9 weeks pregnant with #3 and I swear my mid-section is jutting out way beyond the point of disguising. People must be starting to gossip because it's insane. I'm trying to hide it until 12 weeks though.

I seem to remember all my clothes getting really tight and uncomfortable at around 8 weeks when pregnant with DS2, but I started out heavier back then. So is it strange that I feel like I'm popping out already? When did you start to show? Was it earlier with subsequent pregnancies?

6 weeks with both kids. I've always been thin though so it's noticeable right away.

With my first I probably did not start showing until at least 20 weeks. But with each subsequent pregnancy i started showing much sooner.. With my third I shot a maternity campaign for Target at 13 weeks-so yea, i looked pregnant alright!

Around 14 weeks with my first, and 8 with my second.

1st: 12 weeks, this one was much sooner around 9-10 weeks. Banded bottom tops and blazers worked wonders for me in keeping it hidden.

Early, early, early. I had swollen ovaries from fertility tx with DS1, so I had some extra fluid. I was showing by 8-10 weeks. It was earlier with baby 2 and 3.

Even in my first pregnancy, by the time I'm 20 weeks I have a big old basketball looking bump. By 40 weeks, I'm just huge. I'm 5'2" or so, and have a short torso/longer legs, so everything gets pushed out in front.

By my third pregnancy, I was measuring 4-5 weeks ahead by 15 weeks or so, so I got sent for a "twin check." It evened out later on in my pregnancy.

:yeahthat:

I'm pregnant with my third right now and I started showing at about 8 weeks. I'm 22 weeks pregnant right now and it is VERY noticeable. I began to wear maternity clothes at about 12 weeks. I was told that it is normal to show earlier with each pregnancy.

Lol. I'm not pregnant and I'm still showing. (To answer you question though, anywhere from 8 to 14 weeks. And even once I was showing not everyone can tell- depending on my clothes. This last time, someone was surprised to hear I was pregnant, and I was 18 weeks.)

I definitely showed much earlier with my second. I can't remember dates, though.

With DS #1, I was wearing regular clothes until 20 weeks easily. With DS #2 (I'm pregnant now and due in Dec.), it was killing me to hide it at work through the entire first trimester. I felt like I was wearing mumus! I probably started showing around 8 weeks or so...

I'm a freak, I guess. I showed fairly early with my boys but wore my regular jeans and could easily hide my bump until about 25 weeksthis last time. I was heavier to start but only a 12, I wonder if it was more position than anything else.

With DD1 I was about 17 weeks, with the baby we lost about 10 weeks, and thankfully with DD2 I waited until around 15 weeks to start showing (I wanted all of my test results back first)

Eh, it actually really sucked to be honest. I had never been treated so badly on a shoot before :( It took every ounce of mental strength to go do this job because i was coming off of our loss and newly pregnant again. I never thought a client like T would be so awful.

I've heard a lot of people say they showed much earlier with subsequent pregnancies than they did with the first one. I just sold my maternity clothes to someone who hasn't even been to the doctor for her first visit and she already needs maternity clothes (#3)! I started wearing maternity pants at probably 16 weeks, but even then I wasn't really showing, it just wasn't comfortable to wear regular pants anymore.
