With my son I started to show at about 10wks. not a lot but I def. had a little bump. I am also only 5'2 pretty small frame so I think it all depends on how big your torso is as to how soon you'll show. Good Luck! and congrats!!!
When did your belly start to pop out?

I had a small bump around 17weeks and thats when I would say I started to show a little. It wasnt till about 20 weeks when you could really tell, and now at 26weeks you can definantly really tell.
I was of normal weight to start off with and I started to feel Noah moving around 16weeks, it was just flutters but I still knew it was him, then just increased more after that. At 20 weeks was the first time I felt him kick from the outside, and @ 22weeks hubby felt him, its hard to catch Noah at times. But he is getting more active and hubby is starting to feel him a lot more, and now you can see him move my stomach and stuff, its really neat!

I am almost 26 weeks- and you can definately tell- I guess around 22 weeks other people could start to tell although at about 18 I could tell. Its easier to tell in bra and panties or naked than in clothes first. Im heavier and yes I still feel the baby move all the time. Shes still when Im active and active when Im still :)
I never had a bump...so you couldnt tell I was pregnant!! Didnt have any cravings either or morning sickness so I didnt have any "normal" pregnancy things! My mate who was pregnant with #3, due 6 weeks before me strated showing at about 20 weeks. I ended up having my daughter at 33 weeks gestation so she is actually 7 weeks older than my mates son
CJ wow you never showed. Are you really tiny?
I go along with Meghan, I was about 13 or 14 weeks when I could kinda tell but looked pudgy and looked like I was just gaining weight to others, even at 10weeks I had a small small small bump but only could tell in a bathing suit.
I really started to need maternity pants around 20 weeks or so, I was still using the Bella Bands some till then and even use them now. They are great :)

i work with a woman christine, and when she was younger and pregnant with her first child she never knew. this was about...11 years ago, so i think she was about 18. she was thick, but by no means 'fat'. lol
she said only a couple times she felt something move and thought 'could i be pregnant?'
she said she never got a bump, she even went shopping the day she had the baby and bought a cute dress.
she had normal periods all way up until about 6 months, so when she did take a pregnancy test she thought she was only like 10 weeks along... oh no, lol she went to the dr's a few weeks later and they told her she was full term. she had the baby the NEXT DAY.
i think thats a funny story, and its completely true, im good friends with christine. She still swears to this day that she never knew she was pregnant until about 6-7 months along with she finally stopped having periods and put that together with the weird movements she sometimes felt in her stomach.
she is really tall about 5'9 and she never her bump was basically non existant, i saw pictures.
Crazy...

i know. when she told me i didnt believe her at first, but i know she wouldnt lie about it, and her mom even confirms the story. her mom said when she made it to the dr's after christine called her to tell her she was full term, she walked in the room and christine was crying and when she looked up and saw her mom, her water broke. the next day she had a baby.
it sounds surreal, and according to her it was.
yea her daughter was fine, shes totally normal 11 year old girl. very sweet.
she said she probably didnt know because she had a period each month up until like 7 months, and she was young and stupid, and honestly didnt think she could be pregnant. either way, the fact that she had a normal period, and that she didnt have a bump is very weird. she said she never even went up in pant sizes or anything, but she was kind of big about 180 and they say the larger u are the less noticable the belly and the less weight you gain overall...
idk thats just a crazy story i tell it any chance i get. haha

That is so crazy! Glad all went well though.
Yeah the bigger one is the less weight you gain and less you show usually. The smaller you are the more you show and the quicker and more weight gain...usually.
I was of normal weight, and @ my 6 month appointment I had only gained 6 pounds so far. I will be 7 months on August 30th, so im anxious to see how much I have gained to the docs. To me I think I only gained another pound or 2. So we will see. Im getting hungry more often at times, and I know right now is when most put on the weight, and then towards the end lose it as your stomach can hardly hold that much, either way I dont care, just happy Noahs healthy and im healthy.
I will lose the weight once he gets here hopefully with no problem, once I get back on Birth Control I will lose probably 10 or so pounds, as it helps my PCOS and makes me lose weight...its great :)

sweet! ill probably never go back on birth control. it messed me up so bad. i gained 80 pounds in 4 years of being on it, and it made me MISS my period for 13 months after I came off... and now I dont ovulate. I'm like wtf?! lol. I don't ever want to be back on it. I dont care what they tell me, and I don't care if I get pregnant again right away lol. I've been off birth control for 2 yrs 10 months and Im still not pregnant. So needless to say I hate birth control. All those years I paid to not get prego and now im paying TO get prego. lol. weird.
I'm glad you and Noah are healthy! My best friend Jesi is 13 weeks pregnant and she's lost 14 pounds so far because she was so sick and had no appetite. but its coming back now and she will gain it all back.

I dont know if it was all birth control though. Its not supposed to mess you up that bad, now the Shot and all that can. When I got off birth control this last time my cycles just kept getting longer and longer and longer, and then had my annual pap @ 6months into TTC and found out I have PCOS. The birth control acts like a medicine in helping control my PCOS and help keep me having regular periods which is good for everyone to have normal regular periods. Its hard to have that when you are TTC and everything is messed up, unless one ovulates great and has no issues.
I cant wait to get back on it and lose the weight again, because from March 2007 the start of TTC to March 2008 when we finally got a sticky pregnancy, I gained 20-25pounds, because of my PCOS. It sucked! So I know once I have Noah, and then get back on birth control I should lose the baby weight quickly because I eat really healthy not pregnant, right now I dont want any of the stuff I used to eat, and then once I get back on birth control should be where I was when we started TTC. Cant wait :)
Im sure your friend will gain most of it back and then a couple more pounds but not much over that. hopefully she only gains that 25-35pounds thats recommended. Im praying I stay at the 25 or so :)

lol its funny cuz im so anxious to get pregnant i dont even care if i blow up like a float in the Macy's Day Parade. hahahaha.
Idk, every woman is different. I know I've been to the Dr's 3 times since I came off birth control, i never asked them to check me for PCOS, but they did all the normal checks that they do. They would notice if I had it right?? But I didnt have a single period for 13 months after stopping brith control. then I flew to Italy, and it started. I read online that long international flights can make u start ur period lol. and it did for me. But the last 17 months have been irregular still, very long cycles. I know ill get one every month i just never know when and how long or short or heavy it will be. Example: Julys period was July 13-21st, it was heavy and normal, i guess. Then on August 1st I started again! this one went until the 8th and it was very light every day, like spotting almost....
so you tell me. am i screwed up or what?! lol.
im hoping that the clomid make me more regular. I would LOVE to have a 28 day cycle. lol
