Hi evryone's different - i showed very early on and had to move into maternity clothes by 3 months - other people I know have hardly been showing even quite late on.
i was showing by 10 weeks n i loved my bump!
I'm 17 weeks and bought maternity jeans last Sunday - so relieved I did, was so uncomfortable in my normal jeans, and when I put the maternity jeans on - felt immediately better!
Haven't changed into maternity work clothes yet - still have a couple of pairs of trousers that work, but suspect it won't be long. I like having a pregnant tummy! And frankly - I LOVE my maternity jeans!!!
I didn't start showing until 20 weeks!! Felt like I was missing out lol but I've seen people who have little bumps at 12 weeks!! Just depends who u are I guess..x
Hello there, you've probably had your baby by now but I thought i'd pitch in :) I just looked a little chubby and then in the space of one week, I ballooned into a full on preggo and had to ditch all my clothes, it was amazing :)
Hi, is it normal to feel stretched at 11 weeks. I feel stretched & my stomach feels tight. Most of my clothes are getting to tight to wear. As this is my first pregnancy I'm just wondering if this is normal, I didn't think you started showing this early.
Yeah we're all different. I felt stretched too. I was wearing comfy clothes from early on and moved to maternity at around 3 months as it coicided with getting them for my birthday presents.
Definitly enjoy the fuss..
hello, like some one has said, we are all different, i started showing with both of mine at 8 wks, sounds unreal, but i had lost 1 1/2 stone due to a virus first time around, litterally two weeks before i found out i was pregnant, and even then midwife had a feeling it was twins and sent me for a early scan - only one was there! 2nd time around i was fighting fit and one morning i couldnt do my jeans up - again midwife sent me for an early scan - just the one. its nice to show strait away, although there is no hiding a secret! but saying that, it felt like a very long pregnancy. good luck and enjoy the fuss!
Hi Mel, I don't think there is a norm, it's all to do with our protection instincts, we "pad" out to protect, that's what a nurse once told me, some of my friends didn't show for 5 months, but I went into maternity clothes at 3 months with my first and I am also 11 weeks and need looser fitting clothes now! It doesn't mean you will be massive, just that your tummy has come out sooner.
