OMG I am already showing. I started showing at 12 weeks. I get DAILY comments on how I am showing. Everyone else seems really excited about it but I feel it is too early. This is my first. I have never had a belly before and am short with a short torso so I think that contributes to it.
I'm 20w tomorrow and feel like I might have to tell work next week, although I'm still just looking "thick" in my regular clothes. I do have a little bump that seems to have just appeared this past week when I wear tighter clothes.

With DD, I started really showing around 20 weeks, but I have a lot of extra belly anyway, so that's why it took so long. This time around, I'm only 14 weeks and I'm definitely showing.

I am excited but upset all at the same time lol.
I'm 22 weeks and also super short, and I feel like I look to be about 7 months pregnant right now. It's scaring me. At my 15 week appointment the doctor even said that people are going to tell me I'm bigger than I should be because I'm so petite. Great.
For me it was around the 13 week mark. And I'm pregnant with my first child. Before it was just bloat. But I don't have a complete baby bump though, I feel like it's just more noticeable now.
18w: 19w: 21w: eta: this is with my first, obviously
I want to do this same thing! But, I guess I should wait a few weeks or I'll have a lot of the exact same pictures. Lol.
I took weekly pictures in the same outfit (yoga pants, long tank top) for 13 weeks and then I lost steam. (Go me.) I totally saw a difference between 4 weeks and 9 weeks, even if the outside world couldn't tell at all.
As for really showing, I felt it was noticeable around 16 weeks, but it depended on what I wore. Looking back, though, 21-22 weeks is when I really popped.

Thanks! This gives me hope. I guess I'll start today and just see what happens.

I had a bump at 15 weeks but only to people that know me. It hasn't been until the last week or so ( 26 weeks) that its unmistakable that I'm pregnant and not gaining weight.
I saw an old friend around 24 weeks and later found out he texted another friend asking if they knew because he didn't want to offend me.
ETA: I feel like I popped around 21 weeks. My belly moved higher, but it was still in that- pudgy or not territory.
I was JUST thinking this. I put a good 10 lbs onto my tiny frame and it ALL went to my belly. I guess that's just how I gain weight but it is really disproportional to the rest of my body.
I was mistaken for pregnant earlier this year. I've already started to just unzip my fly b/c my pants don't fit in the belly area, but if I get a larger size they sag in the ass! So yeah, I've been "showing" for about a year now. Can't wait until I can blame this pudge on something other than just getting fat.
With IF drug bloat and then constipation bloating in 1st tri, I feel like I always kind of showed. However, I could suck it in until about 18 weeks.
I was lucky in that clomid was enough for me, soooooooooo I can really only blame the IF wine habit bloat. I can still wear my normal clothes without any MORE people thinking I'm pg than before, lol, but when I go for comfort and wear maternity, I look a whole lotta pg. haha

I looked more pg after my first round of gonal F than I did at 6 months pg! crazy. I will miss being able to just let it all hang out during pregnancy.
