With your first baby, when did you finally feel like you looked pregnant (and not just like you gained some belly weight) ?

Question

Answer

I felt like i looked pregnant at like 18 weeks but thats becuase i could see the changes and knew i was pregnant. Looking back at pictures, i didnt really look pregnant until like 26 weeks, IF i was wearing a size Small shirt, or if i pulled my shirt up.
22 weeks 👇🏻

26 weeks in a Medium shirt 👇🏻

6 weeks in a small shirt 👇🏻

Baby shower, medium shirt 32 weeks 👇🏻

35 weeks, one week before i gave birth, small tanktop.

I had placental issues and low amniotic fluid, the doctor said thats part of why it took awhile for me to actually "pop" and why i didnt get so big. I really wanted the big belly and was disappointed lol. He didnt even move a whole lot either. 
I was hopeful that when i have #2 ill get the big belly and lots of movements, but the doctor said the issued i had with my son will most likely occur with any future pregnancies also.

Answer

with my first i had a big ol round belly by 19 weeks, i gained 75lb due to gestational hypertension though 😭 my second i didnt have a belly until 30+ weeks & my third i was round at around 20 weeks

Answer

Up to 30 weeks I looked pregnant if you knew I was but if you didn’t know you wouldn’t ask. 
Around week 31 is when people started assuming I was pregnant when they saw me and didn’t know 🤪

Answer

UPDATE! 20w4d I finally feel like my belly is a baby bump shape and not just chunky/bloated/puffy ! 😍 🤰🏼 👶🏼

Answer

These are all with my first. The last one in red is a couple days before delivery, at 36 +5 or so (delivered at 37+2). If you want a bump to show, I suggest tight maternity shirts and full panel pants.
