I'm 17 weeks and not REALLY showing! Lol! I'm still in the "SUCK IT IN" stage! hahahahhaa, lame, I know!
This is my 2nd baba and I was hoping I'd be "showing" showing really early on...ya know? But so far, it's just pushing out the fat I gained from my 1st!
The skinnier you are, the quicker you show!

i'm only 6 weeks, haha. So I know it's impossible to be showing, but people have actually been asking me if I'm pregnant, and the people I told so far all said, "I thought so"

I'm pregnant with my first. I did have a lot of bloating early on (especially around 9-10 weeks) that later went away. I started showing around 23 weeks, but I'm 24 weeks and still it's not super obvious. I was talking to one of the workers at the gym this evening and she hadn't even realized I was pregnant! It's definitely a bump that I and my husband notice but not many strangers yet.

I just recently popped at about 24-25 weeks. Before then, no one could tell I was pregnant....just fat. lol. And now, it's like everyday at least twice I get asked by customers when I'm due. I'm sick of that question already lol.

Lol, don't worry, you'll probably start getting them more in a few weeks. I swear it felt like it happened to me overnight.

I know I won't comment a woman's pregnancy, until it's extremely obvious.. along with many others b/c you just don't wanna be like, "When are you due?" & then your like, "What?? I'm NOT pregnant." OOPS! Some bigger people actually do look pregnant, not to say that any of you do, it's just a common misjudgement.

But anways I didn't find out that I was pregnant until I was 6 mos. along, and only then b/c I had to go to the hospital for severe abdominal cramping (which was actually caused by appendicitsis). I started showing at 6 1/2 mos., which is what I imagined a woman's tummy who was 2 or 3 mos pregnant would look. This pregnancy, I haven't started showing BUT I'm also only 7 weeks pregnant. Is it true that you start showing A LOT sooner with babyy #2?? Or does it completely depend on the person? Opinions plz?

This is my first pregnancy and I started showing at 4 months. I am now 5. Right now I'm a little bloated as we speak but in the end it will be worth it.

LOL I've actually had that happen to me about a year ago. I was working, and the customer was all "So are you expecting?" and I was like "Expecting WHAT??" She thought I was a few months pregnant because of the shirt I was wearing, and proceeded to keep talking about it until she was done. I wanted to hurt her! And needless to say, I never wore that shirt again. lol

i would have to say i could really tell at 3months but notiable to others at 5 months. I'm assuming its because i'm short in height
