When did you start showing?

I'm barely 8 weeks and I'm not showing yet, most of my clothes fit still.  I don't have a belly yet and I can still suck it in but I do have Porn-Star-bbs I am a regualr size 34-A  right now I'm almost 34-C. I'm pretty skinny and I thought that i'd be showing earlier.
Anyway American Pregnancy Association says that my uterus is about the size of a grapefruit now, really? how come I'm not showing if that is so?

Anyway, when did ya'll start showing?

i wouldnt say im showing much, i can easily hide it thats for sure and i still fit in my normal clothes, i suppose it also depends on how you uterous is, if it tilts up you usually start showing earlier from what ive read.

I didnt really start showing till i was about 18 weeks or so. My tummy was pretty much the same for a really long time. I was worried that she wasnt growing. But now my tumy gets bigger and bigger as the weeks go by, i didnt even by maternity clothes till i was about 27 weeks when my pants would not fit. And now i am 34 weeks and my tummy is so noticable..and may i say cute...LOL. You'll start growing your little baby bump soon.

I'm 12 weeks 1 day and am not showing. BBs are fuller, etc. but belly is about the same. This is my first - so Im not expecting real showing for a little while longer. Pants are getting a little snug though! Ha Ha.

I didn't need to buy maternity clothes until 16w...and around week 14 I REALLY couldn't button my pants so I had to buy some of those bella bands which kept my in my clothes until week 16...I didn't really start to 'show' like a pregnant lady until very recently, like week 20.  I had a flat stomach and have spent a lifetime to get it that way so I am convinced that my abdominal muscles were very strong and didn't stretch too easily.  Now, I'm 22 weeks and everyone at work tells me I'm either on the small side or that I look great and carry it really well.  I had a tiny waist before and that was the first thing to go/change...I lost the waist and then got the belly.  I had always imagined getting much bigger much faster...It will happen sooner or later.

I was already a little on the chunky side, at least in the belly area, and I wasn't noticably pregnant until right around 20 weeks. I did have to start wearing maternity pants or at least my regular pants unbuttoned before that because I was bloated all the time, but I really popped right around 20

My cousin is just over 7 weeks with her second child and she's popping out of her pants already...She doesn't have a bump or anything but she has gotten bigger, not noticeable though. I'm not sure about her first though.
