[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 20 weeks, just told people and they were shocked. I fit into regular pants still. Not my first baby, either. So, I think 16 weeks is early and my colleague is at that point, already wearing maternity pants on her first baby and I secretly chalk it up to her being chubby and lazy. But I am not her midwife, I would never say that to her and no, a medical provider should probably not say that either. But at the end of the day, every woman has a different body and our bodies react differently to pregnancy. [/quote]

I am one of the earlier posters who started wearing maternity pants at 8 weeks.  I was (and actually still am) in a size 8.  I am not considered chubby nor have I ever been considered lazy.  I happened to show early (probably due to IVF, but that is really neither here nor there).  I don't secretly judge people who show early and think they are lazy.  Honestly, I think it pregnancy is a beautiful thing and I am truly happy for them.  Everyone's body is different (with my first I didn't show until after 20 weeks) but again, that is neither here nor there.  Who knows, people may be judging you behind your back, thinking you have an eating disorder.  Embrace one another, don't judge![/quote]
