Are you showing/when did you start to show?

[greenball]

I'm 8w1d (thought I was 9w2d but had dating ultrasound last week) and I'm just not showing ANYTHING. It probably doesn't help that I have a little space tire already going, but I keep waiting for SOMETHING and while I read that it's normal to not show until at least 12 weeks, it makes me paranoid. 

So, are you early September girls showing at all? If you are a STM, do you remember when you started to say "Hey, I think that's a bump?" 
My pants do feel pretty tight but honestly, I see ZERO bump.

With my first, I was around 14 weeks before I showed. My second was somewhere between 10-12 weeks. Totally normal for FTM to not show until 12 weeks or after.

With my first I was well into the 2nd tri before I started showing. With my second, I was late first/early second trimester, and with my third I was showing mid first tri. Basically, with each pregnancy I started showing a little earlier each time. With this one, I don't even have bloat yet so I have no idea when I will start showing.

Don't be in a rush. Savor the non-bump phase. There will be plenty of time to savor the small bump, medium bump, and humongous (get this baby out of me already!) bump.

I will get a little more bloated, but won't show anything until 12-14 weeks. With my 1st I think we revealed to our families (out of state) around 13 weeks and I still wasn't showing yet, but maybe looked a little chunkier, if that makes sense?

After my last pregnancy, I have diastasis recti (basically a big space between your abdominal muscles from being stretched out), so I kind of always look pregnant a little bit.

Nope nope nope. I am 9 weeks, STM. First time I showed enough for my husband and I to notice at about 16 weeks but no one else could be sure I was pregnant till closer to 20 weeks.

This makes me feel much better guys - thank you !!

It does suck though, because you really want some outward sign that you are GROWING A HUMAN BEING! You are doing this crazy awesome cool thing and no one notices till you are almost halfway through.

Your uterus is hidden behind your pelvic bone until after 12 weeks so even if people think they're showing early it's usually just bloat/relaxed muscles and not necessarily a baby bump.

With my first I got a small bump around 14 weeks, and then was huge by 20 and monstrous by 40 weeks. People would come up to me at 20 weeks and say "ohhhhhh it must be any day now!!"

This time I'm 8 weeks and I look like I'm 6 months pregnant already but 100% it's all bloat.

I was pretty bloated during first tri, but I didn't notice an actual bump until 14 weeks. And even then, I just looked a little chubby to other people. Others didn't start noticing until about 20 weeks.

Last time I wasn't showing until around 20-22 weeks. Seemed like it took forever. Someone whom I had told I was pregnant kept asking me "Are your SURE you're pregnant?" every time she saw me. {Ummm..., duh. People say the stupidest things to pregnant women.} But then finally I started showing, I guess around mid/late second tri. As PPs have said, when you start showing definitely is different for everybody and for every pregnancy. Don't worry!

I look pregnant if I wear tight fitting tops or tops that fall on it...but I know it's blump. With dd though (first pregnancy) I showed very early. I have a pretty small frame so it seems to just be obvious sooner. Usually I notice around 9-12 weeks that the bloating starts to go down and the bump comes out for real.

Last time (first baby) it's hard to say when I really started showing. Well after 20 weeks for it clearly being pregnancy not just putting on weight. Like, I didn't tell my students until I think 28 weeks or so and no-one had asked me. (Told coworkers and started wearing maternity pants around 22 weeks)

Now, especially after lunch, if I'm lazy about my posture I totally feel like I look about 6 months when I'm really 8 weeks, but that is just bloat and the toddler- weight I've put on over the past year and a half. No way is a berry-sized embryo making that much of a bump!
