having to breath deeply afterwards

I was 8 1/2 months and people still couldn't tell....
Or when I told them how far along I was, they wouldn't believe me or thought I was mistaken.

I haven't even gotten any maternity outfits yet. I did go to several maternity stores and tried on some outfits, but I'm just not large enough for them yet. I can still tie my shoes and see my feet with no problem, and although some of my clothes feel somewhat tight around the waist now, I still fit into pretty much all of them.

I heard that your shoes get tight during pregnancy too. Did any of you experience that? I haven't noticed a difference yet.

You should have seen me when I was pregnant with my twins! .. that was the look I got when I left the house () so I quit going anywhere. Just picture 2 toothpicks, stuck in a pumpkin... the toothpicks were legs, the pumpkin the rest of me.. I think that was about in my 5th month on til delivery. 4 months my clothes were tight.. 5th month, I was getting that look..

I was about 110 pounds before pregnant, gained about 45 pounds. (ALL in the stomack) and had 12 pounds worth of babies.

My feet swelled HUGE in the last month, but were normal until that point. I lived in flip flops because that was all I could get my feet in and even those were tight.

My first pregnancy, I could tell a difference in the 4th or 5th month, but people who didn't know me well really couldn't. I think I was probably close to 6 months before I really looked pregnant. My feet started swelling in the 8th or 9th month--just miserable. My second pregnancy, I started showing much sooner, but I didn't have the foot swelling issue too much. I could still wear my regular sandals. My first was a girl, and my second a boy, if that makes any difference at all.
