    With my girls I was around 6 months when I first started showing.
    With DS is was around 4 months. At 5 months I was uncomfortable & had people asking how far along I was thinking I was further.
    I got big earlier with him, but didn't really get that much bigger.

    I'm now at 29 weeks and people are still a little afraid to outright guess that I'm pregnant, although people have been guessing since about week 25. I think I've been showing since week 20-ish.

    Around 8 weeks, although it was from bloating, but found I steadily increased upwards to now and now you can't miss it!

    I have always had days were I looked pregnant when I wasn't at all. I put this down to bloating and certain times of the month. So I felt I was showing from about 10 weeks but one day I looked pregnant and the next I didn't so that is why i think that. But I am 16 weeks today (yeah) and just the last 2 weeks specifically the bump has stayed very consistent although there are days I feel huge. So I think there is still an amount of bloating.
    So I would say though that I have started showing around 14 weeks.

    Hmmm - from memory around 20 weeks to the outside world, however I had a small bump from around 10 weeks!

    My DF & I could see from around 14 weeks from memory. Other people couldn't see anything for quite a while longer.

    I remember sitting in Melbourne Pathology with my 5 yo DstepD excitedly talking away to "Brocky" in my tummy while the people seated near me looked at us like she was mad. It was when I had my first GD test so would have been around 24 weeks. It must have looked odd when she was calling him by name and I didn't even appear to be pregnant.

    In my third tri I had several people at work completely shocked when they found out I was pregnant. I thought it was completely obvious by then, but perhaps it wasn't.

    With my DS#1 I started showing at about 18-20ish weeks, with this 2nd one, probably 16 weeks..
