With the first one, it was after 20 weeks, but with the second, it was already after about 6 weeks. I didn’t have my belly get smaller hahaha, quite the opposite even.

    I had a little bump in the first few weeks, but that was because my intestines were being pushed forward. Now that I'm 21 weeks pregnant, I have a pretty small bump. In the morning, I also feel like my bump is smaller.

    My belly started showing at 13 weeks. I'm now 24 weeks and have a nice round belly. In the morning, it's normal for your belly to be a bit flatter than in the evening. The more you eat during the day, the more your stomach pushes your baby forward. Some women just have a more visible belly than others. Greetings

    Hi, with me, I had a baby bump really early on. And that wasn't so great... because then I had to tell people already, even though I didn't want to.

    Now at 23 weeks, I look like I'm 7 or 8 months pregnant. So people don't ask as much anymore, you know...

    With me (first baby), you could really see it from around week 9. But I always have quite a difference from morning to evening. In the morning my belly is fairly flat, and in the evening after dinner it's much bigger (really bloated). That difference is still there during this pregnancy.

    You can already see my belly from week 11/12. I’ve really popped :-)

    For me it was around 12 weeks, but it happened so fast!!
    After 2 weeks I really couldn't hide it anymore, had to adjust my clothes right away otherwise I looked fat instead of pregnant.

    The last ultrasound even startled the gynecologist with my belly, even though I barely gained any weight.
    But I think that really varies from person to person..

    I suddenly started getting baby bumps around 10-11 weeks, and from then on I started wearing maternity pants because my regular jeans hurt my belly.

    My boyfriend was amazed at how quickly my belly could get so round; at first, he even thought I was already a month or two further along than we'd guessed But the OB-GYN confirmed (we'd estimated 13 weeks) that I was 12 weeks along.

    Now I'm 16 weeks, and I don't think my belly has grown that much bigger in that time, but I do notice it's starting to show a bit more now. I also notice that in the mornings it's a bit flatter. I have to admit, I was quite surprised at first!

    hey

    with my first, my belly didn't really show until the very end.
    but now I'm pregnant with the second one and after 12 weeks it suddenly grew quite fast, so at 16 weeks I already have a little bump.
    I love that because with the previous one people just thought I was getting fat. hihi
    greetings

    For me, it's really showing now, and I'm 22 weeks tomorrow. It's been really visible for a week now. Before, it depended on what I was wearing, and in the morning it was still pretty flat. I have to say that from week 16 onwards, I had trouble buttoning my jeans.

    I could already forget about those jeans at 8 weeks!!
    They just pressed too much: I miss him so much!!!!
    Haha but I'm way too proud of my little round belly!!

    My belly is really starting to show now. In the morning you can hardly see anything, but by the end of the day... pfff. Most people around me are starting to notice it too, judging by their reactions. I'm now 19 weeks along.

    Hi, I already have a good bump and am almost 19 weeks.
    But that's actually the best part about the bump. And it's a bit tough when you already have a belly because there's still quite a while to go.

    I'm 14 weeks pregnant and my belly is already quite visible :-)

  15. love my girl! #16

    I'm 13 weeks today and my belly is already pretty visible

    Hi,
    I still don't have a bump, but my jeans don't fit anymore. Every day I check the mirror to see if there's anything visible, and on the scale too—nothing yet.
    Maybe not bad since I still have to tell them at work.

    I was already 10 weeks and 4 days pregnant before we even knew we were pregnant... and I have to say, my boyfriend actually made a comment a few weeks earlier: "Your belly is getting bigger, sweetheart..." but we didn't really think much of it since I was still getting my period. Meanwhile, others would jokingly ask, "You're not pregnant, are you?" and we'd just reply, "No, not for another year or two." Well, those jokesters were actually right So my belly started showing before my 10th week, but we don't know exactly when

    Hi girls,
    I'm still waiting for my belly to show up.
    So I can show it off. At work, they're already joking that I'm not even pregnant.
    And on the scale, nothing yet. I actually weighed less during my 3rd ultrasound than during my 1st. Without feeling nauseous or needing to throw up.
    In 3 weeks I'll have 2 weeks of Christmas break. I hope I'll finally have a belly after Christmas, so I can tell my students.

    Greetings,

    L.

    It wasn't showing much at all for a long time (first baby), at 16/17 weeks my jeans didn't fit comfortably anymore and I started wearing maternity pants. After the 20-week scan, it suddenly got really noticeable and it was clearly visible to the outside world that I was pregnant and not just a bit fatter Now at 29 weeks I already have a real baby bump! But otherwise I haven't gotten much fatter, from the back it's not noticeable that I'm pregnant.
