When do you start flaunting the bumb?

Question

I am a day shy of 15weeks. I feel like I'm at that awkward stage where I kind of look pregnant, kind of look like I have just eaten a lot of donuts 🍩🍩🍩... 
I haven't announced on social media but all my family/coworkers/close friends etc know I am pregnant. 
For the most part, I've been wearing loose tops which hides everything. When do you say, screw it. I'm pregnant, and show it off to the world? 
I wouldn't say I'm plus sized but I'm not small framed so it isn't overly obvious..Size 10/12 pre-pregnancy.

Answer

I was the same as you. I started
Showing a little at 15 weeks but honestly just kind of  looked chubby. I looked more pregnant by 16 weeks and started showing off my bump. I’m 18 weeks now and honestly feel uncomfortable in loose clothes because I just look fat so I show my bump off everyday 😂

Answer

I embraced maternity clothes pretty early. I’m not too large but I am plus sized and taking the step and wearing the bump enhancing clothes made me feel even less self conscious about my looks and my growing belly. I would rather people know I was pregnant rather then just feel uncontrollable larger that I usually am. Then I got to the point were I couldn’t button my work pants anymore but the maternity uniforms are made for someone about 9 months. I made adjustments and dare for someone to say something to me about it. I’m sorry but I’m not going around looking like I’m wearing a circus tent because you didn’t provide something for in between. Plus people have just been nicer and I’ve been getting a bunch of compliments. Many women have been asking me if I was having a boy 😓 no it’s a girl! That’s just a myth guys! Working in the public eye like I do, it just makes the day less stressful.

Answer

I am plus size. My stomach though was not large. So I feel as though I started showing early. I am 16 weeks today. I started not caring at 14 weeks and embraced my baby belly. I don't really care what strangers think. I am just happy to be comfortable and enjoy this exciting time.

Answer

Ive only been wearing tight shirts for about a month. I started in a 14/16 size. I started appearing bigger even though all i did was lose weight at about 15 weeks though. Here is an example. I went shopping to get a few winter shirts. I'm not calling it my official 22 week picture but it works.

Answer

I should add this is my second baby (third pregnancy) so I'm showing earlier this time around

Answer

I am a size 8/10 pre pregnancy and really, others (co workers & people I see daily) could not tell till 22 weeks on me. I tried hard to show it off at 20, but just looked like I'd gained a little weight. I have a short torso & just thought our 1st would show up sooner. We are all so different...

Answer

I still dont unless I dress up really. Maybe around 20 weeks I started wearing tight clothes now and again. At weddings and such before then I would wear a tight dress and you could kind of tell it was a bump...looked like a big food baby lol

Answer

I’m 5’8 and size 14 before pregnancy so I definitely get you on the awkward stage. Around week 16 I started showing a little more and by week 20 I was in maternity jeans. Now at week 25 I find that clingy shirts look better than my usual loose shirts because it shows off the bump. If I wear my normal loose fitting clothes I just look huge (I’d still say I look pregnant but it would be harder to tell without seeing the defined bump). It definitely gets easier once the bump is bigger and more rounded.

Answer

I didn't start to show until like 24 weeks. But I was overweight when I got pregnant and then lost a lot of weight.
