Speaking of pregnancies - how fast did you show??
mckayleesmom wrote: Beekay's daughter made me wonder...since she is sooo tiny in her picture.
With Mckaylee I wore my size 10 jeans comfortably until I was about 7 months along. I only owned 1 maternity shirt. I lost 25lbs in my 1st trimester and it took me a long time to gain it back..... Then I just ballooned really fast....so fast my stretch marks are horrible.
With Russell I didn't even know I was pregnant till I was 4 months along. I had also just lost 15lbs.... :rolleyes:It also took me a long time to gain weight with Russell, even though I gained belly, I also never had morning sickness...so I don't know why I lost. .....It seems like right after I found out I was pregnant I got big pretty fast..... 
Here is me a couple weeks before Mckaylee was born
mckayleesmom replied: Those aren't maternity pants either.....they were actually cute pants at one time...till I stretched them out....
Brias3 replied: I was at my thinnest when I got pregnant with Ryan and it still took me some time to show- you could only really see my belly bump at about 6 months. With Aliyah, I didn't show till my fifth month either but by I was also still carrying a couple of extra pounds from the last pregnancy. With Mason, I showed a little earlier- he was a big baby too, nearly a pound bigger than my first two, so perhaps that was a bit of the reasoning there.
mckayleesmom replied: I think I got fatter after having kids more then being pregnant with them..... 
MyLuvBugs replied: Gosh....you all are lucky. With Lorelei I started showing at 13 weeks and had to start wearing maternity pants almost immediately. With this one....8 weeks!!  I actually have a complete maternity wardrobe, a partial transition wardrobe for after the baby is born and then all my skinny mini clothes.  lol
My3LilMonkeys replied: I started showing around 3 1/2 months with Brooke, and about 10 weeks with Madison.
huggybugboy replied: I started showing really early with miles. I was in maternity clothes before my 2nd trimester started. But then I carried him really high, so I had to wear a belt with my lowrise maternity pants pretty much the whole time, because I couldnt keep them up. Weird, i know. Heres me at 9 months, whew I look lovely! 
ETA to remove siggy
luvmykids replied: You look so cute!
Both times I showed around 3 months but the first time around I could still wear regular clothes if they were strechy.
MamaJAM replied: With DD#1 - I started showing at 10 weeks -- was completely in maternity clothing by 15 weeks.
With DD#2 - I started showing around 10 weeks again -- was completely in maternity clothing by 12 weeks.
With DD#3 - started showing at 9 weeks -- and was completely in maternity shortly after.
With DS#1 - I started showing around 10 weeks -- and was completely in maternity clothing by 12/13 weeks.
With DS#2 - I started showing which is actually what prompted me to take a preg test -- I was 6 weeks when I found out I was preg....so I was about 5 weeks when I started showing -- I was completely in maternity clothing by 8 weeks with him.
MyBlueEyedBabies replied: With KAty about 17 weeks, and in Maternity clothes arround then also (lost 40 lbs.)
Matt I have no idea  I think I started showing about 20 weeks and held off on maternity as long as humanly possible. I wore pre-preg stuff until the end if I could get away with it.(lost 35 lbs.)
This time I am now 22 weeks and don't think I am showing yet...just looking fat. FPr clothes I am only in Mat. shirts. I was needing maternity pants at about 8 weeks but it was because I was sooooo bloated, not long after along w/ loosing weight I was down 2 sizes from what was comfortable pre-preg. Right now I can wear my shorts and skirts that are down 2 sizes with teh bella band and about half the time I can wear my one size down stuff buttoned (other hlf w/ bella band). what was fittin gme is huge everywhere but the waist where it is just a little big. And mat. pants look ridiculous on me (25 lbs. this time)
zdk753 replied: With all of my pregnancies I started showing at around 3 mos.
KingMom replied: With Colin, I started showing around 4 months. With this pregnancy though, I've been showing since around 8-10 weeks!
3xsthefun replied: I started to show with Kaitlynn when I was about 6 months pregnant.
Maegan I started to show when I was about 4 months old pregnant with her.
C&K*s Mommie replied: Technically, I began showing around 4mos with C. But it was a 'pooch' and I could easily cover it up. Around 6.5 maybe 7mos was when I was able to undeniably (and proudly) show my belly through clothes. It was more like 7.5mos when it began to show even more and look more like a PG belly.
With K, I showed the PG belly pretty early, maybe around 5/6 or so. Cannot remember for certain, but I know the obvious belly was there sooner with Kel, than it was with Christian.
Chiflata2003 replied: With Cynthia I was like you, didnt need maternity pants/shorts until 7 months along. The last month or so is when I put on the most of my weight.
This time Im fluffier so I dont know. LOL
mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: I don't think it's until maybe 5 or 6 months along that OTHERS can tell I'm PG...but I can see the bump on myself by like 8 weeks along! I like to wear maternity clothes that are somewhat fitted (not tight), so that it's more obvious. I never understood why some people try and hide the bump...it's something to be celebrated IMO!
~~*Missi*~~ replied: with sabrina i showed about 8-10 weeks I was tall and skinny back then LOL... now well working on it
with the two pregnancies i miscarried I had a little belly with sprout (au 2005) and with the twins I was big bellied at 9weeks. I can't imagine what i would be if I was still pregnant with the twins.....
But i show quick my weight shifts almost when pregnant. it all goes to my belly and boobs
Heather77 replied: I'd say about 3 months where only *I* could tell.... and about 5 months where others could tell.
TANNER'S MOM replied: With Tanner... I had a cousin whom I don't see very often come over. I was in Tshirt and a pair of shorts. He asked what we were doing Wednesday and I said we are going to have our baby! He said have a baby? WHo is.. I said ME.. I am having a baby Wed..they are gonna induce my labor on Weds..and he said you are preggo?? Yup I am!
I weighed more after I was preggo than before or durning. With Brittany I was maybe 6 months before u could tell.. Justin I lost so much weight I could wear a size 9 when he was born.. and Tanner you couldn't tell I was preggo..But let me tell u, when I could eat I made up for it big time.
But for my whole preg.. I was fed IV..and had a surgery where they could use a feeding tube for me..so I guess that's why!
My2Beauties replied: I had a little bitty pooch around 4-5 months, but then at 6 months was when you could really start to tell. BY my 7th month - watch out I was huge!
Boys r us replied: With Tanner, I got a job when I was 7 mnths preggo and they had no clue! I was still in regular clothes.
With Braedon..WHEW..I was in matnerity clothes at 10 or 11 weeks..but honestly, I think it was more that I just plain gained weight EVERYWHERE right off of the bat with Brae, so I grew out of my skinny clothes all over..not just in the belly. With this baby, I'm still wearing my regular jeans, but I think by next week I'm going to need to do the rubberband trick with the button! I do have a few pair of the transitional maternity capri pants that feel SOOOO good when I wear them,the kind that don't really look like mat pants, they have the side elastic area but no band. I think I'm more bloated than anything right now!
But when I wake up in the morning, my belly is always more prominent and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
holley79 replied: I found out I was pregnant on May 16th of last year. I swear I was showing within a couple of weeks of finding out. I felt pregnant from my eyes down. I gained 63 pounds so there was no denying I was very pregnant. I envy all those people that had the perfect little basketball in their shirts. They made me sick. My sister will probably be one of them. LOL
