Yes you can I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my 5th child and i started showing around 6 weeks.
This is my second and i started having a noticable little bump around 14 or 15 weeks this time. With my 1st i was around 17 or 18 weeks before anyone could tell. Im small though, pre pregnancy i weighed 105 pounds. Its different with every woman. I was definitely bloated the whole first trimester though.
I am pregnant with #3 and have shown earlier with each pregnancy. This time I started showing at 6 weeks. And it didn't even resemble bloating.

There isn't a set time when moms-to-be start sporting an obviously pregnant belly – every woman is different. Some women keep their pre-pregnancy belly far into the second trimester, while others start showing in the first trimester. Some women notice bloating (not the same as "showing," but a swelling that can make their pants fit tighter) as soon as a week after they get a positive pregnancy test.
Generally speaking, first-time moms begin developing a baby bump between 12 and 16 weeks. Veteran moms start showing sooner, since their uterine and abdominal muscles have already been stretched from an earlier pregnancy.
Most people start showing earlier with each pregnacy. This is my 4th pregnacy and I started showing at 6 weeks. My doctor told me you can show quicker pretty much because your body knows what to do. It's normal to show earlier :) my doctors (1 delivered my first two n 1 for 3 &4) has never told me it was just bloating and I've never have heard that
Its deff. Bloating... U cant start showing before 17 weeks.. I have 3 kids and I use to think the same but I asked my doctor..
