When did your belly start to show???
Before WLS I used to "show" before 12 weeks pregnant.
After WLS, I didn't start showing, let alone NEEDING maternity jeans until I was nearly 24-26 weeks.
I've lost so much weight while pregnant I can still fit into my "pre-pregnancy" jeans. They button and zip up around my baby belly, LOL I am super excited to see what size I am after I've given birth and my body resettles!!
DH bought some new shorts for the summer and I looked at them and thought "I think I can fit into those!" So I asked him for them and pulled them on easily and they "nearly" buttoned up! I was about 1in -1½in away from closing it without struggle. I'm sure if I REALLY wanted to I could have sucked it in and buttoned them.
Needless to say, DH was NOT happy that I, being 32 wks pregnant at the time, nearly fit into his new, bigger sized, jean shorts. LMAO
I on the other hand was shocked and quite pleased with myself!

Mom to 8 ~ Adelyn Grace arrived July 8, 2010!
Thank you Ladies. This is my third pregnancy. I showed around 15 weeks with my two boys but I was much bigger with them. I was gaining weight with them but this one I have not gain nothing at all. I have lost about 28 lb since finding out that I was pregnant. I just hope I look pregnant in the next few weeks.
This is my first baby. (I lost 200 pounds after weight loss surgery 4 1/2 years ago, and have not yet had any plastic surgery)
So for me, I started showing at 8-10 weeks. I had to buy maternity pants then too.
By 12 weeks along, people who did not know me would mention my pregnancy or ask questions, "are you having twins?!", etc.
And by 20 weeks along random people would come to help me carry and load things (like 2 men who were strangers at the laundromat, etc.)
Since about 24 weeks, I basically looked ready to go! LOL
No one can believe that I still have 6 weeks left.
I have gotten a lot of compliments on my "cute baby belly", and people are always looking at me. I am TRYING to enjoy it, as I know it's okay. (But I carry all my excess weight in my panni, and back before I was even pregnant, a few people would ask me when my baby is due... so that really made me embarrassed/self-conscious about the way I look)
