I was wondering when everyone started to show?
And what about streatch marks?

I am 10weeks 5days I feel my pants getting snugger but im not really "showing"

streatch marks I have some marks on my tummy that a red like the blood flow is increasing, I have them on the side of my breasts too!

I think it might be because im heavier and I already have some extra chunk to me lol!

I started to show around 7 mos, really show like you could tell I was preg and not just chunky. And I didn't get stretch marks until I passed my due date. I was 10 days late and got stretch marks in the last couple days.

I'm 15 weeks 4 days and feel like i'm still going through that "fat" chunky stage :(

my pants are tight and when I wear a tight shirt, I just look chubby and I can't suck it in....Best way to describe it....

I started my chubby phase like a 10 or 11 weeks.....I wouldn't call myself as "showing" yet.....Well to other people at least....I can tell, but to others I probably just look like i'm eating too much!! :)

how many preggo's out there, or used to be preggo's just sort of woke up and looked really pregnant, and how far along were you?? I heard thats sort of what it's like!!

You can always like unbutton your jeans and wear a belt... Or the old rubber band trick... Personally to me I was showing at like 8-10 weeks and my mom noticed too but nooo one else did...

To like the public eye I only looked like I gained alittle weight but didnt show show till like 4-5 months
