Im at a weird in between phase where maternity pants don't stay up yet but also my belly bands are not holding my regular pants up as well. So no matter what I walk around pulling my pants up all day.

This is me. My maternity pants didn't actually stay up until late third tri last time when I gained a ton of water weight after 32 weeks. It was a pain and a struggle. It was next to impossible to find the next smallest size in pants in petite so I didn't bother trying buying them
I still have some leftover from my 15 month old, mix that with a stomach that bloats the moment I have one bite of anything, and add pregnancy to the mix. Yupp. I've been looking pregnant for a while now.

No baby bump here I lost 15 pounds before I got pregnant so all of my regular clothes still fit. I'm very happy my work clothes are still very loose so I have a while before I have to buy maternity clothes.
I've been in maternity pants for weeks. The demi panel works really well at this stage of the game. I'm pretty sure my bump is mostly the result of my terrible first tri diet. Trying to eat more veggies and walk more now!

@osw I'm in the same boat lol. I was blessed with wide hips and a narrow waist. So my blump is just filling out the part of my pants that's normally too loose lol.
TMI Wednesday: I only look pregnant on the days I'm constipated. Pregnancy is so glamorous sometimes.
I haven't been able to wear regular pants for weeks. My maternity pants don't fit great (I have all full panel, maybe I should try some demi) but it's either that or wear yoga pants everywhere.

I have a bump if you want it to be there, but really it's mostly just leftover flub from when I had my daughter. It's pretty firm, though, so it's the start of a bump, I think. But not enough to take a HDBD pic yet.
I didn't start showing with DD until I was about 25 weeks. I'm hoping I will earlier this time since I'm starting this pregnancy 60 lbs lighter than I was when I started that one, plus it's my second. But I think I still have a while before I look obviously pregnant.

I pulled down my winter clothes today. I've lost about 15 lbs since last winter, so I'm really hoping they get me through the next few months, along with a couple pairs of the demi-waist mat jeans. I'd like to wait until Dec to buy new maternity clothes and then get things that will get me through third tri in cold weather.
Ya I've got flub going on, which I blame on being almost bed ridden the past month. I can feel the top of my uterus but no bump. I also look 5 months pregnant by bed time, all bloat. Looking forward to a real bump!
I looked back at my photos with DD and week 24-26 was when my bump appeared, so I'm curious how much earlier I'll show this time.
14w4d by LMP, but basically 15 weeks based on ovulation.
A lot of this bump is mushy, but it's definitely WAY more than I had at the beginning of this. Technically a FTM but *loss mentioned* with my previous pregnancy I ended up at 20 weeks with a cystic placenta that took up a lot of space so I'm wondering if maybe I'm showing larger/sooner due to that?
M/C at 7 weeks on 2/14/12 M/C at 6 weeks on 5/1/12 M/C at 5 weeks on 8/8/12 C/P at 4 weeks on 12/12/12 C/P at 4 weeks on 2/13/13 Loss due to Trisomy 21 at 16 weeks
IVF / FET June and July 2014 - BFP 8/9/14 It's a girl! Rainbow baby born 4-14-15
To all STM+, I've been told we'll show sooner with all subsequent pregnancies because of the relaxin that's released- our muscles "remember" how it was when we were pregnant before and relax sooner
With my first pregnancy, I started bloat around the time I lost the pregnancy but barely (~11w).
With DS, I popped just before 16w, but it was obvious I was bloating/gaining weight at 8-10w. This time... well, it's not a pretty sight by 3-4pm
I don't really have a bump yet, but my tighter-waisted clothes are no longer comfortable. I stopped at Target tonight to get a belly band, and dear god I wish I'd picked it up last weekend! Maybe I can make my suits fit a bit longer now.
