showing

hi ladies

a somewhat general question for you all, when did you first start to 'show', and what do you think is 'normal' (although i know there is really no such thing). was there much / any difference between first and second (or more) babies, for those of you with more than one? (or expecting number two.)

i'm starting to show a little, although most of it is probably 'flubba' as opposed to 'bubba', but it kinda rounds things out a little LOL my pants are definitely getting way too small and i'm getting some real maternity ones shortly. i'm kinda excited about getting a bit more rounded, so people can really tell ! crazy eh

anyway, take care folks ! happy holidays to everyone.

oh yeh i think im in the same stage i have an obvious bump people can tell i am preggers but its still flubba and not bubba yet i think having lots of cramps lately so i think things are really starting to grow and move haha

I showed at around 20 wks with Xander(1st) but was more like 12-14 wks with Harmony(2nd)

OK, That must mean i am strange then. I am only 9 wk 4 days and already have a definite bump. I was plodgy before hand, but it has really filled out and is a lot tighter. I get pains too, i know it's early, but i reckon its bubs moving. Would that sound about right ? (btw, thisa is my first)

It was at about 10wks when i got a definite bump and it definitely looked like i was pregnant, so trying to keep it on the down low became real hard and everyone soon found out. I think everyone is different, depending on their shape and size pre-pregnancy.

I think I started showing at around 9 weeks-ish. I'm 15 weeks today *yay* and my Godson's older brother (age 4 going on 40) said to me last night "Auntie Toni, You're getting fat!" LOL lil' bugger.
But I am indeed, I've been feeling heaps of growing/stretching pains this week and my belly is starting to feel harder!
For example, today I'm wearing a shirt that 3 months ago was verging on being a bit big... Now i can't do up the bottom button

I started showing at around 12 weeks - by 18 it was very obvious, and now I'm HUGE!! I was pretty small before pregnancy tho.

Yeah...I find every so often I get funny almost light crampy sort of stretchy feelings...it was a little unnerving at first and I was a little worried but I've been told it is perfectly normal...

Thanks guys, it's nicew to know i'm not the only one showing early. As i say, i had a bulge before hand, but now it's definately baby. Its really funny coz if i'm walking around, my tummy goes all hard, and if i'm lying down, it softens. So the pains i'm getting are just stretching? OK Kewl, i do have a feeling i will feel movement early though. Mum felt me at 11wks and i'm the eldest. But then as you say, everyone is diferent. I'm just so glad for this forum! lol

haha I remember trying to wear maternity tops when I really didn't need to. I was just so excited about having a bump! Had to tie them up at the side or back to make sure everyone knew I did actually have a belly
