With my first full term pregnancy I wasn't showing until about 20 weeks but with my second full term pregnancy I was showing at 8 weeks. I was told by the dr with the second one you show really fast since your uterus and stomach has been stretched before. Not sure on any more pregnancies as I am TTC #3 but Good Luck
:o) Hugs

I am 12 weeks and I look more like I've put on a few pounds rather than being pregnant.  My hubby says it looks like a baby bump though.  When I was 5 weeks I couldn't fit into any of my pre-preggo pants because I was so bloated and now my maternity pants that I bought at 6 weeks are getting too tight.  I don't mind looking like I'm pregnant I just don't want complete strangers thinking I'm fat!  You can see my belly pic at I think 10 1/2 weeks on my profile.

This is my first pregnancy and I started to show at 10 weeks (I'm having twins) but I am now 17 weeks and my bump has hardly grown at all. I was a little worried but I remembered that someone I work with did not show until 20 weeks and then it just popped out from no where. If I lay on my back I can see that my bump is getting higher.
I am only small so I also think that I might now grow as quiky because there is not much space.

This is my first Pregnancy and I had a lot of bloating early on...but people at work still don't know I'm Pregnant and I'm 13 weeks! I feel like its just now starting to get noticeable in regular clothes but not to everyone. If you look at my pictures you can see my progression...it's a tiny bump that I think only hubby & I have noticed! I have a feeling within the next couple weeks it's going to completely grow and they'll be no more hiding it! But like some of the other ladies, I am really tiny...so I think thats why its been difficult to tell (cuz I haven't gained any weight), but I also think its going to be so obvious soon since I'm so tiny and cant' hide it much longer!

I have all my pics. up on my profile so you can check mine out.  I was thin to begin with so i started showing early.  Im almost 21 weeks and everyone notices and has been for a few weeks now.

i popped really late.  you can check out my photos in my profile to see my progression...but i had the tiniest bump only really visible to me for the first 25 weeks or so...just like a tiny gut!  it didn't get really grow and get round till 3rd trimester!  at about 26 weeks people were starting to notice, and at about 30 weeks, there was no hiding it!  but this is my first baby and sometimes you don't show quite as quickly with your first.

have a happy and healthy 9 months!!  :-)

I'm 5 weeks and def have a noticable bump - I am sure its just bloating, but its there - I mean my shorts won't button and I haven't gained weight - I've lost.  This is my 8 th pregnancy (only 2 here with us).  With my last baby I showed this early also and then I get HUGE!!! (just belly)

I started showing around 13 weeks noticably to family and close friends but not to co workers until about 22-23 weeks.  I was tiny before so I started showing earlier and now there is no denying it.. Or covering it up lol congrats on your pregnancy! The baby bump is definantly something to look forward to :D
