I didn't show until probably more like 15 weeks - and that was only to people who knew me. I'm 5'8 though, so I had some places to hide it. It really depends on your body. I think you'll be fine though - just feel a little more bloated than usual. I look back at my 12 week pictures and I barely had a bump! I, of course, thought I had a HUGE one.

I really like this post - not your exact timeline (20 weeks), but it shows how different bellies can be!

Not until 19/20 weeks for me. I think at 12 weeks it's likely to still be bloat, but you can dress up it with a ruched shirt that will accentuate it!

For me I wasn't showing till prob 15 weeks and on. Before that, I had a slight bump, but it depends on what I wear whether people will notice it. By week 20 it was definitely noticeable.

I'm 18 weeks and not showing yet. Everyone is different, but I think there's a good chance you'll look like your regular self for the portrait, especially if you dress strategically.

Gosh, 20 weeks?

Around 18 weeks

22 weeks-ish. I got my first congrats from a stranger at around 26 weeks.

Not until about 22-23 weeks and then depending on what I wore I could still hide it until about 25 weeks. A lot later than I thought.

everyone is different. I am short (5'2") and 12 w 4d and I look pregnant.

I started to show at 12 weeks (look podgy) but it was easy to hide, by 14 weeks the bump had got round enough to deffo look like baby bump if wearing the right clothes, hands under bump help define it too and my mum says it also helps because if you are just a bit fat there is no way you would emphasise your belly so it says pregnant. At 12 weeks though id just wear something floaty.

It is different for everyone. It was noticeable to me and people close to me at 12 weeks, but not really to everyone else until 15 weeks, at least that is when people at work and random strangers started asking me about my pregnancy haha. At 12 weeks I think it could still be easily hidden with a flowy or empire-waist top

With my first pregnancy, I didn't look obviously pregnant until after 20 weeks.

@Mrs.KMM: Baby number one probably not, I'm almost 16 weeks with number two and depending on the day I still look like I just put on some weight. I didn't "pop" with number one until after 20 weeks.

I was recognizably pregnant around 19 weeks and really popped a couple of weeks later.

About 26 weeks. Although it definitely depends on what I'm wearing. In some blousier tops and dresses I still look just kind of bloated at 27 weeks. In a tight shirt it was clear that it's a bump.

I didn't "pop" until 22ish weeks. Before then I just felt bloated and blah. Looked it too!

It also didn't get round until way later. I had a weird shaped bump!

Strangers still think I'm sort of fat and aren't sure but my friends told me they finally noticed at 25 weeks lol. I'm 28 weeks today.

I would say it was about 4 months (maybe 18 weeks?). That is the first time a stranger asked me if I was pregnant, so that's what I'm going by

I was noticeably pregnant at like 13 weeks, but I am short-waisted, so my baby had nowhere to go but out. If you're still feeling like you just look bloated, wear a tight shirt, eat a big meal, and push that sucker out! Hee hee.

I started showing at 13 weeks (to me and close friends) but to everyone else, probably not until 16 weeks or so. The problem is, I only looked pregnant up close.. Far away you couldn't tell.
