Impish Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'm asking again, anyways :tongue_smilie: How early did you start 'showing'? I'm 11 wks w/#6. I swear my proportions are changing. Nothing dramatic, just...feeling differently. Pants fitting different, etc. My family is no help. Diva's been telling me I've been showing for wks. Rotten teen. Wolf won't say anything about me showing til I can't see my feet anymore.

Veritaserum Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 By the 5th and 6th ones I was in stretchy pants by 7-8 weeks and full blown maternity pants with a baby bump by 12. My 12yo thoughtfully told me that I still looked pregnant a couple of days after my youngest was born. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justamouse Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 After #3, it was almost immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhaddon Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It seemed very early compared to most people. I always carry a ton of extra babyweight and gain around 60lbs, but it is gone a few months later after breastfeeding. People always have some dumb comment to pregnant people, I swear. WIth my first I showed early too, second was super early, I didn't show until 6-7 months with #3 for some odd reason, and super early with #4.

Impish Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 Ok, good to know I'm not imagining anything, LOL! I could still wear my jeans a few days ago, but they def weren't fitting as easily as they did a wk or so before, LOL! And they were loose before that! I see a whole lotta jogging pants wearing in my future :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Dup. Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It's very common to show earlier the more you have. I have never shown until 20 weeks until this time (#7). This time I was showing at 8 weeks. I have friends who have a sizable bump that is obviously pregnancy related when they are only a few weeks pregnant.

UrbanSue Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I have four and I'm not sure I've really ever stopped showing 23 months later . . . :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 After #3, it was almost immediately. Yup. I'm pretty sure the rule is this: #1 You feel like you'll neeeeeever get into maternity clothes. #2 You can't believe how soon you need to break out the maternity clothes. #3+ You can't re-button your pants while you're still waiting to see how many lines are on the stick. At least, that's how it went for me. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommylawyer Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I'm currently 23 weeks with number 5; I started needing my stretchy clothes around week 10 and wearing maternity by week 12. When I was expecting number 4, I was in my maternity clothes by week 10 - he was a big baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 by child number 3 I had to go into maternity clothes from week 8. I am pretty thin normally and wear fitted clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Child number 4, I was in maternity clothes by 9 weeks. I didn't necessarily need them, but they were much more comfy. AND, they made me look pregnant and not just FAT!!!! But, I was the smallest with her pregnancy than any of the others. I looked like I had a volleyball under my shirt! I was that cute pregnant lady!!! Finally!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
