I was bloated looking at 24 weeks. by 29 weeks I looked pregnant, but was still small. I never really got big. When I went to deliver, they asked if I was sure I was full term.

I started showing at around 12weeks it was a very small bump but it was noticeable in clingy clothes but when my friend was pregnant she didn't show until she was 20 weeks and we are practically the same build so i guess it depends on the person really,how far along are you?

I started actually showing at 17 weeks...but I have a friend who at 12 weeks had a bigger belly than I do now (at 20weeks) ...She was also a small built girl, so I guess it's really different for everyone!

I started showing around 8-9 weeks but I'm not sure how much of it was bloat, it was just the point where I was doing all kinds of crazy stuff to make my clothes fit and I started having to hide my belly. Now though at 4 months (as of Sunday), there's no mistaking it. I look like I'm at least 6 months, maybe more.

I didn't show with my first one till I was 7 months. I just looked fat for a long time. This time around I'm 14w and definitely showing already. Each one is different! You will show soon don't worry :)

I think its different for every person.   I know someone that at 3 months looked almost full term but she didn't change after that.  Then I started showing around 4 months... I haven't actually gained any weight its just all resituated itself right there.   So I think everyone is different.
