    I started to show right around 3 or 4 months, and that's when my clothes all started to dwindle.....one morning, those roomier pants just won't fit! Start thinking about maternity pants!

    The fun part is month 5 or 6......when my bellybutton popped out. I fixed that by wearing a tummy sleeve under my clothes, plus it feels more comfy too.

    Congrats!

        Tummy sleeves are great for third trimester! My mom got one for me, and I really like it for work. It's a one piece stretchy, cottony/spandexy tube that you wear around your belly, under your clothes. On me, it sits a little below my bra and slightly over my panty line. It gives very light support, and it keeps my outie belly button in, so my clothes look nicer. I also feel like I have more coverage, because now that I'm bigger, I can feel air touching my belly under my shirts, which makes me a little self conscious too. I do a lot of reaching at work, now I'm less worried about my belly hangin' out. It's not restrictive or tight at all, and so far I've never felt sweaty or gross in them either, they breathe very well.
        Definitely recommend trying one out!

          thanks for explaining that, I started looking it up and came across another garment called a bellybra! sounds like a more expensive sleeve option but the research paper sounds very promising. Anyone every used one of those?

    I popped between 4 and 5 months. I danced last weekend at 6 months, and someone told me they did not know I was pregnant. I had to chuckle to myself and think, "I guess you just thought I was getting chunky LOL". The more belly the better the BELLY dance!!! HEE HEE

    I think it was about 4 months the first time and kinda right away the 2nd time... I've known a few people who didn't even need maternity clothes with their first babies, though (including one who found out she was pregnant about 8 months in).

    Really early... I was already getting questions @ week 8, but I didn't really "pop" (need new pants :D) until about week 12.

    By 39 weeks, I was HUGE. Like, "Are you having triplets?" huge. LOL

    BTW, my son was average sized (8lbs 4oz) -- how big your belly gets has NO correlation with the size of the baby :D

    And another BTW: he was born at home! Two years ago, on mother's day :D

    Have a fabulous pregnancy and entry into mothrerhood!
