in My baby was born in Nov 2012
just wondering if anyone else is showing already? Im convinced that i am already. i can't keep my jeans done up and my tummy is sticking out loads. i was made redundant in Feb so not been wearing work clothes for about six weeks so when i put them on for a new job this week i looked like i was bursting out of them! Hubby said i was just being silly and hormonal but then someone at my new work commented about my pregnancy and i was so embarrass ed as i wasn't planning on telling anyone until after my twelve week scan..Im only eight weeks on Tuesday. i wasn't showing until 17 weeks with dd

    Nope, I totally agree! I had a tantrum this morning as my favourite jeans didn't fit. I'm only 8 weeks but defo a podge! I started to show about 12 weeks with DS so always showed quite early on. We took DS swimming yesterday and hubby even said i looked pregnant in my cossie! Hubbies letting me go shopping tomorrow to get some new stuff. I really can't wear maternity clothes now can I? Xxx

    i know im so tempted to go and get some underbump jeans but am worried that ill tempt fate by buying things too early. Also i worry people will notice the band and I dont really want to tell anyone until ive had a scan and know everything is ok. On the other hand im really uncomfortable wearing normal jeans and put joggers on as soon as i get home! The only maternity jeans ive got from dd are ones with a massive bump band and I think theyll be too hot at the mo!

    This is my first baby but I am now showing! I went holiday shopping yesterday and had to buy shorts and a skirt a size bigger! I'm now using the hairband trick on my jeans cos I don't have a hope in hell of getting them up. I'm showing as much as my friend was at 16 weeks! I have weighed myself daily and I've not gained an ounce. In a way I'm happy cos it's lovely to start looking PG but I've got to try to hide it for another week til I have the scan! xx

    That's what I was thinking, but I really need some, and I can't really wait. I've seen some real nice red maternity jeans on m and s website that i might order. I've told very close friends and family, so I don't mind wearing maternity wear around them. But I'm going to get some more leggings and floaty tops to wear around the people who don't, oh, and keep a low profile and keep making excuses I think. Had to turn down a mums night out on friday. I met a real good group of mum friends though breast feeding support group when I had DS. 3 of them are pregnant with 2nd babies so there was plenty of drivers- would've looked odd if I didn't drink image

    I am now 14 weeks and started showing at 8 weeks, I went to the doctor and they thought i was further along, but it turns out i am expecting twins. I have a very noticeable bump and people started commenting on weather i was pregnant or not. I didn't show until 4-5 months with my first child. x image

    My clothes are definately getting tighter, but unfortunately I just look podgy, not pg yet! I think I'll make it to 12 weeks (just 10 days to go - yay!!) but I'll def be in maternity clothes a lot sooner than I was last time. If I could only step away from the chocolate.....!

    I'm looking obviously pregnant now. Having to hide my bump under big baggy jumpers (thank god it's cold!!) as I'm so not ready for work to find out yet. I didn't show with my last pregnancy until about 7 months so I'm terrified it's twins especially as they run in my family!!
