I started showing in a pregnant looking way at 13wks. Before that it just looked like fat.

I didn't start to show until I was about 18-20 weeks.. I thought I was huge at 16 weeks but now I realise I wasn't as big as I thought I was!

Random people started commenting since about 22 weeks though which reassured me I looked pregnant and now I'm very obviously showing!

Pants - im 5'9" and me and DP started to see it about 9 weeks. jeans button undoing happened about 13 weeks and obvious to other people about 14-15wks. i lost 10 kg in about 8 weeks from my really bad MS so that made it easier to spot as well lol. ]]> Fri, 16 Oct 2009 10:00:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=808156&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#808156 <![CDATA[When do you start to show? : For Pants.... as you would understand...at...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=807787&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#807787 Author: AandCsmum

I was showing by about 14wks...... people actually started asking me if I was pregnant then so it must have been obvious. I'm now 23wks and REALLY pregnant looking! Have had to uphaul my wardrobe and buy bigger sizes to fit over the bump! I think it is probably so obvious cause I've put on no weight anywhere else so It's all just baby! I'm slim build and 5"10 so I look kinda like a snake that has just eaten a goat lol that's what my dad likes calling me anyway! ]]> Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:59:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=807726&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#807726 <![CDATA[When do you start to show? : Haa I love all the stories -...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=803823&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#803823 Author: Pants

Haa I love all the stories - 'started to undo the top botton' ... 'just looked like I ate all the pies' ... 'popping out' ... love it!!

Aliasmum 25 weeks is amazing - I'm going to hold out for that (like I have a choice!)

I'm 5ft 7in, with a big athletic type frame, this is my 1st pregnacy and I could still fit most my pre gregnancy clothes until I was 18 weeks, I hid it fairly well untill  26 weeks  (people still couldn't tell I was prego) then all of a sudden my belly just popped out, came as a huge shock that it could happen so fast, now there's no hiding the bump....

Pants, I'm tall, not as tall as you & both my pregs I showed late. I'd say 25 weeks (2nd Preg) is when it started looking more like a rounded belly rather than fat.

I got married at 16 weeks with #1 & expected to be showing but definitely wasn't! ]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 21:21:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=803004&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#803004 <![CDATA[When do you start to show? : I only really started showing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=802960&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#802960 Author: High9

I only really started showing recently (about 18weeks), although no one has asked if I am pregnant yet but I've been told by people who know me that I am starting to show. I'm not tall (about 165cm).]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:35:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=802960&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#802960 <![CDATA[When do you start to show? : Looking back at my photo&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=802947&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#802947 Author: tiptoes

Looking back at my photo's I thought it was so obvious at 9-10 weeks, but now I think maybe 22 weeks I looked pregnant, before that mainly just chubby - especially to others with my clothes on. From there the belly seemed to start growing really fast every week and hasn't slowed down!]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 20:17:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=802947&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#802947 <![CDATA[When do you start to show? : Pants - I started taking photos...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=802931&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#802931 Author: RinTinTin

Pants - I started taking photos from 5 weeks. By 10 weeks I had to have the top of my pants undone, but from the outside nobody could really notice any different.

People started actually noticing my bump at around 16 weeks I think.

Well I was trying to hide my bump at 12 weeks (Hadn't told the MIL yet), but looking back now it really just looked like I was having a fat day lol.

I'd say I started looking pregnant rather than fat at about 17 weeks, and every now and then I look down and it's popped out further again lol. There's no mistaking my bump now - especially after eating!

ETA: I can still hide it if I want to though - It's just getting rather hard to do

I felt like I was showing from about 14 weeks, but I don't think I really was. It was about 28 weeks before people were confident enough to ask me when they noticed my bump, but even so, at 29 weeks I had lunch with an exec from work who didn't notice at all so it can't have been that obvious. I think I'm quite the hippo now though!

Heya - congrats!!

Well with Bethany I was very small. After a day of food sometimes I'd look like I had a bit of a tummy on me, but other than that it wasn't really until I was well over halfway (I forget how far along, maybe heading into 3rd trimester even?) that people could assume (rather than be too scared to ask in case they were wrong!) that I was actually pregnant! The really nice thing was that at full term I only looked about 6mths pregnant which was so much easier on my system!

To be honest, I was gutted I didn't start showing earlier, but in the end I was so glad I was small cuz it made it a breeze. Plus no stretch marks! And lovely that Bethany weighed in at 6lb13oz. So far I think I'm heading the same way with #2 It's hard to tell though, it's so different with everyone! Hope that helps? All the best with your pregnancy, must feel so good to have passed the 12wk milestone ]]> Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:18:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=802877&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#802877 <![CDATA[When do you start to show? : Sorry, I know someone asked this...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29290&PID=802863&title=when-do-you-start-to-show#802863 Author: Pants

Sorry, I know someone asked this a few weeks back but was wondering when everyone started to show ...?

I'm only 13 weeks and pretty sure I'm not showing yet. I'm pretty tall (5ft 11in) so am assume there might be a bit of extra room in there so I might not show for a while ... but then what do I know?
