When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I personally know that none of my clothes are fitting well anymore, and I'm showing a little bit (11 weeks), but I'm hoping I look more PG when my sister is visiting when I'm between 14-15 weeks.

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I think everyone is different but I didn't pop until much later on. I didn't start "looking pregnant" until about 23 weeks. And even at that stage, it all depended on what I wore. Before that, I just looked chubby.

I declared myself to officially be "looking pregnant" at about 28 weeks. That's when it was impossible to hide anymore and strangers were congratulating me. That, IMO, is looking pg.

You can start to "show" a little earlier. Like, at 15 wks, if you lift your shirt to show your sister, she'll probably see a little bulge. It all depends on your size and frame too.

This is a pic of me at 16 wks (sigh!)...definitely did not look pg. But, like I said, everyone is different. Some people show more sooner.

People tell me that I still don't have that noticeable pregnant look and I'm 26 weeks. Here is me @ 18 - (I don't have a 16w shot)

Yes and my friend is about 28 weeks and she looks like jcndd in that picture but a little bigger but not really with a "belly" if you know what I mean.

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

Everyone is different and of course you always FEEL bigger than you really are........I think I started to show at about 24 weeks and now the past few weeks I've been getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger............

I feel like a BLIMP compared to you girls


This is me and 16 weeks and now at 29 weeks

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I did not start showing till I was 20 weeks. Before that I just looked like I was gaining weight. I am having a girl and I gained weight everywhere. My belly was the last place to get bigger.

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

okay I am 7 weeks along and I definitley have a little budda belly! I have pics that I can upload later.

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I had a belly to begin with...so I am now 22 weeks and just staring to show. If I flatten my shirt around my belly you can definetly tell I am pg...

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I'm 15 weeks and I have a little belly.
You girls all look amazing!!

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

This is my second and I looked pregnant at 10 weeks - I'm now 15 and look like I'm much further along LOL.

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I'm 18 weeks and this week someone asked me if I was pregnant. Maybe depends on what I'm wearing and who is looking at me. The person who asked me is a mom, so she knows better.

This is a pic when I was 14 weeks.

Betty you look great!!

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I started showing around 20 weeks - that is when people knew I was preggo and not just fat!

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I would say around 22 weeks it was obvious that I wasn't just gaining weight, but at 25 weeks I popped!

Here is 12, 17, 22 & 25 weeks.

I'm ashamed to say that I was pudgy to begin with and I look like many of you when you were close to 20 weeks.....

I'll take 12 week pics this coming Wed and post.

Re: When do we start to show vs. looking PG?

I didn't really pop until about 23/24 weeks... here's some pictures of me at 9 weeks and 18 weeks.
