Showing at 8 weeks? - Page 2

I was really bloated and nausious during pregnancy. I had a little belly at first. I found out around 4 weeks...I started to get really sick and my husband and I had to drive across country because he got a job transfer. So I went to old navy and bought to pairs of drawstring capris (it was summer) in a size 10 (normally I'm a size 6-8).

I just felt yucky so I bought larger pants. I also wore my husband's sweat pants alot too. You will feel like you are showing long before other think you are. People just think you are gaining weight. I meant...even at 5 months, I started to really wear all maternity clothes (well mostly) and people were still afraid to comment...since babydoll style tops are in style...they still sometimes weren't sure if I was pregnant. By 7 months though..I popped out and everyone thought I was going to give birth anyday! It just seemed to happen overnight! One day people weren't sure if I was pregnant (unless they knew me of course), the next day everyone is like..."wow any day now huh?" and I would be like.."Yeah I wish!"

I start off the day pretty ok but by the end of the day I can't wear my clothes. But I feel guilty wearing maternity pants at this stage because it seems like I'm jumping the gun.

I would just buy pants a size or two too big. A week or so after you have the baby, you will be wearing those pants again anyways. Plus any kind of yoga or sweat pant is great at that stage in pregnancy! I would check out Target or Old Navy!

my first baby was a girl but didnt start showing until i was 5 months ,shes now 4 going on 5 years old and I am 11 weeks pregnant but I too started showing about 9 weeks i cannot button none of my pants i usually do the rubber band thing or tuck in the flaps of my pants inside and wear along shirt, maternity pants fit comfortably, my thighs are getting bigger and so are my boobs i already went up a bra size. I was wandering too if I was farther along than what I thought but I guess not.

Every woman is different. I always showed right away, I mean even at 4 weeks I was showing, by 2 months I was in full maternity gear looking 7 months. But I have friends that didn't show until after 6 months or more, so really it is up to your body!
