When do you start showing with your first pregnancy?

Question

How long until you have to get bigger pants?

Answer

I am short and small. I started showing around 13 weeks. It really wasn’t much but I noticed it and it made my pants uncomfortable and that’s when I bought maternity pants. I still wasn’t obviously pregnant until about 28 weeks though.

Answer

Depends on the woman and the baby! I’ve been told 20 weeks (give or take a few weeks) is the most common for your first pregnancy.

Answer

I started showing around 20 weeks.

Answer

You couldn't really tell with me until about 25 weeks.

Answer

Started showing and needing a bigger size around 25 weeks

Answer

Yeah I’m 15 weeks & im looking for a belly but I haven’t found it yet , I’ve been told around 20 weeks

Answer

Around 28 weeks I started to get a small bump and moved up a size in pants. I carried low so as soon as I started to get a bump I had to switch. I know plenty of women that carried high and stayed in the same size the whole time

Answer

I bought maternity jeans and leggings at 13 weeks because I was so bloated.

Answer

I didn’t start outgrowing my pants until around 22-ish weeks. I’m 32 weeks and can still wear most of my pre pregnancy shirts, they’re just a big snug. I’ve gone up a couple pant sizes though.

Answer

I didn’t wear maternity clothes until 18ish weeks. Before that I fit basically in to my normal clothes. I think jeans started fitting uncomfortable around 13 weeks though so I mostly wore dresses or stretchy pants until I switched to maternity jeans and shirts around 18-20 weeks. It depends though since some women show early and some show later.
