Also when did your bump grow big enough for others to know you were pregnant?

I had a bump from bloat very early - maybe 10 weeks with my first and 8 weeks with my second. I don't know if others really noticed it at that point - I think it definitely depends on what you wear too. That bloat bump became a real bump around 16 weeks.

It was about 9-11 weeks for me (different pregnancies) and probably closer to 20 for others. I'm 32 weeks now and if I wear a jacket people can't tell.

It was 10 weeks for me & 25-ish weeks before others could really tell. I loved being "big"....I wish the bump had shown up sooner!

14 weeks was when it looked like a bump (to me) and not just bloat. I think it was obvious as a baby to other people at 20-21 weeks.

Around 14 weeks it was noticeable to me, and not bloat. Others could tell around 20 weeks.

I noticed a bump around 15-16 weeks, but others didn't notice until after 20. About 22 for those that knew I was pregnant and more like 26 for strangers.

I could tell it was a bump (and not fat) at 14 weeks. I'm almost 17 weeks and DH says it looks like a baby bump now. Not sure about others or if I'm still in that awkward fat but not a cute bump stage

My sister told me I had a bump at 10 weeks. I really noticed it around 12 and thought I popped at 14. I think most people could tell by 16.

People were asking questions by week 10. I looked "very bloated" at the gym. I moved to maternity pants at 8 weeks, though. It was my third pregnancy, all bets were off.

10ish weeks- noticeable by me.
14ish weeks noticeable by people I knew.
18/19 weeks noticeable by people I didn't know- by 20 weeks, people were giving up their seats for me and asking me if I needed anything.

People have started commenting that they can see my bump and I am 10 weeks. It's small though and I think it depends on the kind of clothes I am wearing.

For me 15 weeks, but others didn't notice until about 20-22 weeks. I will say my boobs were my sign that I was pregnant because they got HUGE, belly came later.

I'm 15 weeks now and trying to decide if it's baby and not just extra fat.

15 weeks- noticeable by me/my husband
17 weeks- noticeable by my mom
I'm not sure when I passed into "definitely pregnant" to strangers category-- if I even have yet at 26 weeks! I started out overweight though so I feel like that makes it harder for people to judge if I for sure am pregnant or if I just hit the chinese buffet hard last weekend

noticed bloat belly right away -- like 8 weeks. almost 16 weeks now and it's more firm and round and looks more like a bump than fat/bloat/mush, but still too early for others who don't know to notice. tho you could def tell by the size of my bbs very early

The teeny tiny one noticed by me about fifteen or sixteen weeks. You could see it around 20 but I passed for not pregnant til 34 weeks. That person (I know who it is) must have been blind though, lol.

I noticed it at 7 weeks. I'm 9w now and no one at work has commented yet, thought to me it looks really obvious. Thank goodness for winter! I'm going to try to go undetected at work until 12 weeks but I don't know if that will happen.
ETA: I really think it just depends on your body type.

Bloat bump starting at 8 weeks, but hubby and I think I popped at 12 weeks (because I couldn't button my jeans anymore), and now at almost 14.5 it's obvious to family and friends that know but not many others.
