Hello ... I just wanted to take a poll on when ladies started showing. When could others tell you were pregnant?

Happy Holidays

Great question Lacy. I can't wait to see what everyone has to say. Congrads on your 13 wks!

I'm only 8wks, but you can already tell. This is my second pregnancy so I guess that is normal?? I have been holding my pants together with a rubber band. My DH thinks I have lost my mind. I don't want to buy any cloths yet, I guess I'm afraid something will happen.

I started wearing maternity clothes at 10 weeks, however people didn't start to realize that I was pregnant until about 17 weeks.

[shb24]

I started wearing maternity clothes at about 15 weeks and showing at about 17-18 weeks.

Jen, I'm so glad to hear that you started wearing maternity pants at 10 weeks because I'm 11 1/2 weeks and I was feeling guilty for wanting to shop for some this weekend. Even with the bella band, my pre-pregnancy pants just aren't working for me anymore. I feel like it's so obvious, but the people who I've told at work say they can't tell yet. Crazy!

[jenedens6102]

Amy, I noticed a lot of bloating early on and just wasn't comfortable in my own clothes. While maternity clothes were a little big at first they were so comfortable and definitely worth the investment. Comfort is definitely key. I didn't NEED them that early but I wanted them. I was still fitting in some jeans at 20 weeks, only now do I not fit into any of my old clothes.

I thought I was showing the day I got my BFP. But nobody really noticed until I was about 20 weeks. I've made it through my entire pregnancy with just buying maternity pants and getting away with tops in XL (thankfully fashion is on my side with empire waists and I live in FL- so I've worn the same things since summer)

I started showing around 18 weeks, wearing maternity about then too. However, I ate A LOT of ice cream in the 1st trimester so there was a lot of weight and not much baby!

i just bought maternity pants at 15 weeks. they are still big on me - but SO much more comfortable than my little jeans i was trying to squeeze into with the bella band! i actually got called out on being pregnant by a complete stranger today for the first time. it really shocked me. so i guess i am officially showing now.

[Kellileanne]

I started buying maternity clothes at 10 weeks and people who knew me well could tell by 12 weeks. Most customers didn't say anything till atleast 18 weeks and depending on what I was wearing some didn't say anything till 6 months!

[MustLoveDogs]

I think I started to really show when I was around 10 wks pregnant. I never used the bella bands, so I started wearing maternity pants very early in my pregnancy. They are just so comfortable.

I think i started showing at 12 - 13 weeks. Started on maternity pants at around 17 weeks. Still use bella band but it is uncomfortable. Waiting for my new maternity clothes to arrive...i ordered them online.. as nothing seems to fit me now and i want to be super comfortable.

Lacy,
I started wearing maternity stuff around 10 weeks and people have already started noticing and asking about my pregnancy....its been like that since I crossed the 12 weeks mark...but people close to me could tell byaround 10 weeks!

I started wearing maternity pants around 8-10 weeks LOL and just this week have a few people noticed my belly. I seemed to "pop out" last week.
