when did you start "showing"? i'm wondering how long i'll be able to keep this a secret at work...

cyko21 · January 2011

honestly? I was in maternity around 9 weeks.

Ahh! I never come on here anymore because my job is crazy but you're pregnant! Congrats! I started showing early. Like, people knew at Ben's birthday party at the end of August when I was all of 8 weeks pregnant. I was also HEINOUSLY sick so it was hard to keep secret. Again, congratulations!

Yup, def. in maternity pants around 9 weeks...Maybe you can wear chunky sweaters to try to cover it a little longer?

Obviously I only have one child but when I was pregnant with my second I was in maternity clothes around 8 weeks. I was fully showing around 10.

i remember asking almost this exact question a few months ago..not to keep it a secret but to wonder why i wasnt fitting in my pants!! lol. i think it was about 9 weeks. actually i am still in regular shirts just need the maternity pants....

started wearing maternity clothes:

22 weeks with Kyle vs between 25-28 weeks with Shannon

I felt like it took me awhile to show with Reid. I was probably 12 or 13 weeks before I had to wear maternity clothes.

I think with Layne it was about 8 weeks maybe? I honestly can't remember. Luckily a lot of the fashions now have that blousy top look going on! Just get some of those.

I was about 8 or 9 weeks when I started showed with Gianna. I had to come out to my principal and my kids b/c I didn't want them thinking their wellness teacher was getting fat! Stick out tongue

Pretty much the same as everyone else, 8-9 weeks. 1st trimester for sure!

Ditto this.

The good thing about being pregnant now is that you can easily get away with bulky sweaters or a zip-up sweatshirt/sweater type thing to sort of cover up the belly. I lived in my zip-up Old Navy sweatshirt at work before I was comfortable telling them.

Yep - I was about 8 weeks or so with Charlie.

i think i was a little earlier too, but it's all evened out... no one suspected when we told them at 14 weeks, even though i myself felt hugely bloated.

i am just over 10 weeks and i can totally tell although nobody else can... maybe some that know already, but thats it. i can fit into my pants fine, but my shirts , especially my fitted ones , look terrible. they are tight around my belly , even more so by the end of the day. not there yet with my maternity clothes... i feel like i just put them away!

i told my boss at 8 weeks because I barely fit into pants, and was into maternity clothes by 9/10 weeks. Wasn't worth it, I got a HUGE belly the second time around (only a 3lb weight gain difference).
