When did you start to show?

So as I am about to enter the 8th week of my pregnancy I noticed yesterday that when I went to zip up my jeans that they were snug. My book says that this could be a legitimate effect of my pregnancy or it could be bowel distention! LOL! I am going to tell myself that it's b/c of the pregnancy (even though bowel distention does have a sexy/glamourous ring to it).

My stomach is normally very flat and I have noticed that it isn't as flat anymore, I have a little bit of a pooch now. I definitely don't look prego but I can tell a difference in my waistline already! I am scared - I don't really want to show before my 2nd trimester - just b/c I don't want my co-workers asking any questions!

How about with everyone else? When did you start to show? Has anyone else felt a tightness in their jeans really early like me? Also, when your clothes got too tight did you head for the maternity store or did you go to the next size up in your fave pants?

Thanks!!!

I started to show with all my pregnancies including the twins when i was in my 4th month so I would say between 16-18 weeks.

Tith my first i wa still wearing the samesize trousers until I was 5.5 mmths along, with my second my pants were getting tight at 6 weeks (twins).

I quit work at the 5.5 mnth stage with my first (things weren't going so well with the long hours), I went back into work 2 weeks later to get my grocery's and surprised the heck out of everyone bc I looked everyday of my 6 mnths mind you a fairly loose smock had helped to hid the evidence.

Re: When did you start to show?

I'm showing a little bit and I'm 16 weeks. At work it's probably more obvious, but it's just because everyone knows I'm pregnant and always looking at my belly. (When people say hi, they look at my belly first, then they look at my face ) I've only had to set aside a couple of skirts and a pair of jeans so far. I'm not buying maternity clothes until I absolutely have to. I've gone and bought a pair of jeans that were just a size up though. They are still a little loose, but I couldn't get my old pants zipped. I'm going to try a belly band and see if that will help stretch my clothes further also.

To me it always felt early. This time around People could just now tell as I had "popped" out. I went for a good 5 months with people not even knowing.

I'm super skinny always have been, LOL. I showed very early with both my children between 6-8 weeks and certainly within the first 10-12 was wearing maternity clothes.
