When Did You Start Showing?
Posted: 03-01-06 08:39am

I am wondering when to expect my belly to start showing. I feel silly saying this but it actually looks like I have a little pooch and i'm only 8 weeks. I'm going to florida in two weeks (10 weeks preg.) and on a cruise in mid april (15 weeks preg.). I wanted to see if I should buy maternity clothes or regular clothes.

I am17 weeks along and I am showing a lot. However I was pregnant in 2004 and they say that if it's your 2nd kid you will show a lot sooner. But I don't know about that. I was about 20 weeks with my last child. It all depends on the person...Some people are able to wear their regular cloths until like 7 months. You will have to see how you grow. Dont' buy cloths until you grow because you might misjudge your size and my have to buy bigger after you have already bought a whole wardrobe. Just enjoy your time being small still.....And remember rubberbands and safety pins go a long way

I started wearing maternity clothes in jan, I was about 13 weeks. My own clothes were just too tight in the belly. I started showing maybe abouit a week ago.

I am 15 weeks and I do not fit into my normal clothes...But matenity pants are too big. Just buy stretchy pants / skirts. It is so annoying being in the in-between stage! This is my first child too.

No go to target or target.Com if you dont have a target they have the best pants ever theyre under loungewear and they are so soft and comfy and they come in black (or they call it ebony) and like a charcoal gray they have a roll down top so you can roll them to stay or when u get bigger pull it over your belly to keep it in

I really dident start showing until I was 12 weeks along. At 15 weeks, I don't know if you'll need maternity clothes. I am 20 weeks along and I have my maternity stuff now, but..I just go and buy stuff in large and xl. Works just as well I think.


Good luck :)

After going to the doctor, we figured out i'm almost 6 weeks. So by then i'll be about 12 weeks. I bought two maternity capris that you can wear the whole nine months from target. I also bought some men's lounge shorts and a few xl cotton capris to wear with tanks and tshirts. I'll see what it looks like the weekend before and maybe buy a few things.
Thanks for all the responses.

It all depends on your body... I didn't show until 25 weeks....A long time I know and yet the baby is a healthy size!
