When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

I don't mean where anyone would notice. I mean, your pants get ever so slightly snug or you feel like you are almost extra bloated. If you have more than one child, did it happen sooner than with your first?

When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

12 weeks, 1st child

When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

With #1, I lost so much weight that I didn't notice a baby bump until sometime after 20 weeks. With #2, around 9 weeks I noticed my belly was rounder.

With my first I was wearing regular clothes(jeans included) up until my baby shower. With my subsequent pregnancies 9 weeks or so but I did IVF(FET)
So the progesterone shots bloat you anyway.

1st by 8 weeks my pants were too tight.

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

It was probably around 14 weeks that I switched from my pants to leggings and tunics and dresses. Before that it was just a little grapefruit in my lower belly that made it look like I was PMSing.

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

about a month ago when i was 8 weeks i was sooo bloated that my pants felt tight. now that bloat is gone (mostly) i think i have some more time before i need to switch lol

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

I was in my regular jeans comfortably until 13 weeks with my first pregnancy. This time around, I wore my jeans at 10 weeks but I wasn't comfy sitting down so I'm in leggings now (11w3d.)

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

leggings are me best friend lol

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

With my first, I'd bloat in the afternoons. By around 13 weeks I started wearing maternity pants, but I didn't actually start showing until well into the 20s.

With my second, I never bloated in the afternoons, but I had a little bump by 13 weeks.

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

I would say around 11-12 weeks I couldn't really button my pants comfortably anymore so I got a belly band and I was able to stretch out my regular clothes for another 8 weeks until I finally caved and got maternity stuff.

This is my 1st btw.

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

At 17 weeks, I had to switch to maternity size jeans. But now at 21 weeks, I can still fit into my work slacks but they are getting snug. So by next week I better get some work pants lol

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

This is my 4th pregnancy and all 4 I would say around 10-11 weeks I wasn't able to button most of my pants. I am only 11.5 weeks now and I use a hair band to hold my pants together, however I do have ONE pair I can still button so I have been those jeans a lot!

Before I was even PG. I was going through fertility treatments a few months before so my clothes were already tight

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

As soon as I found out I was pregnant both times, I could feel myself starting to get bloated pretty soon. Not enough for anyone to notice or for my pants to really be tight, just a slight bloat that didn't go away. So by like 7 weeks or so I could feel the difference.

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

My regular jeans got tight around 16 weeks with # 2.

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

9 weeks

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

I think it depends on what type of pants you wear.
I wear tight pants (dress slacks).
Wore them til about 11 or 12 weeks (third pregnancy) & then ponied up & got maternity leggings.

I could still fit into my yoga pants, but they don't look good.

I don't wear jeans.

When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

Eh I got out of jeans as soon as I could. I'm pretty sure the bloat just took over!! I'm a vegetarian so I think I got bloated way worse than most with all those veggies. Also was backed up for DAYS. Seriously. So I went into leggings ASAP. Now I'm at 17 weeks and I am out of pre-preg leggings and comfortably in my Lululemon High Times leggings and some small maternity leggings.

Re: When did you start feeling like your belly was growing?

I did IVF so I got bloated from all the meds so I would say 12-13 weeks.
