I'm 18 weeks and have nearly no belly. A coworker is 12 weeks with #2 and looks more pregnant.
How far along wereyou with your first when you really started to show?

Maybe around 20-21 weeks with my first. 7-8 weeks with my second!

Everyone is different, here is me at 18 weeks for comparison! But don't compare yourself to anyone else

I started showing around 16 weeks. Not enough for strangers to probably notice until around 20 weeks though.

People who knew me were guessing before 12 weeks. I'm almost 25 weeks and just recently do strangers start to feel comfortable asking when I'm due.
Your coworker's also on her second! That counts for a LOT! I think that's why I showed so quickly, and then just kind of didn't grow a lot

I have a really short torso and showed enough for strangers to comment when I was 15 weeks.

I think around 22-23 weeks, after looking back on pics? It really depends on how you're built I think. I have a long torso. The only time in my life when I've seen a benefit to having short legs

Yesterday! No seriously. I think it became noticeable to my family around 15 weeks and a coworker told me today (16w4d) "If you are wondering if you're showing, the answer is yes". Um, thanks? It's my first!

I thought it was earlier but looking back it was probably around 20-22 weeks, possibly later since some people couldn't tell when I was around 22 weeks. I didn't get my first comment from a stranger, however, until like 30-32 weeks (although people had to notice).

I think it was 18 or 19 weeks before the bump looked like a pregnant bump and not just like a beer gut.

21 weeks here.
I had a bump before but this is when I actually started looking pregnant and not bloated.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: aw, I remember these days on WB!
It was about 18-20w for me but strangers couldn't guess until I was we'll into the late 20s..about 25-27w.

Mine popped out somewhere between 16 & 18 weeks. At 20 weeks I was definitely showing.

I think around 20 weeks, I'm tall with a long torso. Some people were afraid to ask me if I was pregnant when I was 37 weeks.

I'd say around 13 weeks, but it was mostly bloat. I started "shrinking" around 18 weeks but it was the bloat going down and the bump was still tiny. Everybody is different, so don't worry about comparing yourself to others! As long as the baby is happy and healthy when you go to the doctor, that's all that counts.

I think ~20 weeks for family & friends to start noticing. Just this past week (27) for strangers.

I wasnt noticeably showing until towards the end of the 2nd trimester. At 18 weeks when I told my boss he couldnt beleive it because my belly was basically flat

Oh lord all these responses me are making me terrified i'm going to end up totally enormous! Does showing early usually lead to a bigger bump?

This is me from today....preggo with my 3rd....
I've been showing since at least 12 weeks.
And note with that giant belly I've only gained 2 lbs...some times your build and how your body handles it makes a difference.

around 18 weeks is when I started to show. That's when people start coming up to me congratulating me

@JoJoGirl: I showed early and have a big bump...measuring 4-5 weeks ahead, but I'm also expecting a 9-10lb. baby. Even if you do have a big bump, it's for a good cause!

Some people said 28 weeks & some didn't notice until I dropped around 35 weeks. I remember telling someone at work I was 6 months preggo & she just didn't believe me.

@JoJoGirl: Don't worry about it!! Everyone shows differently.
