  • i think most people do show earlier 2nd time round - down to loose stomach muscles - (Great). I hardly showed at all with my first till about 22 weeks - but with my second i started showing at about 15/16 weeks. with this 1 people could tell at about 12/13 - although i just thought i looked a bit podgy!

  • Hi,
    not sure how far gone I am yet, but doc seems to think just under 12 weeks.
    I'm showing quite a lot already, in fact I feel huge lol.
    With my first pregnancy, I didn't show for a while, I think maybe its because the first time round, I had quite a muscly stomach due to running miles and doing hundreds of sit ups every day (teenage phase i think lol).
    I reckon my stomach muscles held my first bump in for as long as possible and this time round because I have just been eating crap and not exercising, even though i'm not fat, I don't have that tautness that would probably otherwise keep everything in the right place! image
  • with my first I didnt show until about 20 weeks but with this one I showed at about 12 weeks, although I just looked a bit fat lol. I'm not particularly slim though, I'm a size 14-16.

  • i didnt start showing, well enough for people at work to start asking questions untill i was about 18/20 weeks gone! n didnt have to buy maternity clothes untill january 24/25weeks!! but on that he is my first & i used to do horse riding & karate quite alot n a bit of circuit training at college so stomach muscles were quite firm! but as you do, i got lazy! lol stomach still stayed toned but you couldn't really tell! used to use my dads excuse of it's relaxed muscle! lol, at this time i was a 14-16, mainly coz i'm a pear!!! lol

  • Thanks for everyones replies hoping i get a bump earlier, but like some of you i do have quite strong stomach muscles even the midwife commented on that the last time i was pregnant i did exercise quite a bit back then though, don't exercise as much now don't have the time, my muscles are probably weaker now, just can't wait to get a bump!!
