I kinda poped out around 16-18 weeks with Sophie, but had a small bump before that. This time we didn't get round to telling people and from about 19 weeks on people were looking at me sideways and starting to ask. By 21 weeks it went without saying. With Sophie I couldn't wait to start showing, but don't worry it will happen soon enough, though I think I was proberbly about 22-24 weeks by the time I stopped asking Kerry if I looked pregnant or just looked fat. ------------- Mother to two beautiful children - Sophie age 6 and Ephraim age 4 |

Yeah you seem to go thru a stage of just looking fat first - well I did anyway! I think I started showing around 20 weeks. I remember thinking I cant wait to get big and preggy looking but you are like that for a looooong time and now cant wait to get back to normal! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I remember feeling a bump from about 12 weeks and then I popped out at about 18-19 weeks. It kind of happened overnight for me.
My question is do you pop out sooner with baby number 2? I can already feel my tummy has gone kind of hard but not a bump yet.....I am only 6 weeks though so its probably all in my head :-p ------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs!

It's proberbly bloating. I had to go up a size in clothes from about 8 weeks this time, and then didn't seem to get any bigger for ages - just spent a couple of months feeling fat. ------------- Mother to two beautiful children - Sophie age 6 and Ephraim age 4 |

With my first i think i was around the 20 week mark with the twins it was abit earlier but not much then by about 25 weeks i was really showing. Make the most of not having a tummy because in no time you will be showing and you will get more and more uncomfortable by the day. Well thats what i felt like when i was pregnant with the twins, can't really remember whats its like to be pregnant with one baby. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

he he, i took forever to show with Paris but you all saw my tummy pics with Ayja, at 18 weeks i was pretty alright sized.... lol then it kinda just plained off a bit. i do remember feeling like i popped out quicker this time, i think it's cos everything's already stretched so you have more room to grow. ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

| I think at around 20 weeks I started to show with Han. By 23 weeks it was definitely not able to be passed off as a beer belly. |

| Just eat healthy while you are pregnant Lissel, and you'll find it much easier after you have the baby. In my first pregnancy, my doctor put me on a diet due to high blood pressure. It was honestly the healthiest I've ever eaten and I lost about 10kg from that. I wouldn't recommened trying to lose weight while pregnant, but you can make sure that you eat healthy, better for you and the baby! |

Janine... I know... eek... Almost a year old! Crazy to think I was big and preggo this time last year though. How times have changed! haha I still miss the belly.
Roksana... I can't believe how fast your pregnancy has gone! (well... for me. I can only imagine it has gone fast for you too?) 3 weeks! It's exciting! Lissel... follow your hunger. Being pregnant I'm sure I was hungry allll the time. Meant that I definitely ate enough for the babe and myself! And a good way to lose baby weight is to breastfeed. I've been feeding for almost 12 months and I'm thinner than when I first got pregnant! (mind you, that isn't that hard considering I put on a lot of weight in first year at uni. damn beer and hall food.  )

I had lost about 10 kg for my wedding and it was the best I had looked in years. Then got preggy straight away  Have put on a lot of weight but hasnt gone everywhere!! Hopefully it will come off easily once bubs is here - have big plans for daily walks as I am a bridesmaid in February 
Hope your scan went well Lissel ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

| I found with Chloe I didn't start to show until about 22weeks and even then I was asking if I looked pregnant of just fat! This time I grew like a balloon by 8weeks people started asking if I was pregnant by 12weeks I was looking very pregnant and I stayed that size until about 25weeks when I started to grow again. |

My 36 week scan was the weirdest - it was like I could see her features almost, all her toes etc. were clearly defined, and she was massive. It was so realistic. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Thats cute....just wait untill you get your 18 week scan or even better the ones where the bub is fully grown....like Emma said at 36 weeks it is all so real, you cant see the whole baby as it is way to big, so you see the hands and then the face ........its just Amazing! I look forward to each of my scan..... and now I am ready to meet her!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| i'm a shocker with scans. the doctor is saying "there's the hands, there's the feet" and i honestly can't see a thing. I'm better with the smaller ones. i got one at 16weeks which i could figure out. anything after that and I have no idea. |
