when do you start showing?

I'm only 5 weeks but I'm really excited to start showing. I know everyone is different, but ON AVERAGE, what week will I start showing?

Maybe between 18 and 22 weeks. I am 25 weeks and barely look pregnant so that's why I say maybe. I know a lot of women show early like 9 weeks

Around 20 weeks for me. I used to be so excited to show to until it happened and started to become extremely uncomfortable. Now im ready for my belly to go back lol I know its hard but enjoy not showing while you can. It ***** being up all night because you can't get comfortable due to your large belly or waddling when you walk and causing your hips/back to hurt.

At 15 weeks my husband and I could tell there was a bump but no one else could... I started actually showing and looking pregnant at about 19 or 20 weeks. :)

I started showing I think around 11-12 weeks but then again this is my 3rd and I heard you start showing sooner with every child after. My first I didn't start really showing until I was close to 7/8months

I was in maternity clothes at 11 weeks, I have most of my weight on my tummy tho so didn't take long to pop out, I'm 24 weeks now and am quite big but growth has slowed as I've had to change my diet (low carb high protein to prevent diabetes) but compared to others I'm still quite big for 24 weeks
