I was 10-11 weeks with both of mine when my bump started to appear and by 12 weeks it was noticeable. Then it just grew and grew and ended up HUGE. Haha.

I grew out of all my pants at 8wks and had to fess up at work that I was UTD cause it was so obvious (that and the fact I was running to the loo every 5mins to spew lol). I'm normally a size 10-12 and quite tall (175cm/5"9ish) and I was all belly. I was forever being asked if it was twins, but no, just a huge baby lol (11lb 8oz)
My bump was all out the front, couldn't tell I was pregnant from behind and I didn't gain weight anywhere else, so I guess we all just carry differently. A friend of mine (a bigger girl) is pregnant at the moment with just over a month to go and you couldn't really tell she was preg till after about 25wks

Glad this little topic is here. I'm 14weeks and 4 days today, and been getting frustrated with my belly but for different reasons to most. I was an 8/10 to begin with and my stomach was one of the only things I sometimes felt good about (I used to have real issues about my body)...and now it sticks out. Not obviously a baby bump yet, but I feel embarrassed wearing my usual tops as they tend to be fitted tops and now my stomach won't be hidden. It's not huge by any means, but yeah, I guess I wish it had stayed normal for longer...or I could fast forward time so that at least I could let it show with pride.

I guess I was surprised too because people tend to say if you've got strong abs you won't show very early, and my abs were pretty strong. But, I've come to speculate that because I have hypermobility syndrome, and thus very loose ligaments (even my skin is stretchy! Sounds weird, but it's not obvious to look at lol!) then my body just stretches easier/quicker.

Reff I think if your smaller you tend to show earlier. I've always been a size 6/8 and popped out pretty early with both babies, pants are tight by 8 weeks and can't do the top button up by 10 weeks. My sister is visiting at the moment and she could tell I was pregnant before I even told her because I've got a wee puku, whereas I'm normally really flat and have really strong abs

Interesting- I always thought I showed early cos my stomach muscles are crap- Im a size 8-10, 5ft3, and have always had a bit of a belly- never been anywhere near flat, and each pregnacy my pants have been tight and 8 weeks, and cant do up by 10weeks.

Hey Ladies,
Im having the same issue except one thing im 11 weeks 4 days, Im 179cm tall and usually a 10/12....I have hair ties on my pants at the moment and ive found that my thighs are getting bigger as well
Im a bit sad about this as I to have body issues and having something that resembles a a spare tyre that pokes out is not good for me.
My DH tells me im not getting fat but lets be honest it would be a lil weird if i didn't right.

Side question- Has any one thought about having the down syndrome test done- were a bit torn about this
