Hi everyone, I'm curious: when did you start noticing your belly 'showing' during your first pregnancy? How far along were you?

    20 weeks with my first
    My 2nd and definitely my 3rd showed much sooner.

    At 26 weeks, someone finally dared to ask if I was pregnant, haha.

    With the first one, I already had that feeling around 5 to 7 weeks like, "what a relief that there are maternity pants." I had the idea/feeling of having a belly pretty early on. With the second one now, I could wear regular pants for a long time and only really started seeing growth around 16 weeks or so. (After that, there were quite a few growth spurts.)

    With me, I saw it right away with the third one, and with the first one, it took until around 15 weeks.

    From 22 weeks you could see “something” but it looked more like a little tummy It wasn’t until 27 weeks that you had a proper baby bump, and now it’s still pretty modest in size.

    It took quite a few weeks for both the first and second time. I think I was 6 months along and there were still colleagues who hadn't noticed (or heard) that I was pregnant. You tend to feel earlier that something is visible, but the top-down view can be deceiving.

    With me, I noticed something from 14 weeks onwards, and now it's happening really fast... I'm almost 18 weeks pregnant and already have a nice little belly showing

    With the first one, it was at 21 weeks, but with the second one, it really felt a lot earlier. Haha.

    31 weeks in the first pregnancy and in the second pregnancy (twins) from 2.5 months.

    With the first one, I thought I could already see something at 13 weeks. But the midwife and my friends didn't see anything (I personally had quite a tight belly back then, so it was 'not quite tight' anymore, you know, I thought it was already quite a lot). Strangers started noticing or daring to say something around 24 weeks.

    After my first pregnancy, my belly was never completely flat again. And now at 7 weeks, I have to be careful what I wear; I'm leaving the tight dresses in the closet because I've got quite a little belly now, especially in the evenings!

    I was here at 29 weeks.

    That sounds like a pretty weird feeling, Saartje. Like you really feel it's a big deal, and your friends don't even notice during swimming. Pretty cool that you've got a bit more of a belly now, right? I'm really proud of you! Do you have a photo?

    This is my first pregnancy and I’m normally quite slim... But at 8 weeks I could already really see/notice it!

    So very early on - but it’s a twin pregnancy
