“Noticeable” mainly as in, “when does the belly become big enough to for people to notice it’s pregnancy and not just being fat”. Any further insight from anyone who has been pregnant would be welcome.

    Noticed my wife was pregnant after 5 months of her not telling me. Was unable to talk that down a belly fat that day.

    Now I can see much earlier because you know the signs. Signs are mostly bigger fuller boobs generally more vibrant colors in cheeks, hair, lips etc.

      I’m glad you’re married but I’m concerned it was kept a secret. I guess if there’s a personal/family history of miscarriages, someone might want to hold the news in…

    Paramedic here with specialised delivery training. Delivered around 30 babies probably. Saw a high three digit number of pregnant patients.

    You can’t reliable say that. Until you see the kid.

    And I don’t mean the cases were the mother is blocking out the pregnancy mentally until she is crowning. (But tbh, it’s one of the most cherised moment of everyone in my profession if you have the “I am not pregnant,you idiot!” “Ma’am, I literally can see the hair of your baby coming out…oh and here’s the rest of the bub”-discussion)

    I literally had a aquaintance not recognise her pregnancy (and she had been pregnant before) until she went to hospital for stomach pain. I saw her the weekend before and did not recognise the pregnancy. And,yes, the baby was full term. Happens, especially if the uterus is not in its usual place.

    In other people you see it after 8 weeks (and well,it is often not the belly that is the first indicator which grows suddenly).

    Other people look like "13 months pregnant with triplets"at the beginning of their second trimester.

    Anyway: What is the reason for your question? (And: If you or anyone needs support in that case write me a messge. More than happy to guide you in the right direction if you are in a tight spot.)

    That really depends a lot on body shape. You surely heard about women who repressed any thought of pregnancy and nobody else did notice either. Apart from that I’d say 20 weeks.

    If this is your first pregnancy, usually around 5 months it becomes impossible to hide. If you want to show, however, you can wear clothes that make it more obvious and show around month 3.
