How far along were you when you started to show? I start to show early, around three months. I am only 2 months now and the clothes are getting snug. [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]I hate the time between regular clothes and maternity clothes. Maybe I could just stay home until I get bigger. LOL

I am almost 12 weeks and I can still wear my regular clothes. However, by the end of the day, some of my pants start feeling snug. This is my first pregnancy and I heard that you start to show faster with your 2nd and 3rd ones. I have a friend who had to start wearing some of her maternity pants when she was only about 10 weeks with her second one and she didn't wear them until her 4th month with her first one...she was quite upset about that!

With my first pregnancy I started wearing maternity clothes around 12 weeks.My regular clothes were soooo tight, to the point that I could not bend down to pick up my pursewith the zipper down.Like wannabeamom said, as the day went onmy pants got tighter and tighter.


With mysecond pregnancy my husband said I started showing at about 8 weeks but I started wearing maternity clothes at about 10 weeks.


Once I switched I felt so much better and more comfortable!

Hi Crystal! This is my second pregnancy and I did start showing much earlier than my first one. I think my regular clothes started getting snug at about 10weeks. Now that I've grown so muchmy first trimesterjeans don't fit me anymore [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img] I've gained more weight this time than I did the last---mainly because I had major complications and emergency surgery at 5 months which made me lost a lot of weight as a result. This time around I may be heavier, but I feel great! [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]


I can only hope that I can get my "normal" body back as soon as possible after the baby comes.

I started showing when I was 3 months with my first child and haven't stop showing since. I would love to know how to get rid of the belly.

This is my third. With my first I was put on bed rest at 6 months with toxemia. I put on a whopping 110 lbs. I had a c-section at 38 weeks and had a 8lb 6 oz baby. I went on a strict diet and lost 70 lbs really quick.


After I had her I got pregnant three monthslater.I was told to quit my job at 3 months because of blood pressure. I was put on bed rest around 4 to 5 months. I had to go to the doctor every monday, wednesday, and friday. I gained about 60 lbs with her. She was taken at 36 weeks and weighed 6 lbs 7 ozs.


I hate to see how big I get with this one. I am just praying it goes a little smoother than the first two.

I only wore maternity clothes with the first. I didn't show start showing until about... 6 months.

The second one I wore no maternity clothes until I was 9 months pregnant, and even then it was only a specific maternity dress. I think I started showing earlier than 6 months but I know my body and so I noticed when things started pushing out. I worked retail so no one really said anything to me until I was 6 months or so because it was obvious by that point that I was pregnant and not just pudgy.

Since I wore almost no maternity clothes this time I just stuck to big tshirts and low waisted junior cut jeans. I worked in a small retail store and was basically allowed to dress however I wanted. So I got lucky there. The first pregnancy I worked in a department store and had to adhere to a particular image, hence why I had to wear maternity clothes that time.
