I have a very small waist but didn't start to show until about 5mths. I couldn't fit some of my regular trousers from about 16 weeks but no one else really noticed (although they may have noticed I was a bit chubbier...not that they'd admit it!)

I have huge boobs (10G)and a small waist (size 8-10)so when my tummy is bigger than my boobs i might look more pregnant than 'fat'....
I think i was about 6 months with my fisrt when strangers noticed, and this time depending on what i am wearing still look 'fat' ... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Wee bump at 14 weeks, though looked like I'd eaten too much at Christmas. By 17 weeks, had baby bump rather than podgey bump but had also learned what tops made me look podgy and what ones made me look preggy. ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

I was starting to show at about 4mos but only to people who knew me. I didn't get any strangers ask until 6-8mos, and when I had 3 days left to go with Hannah, ppl asked me how long I had left to go thinking it was another 4-6 weeks ROFL! I was like, "umm well I'm due on Monday but I've had my show so anytime now" hehe might have freaked some ppl out now that I think of it  -------------  |

I didn't tell my dad I was preg with Maya till 19 weeks and you couldn't tell then, I think I popped out about 24-26 weeks.
With the gremlins I had a very obvious bump from about 14 weeks, but I was measuring 10 weeks ahead the whole time so by 25 weeks looked like I was almost due. This time I am bigger all over than I have been with the last two pregnancies so I think I just look fatter altho I can definitely tell that my tummy has expanded. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

For me it was about 25 weeks, but then again I carried really small (and all over unfortunately  not just a bump, but a butt, thighs and boobs - damned chocolate!) and strangers didn't think I was pregnant until I was about 7 months, and even then they thought I was only a few months along.

Me too. The day before I delivered I probably could have hidden it too as I only had a wee bump. ------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">

We went to our first AnteNatal Class and I was worried that they would all ask why I was there, and that I had 'eaten all the pies'.
I was lucky enough to make it until 34weeks in my normal work uniform (my pants were being done up under the bump) I had a little bump before then, probably 20 weeks when B started moving but nothing major -------------
