I was starting to show really good around 16 weeks (3rd pregnancy). My family is one of those who park their car near the back off the parking lot too promote more exercise and to promote less dings and scrapes on our car. My husband's comment one day (which I thought was hilarious, btw) was "Well, since you're 'pudging', we'll park closer to the door."

I died laughing. Men..... such silly creatures, haha

Lol my brother told me last night that I'm "getting  pregnant looking" haha. My husband keeps joking with me now saying oh wow your looking really pregnant ... I think my brother just couldn't find the proper thing to say at the time.  The last time I saw him i wasn't showing yet but I'm 24 weeks now so i have a little bit of a belly popping out now. :)

I think people should keep it short and simple: "You look great". Can't go wrong with that.

When I was 12 weeks and told my boss, she said, "I thought you were looking chunky."  Gee... thanks!  At that point I had lost more weight than i had gained though.

I had people saying they couldn't tell I was pregnant with my second when I was like 35 weeks.  It was like...is that meant to be a compliment cuz it sure doesn't feel like one. I did shoot straight out tho, so unless you were to the side of me it was hard to see how big i was.  My husband liked to tease me about that lol.
