    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..

    hi there i am in the cuddly women group :P,i showed around 26ish weeks with my son but i have noticed with this one i have a rock hard belly now and if i wear maternity pants people have asked how far on i am,in my opinion i think it depends on what your body shape and type is, to when you are going to show you are preg,and how many babies you had as i know alot of women that are on 2nd and showen alot quicker as if body knows so blows up lol

    with this one ppl didnt notice til about 20 weeks, but i noticed at about 14wks.

    With Izzy I was in mat pants from around 12 weeks - I couldn't fit into any of my old stuff, and had a teeny tummy that most people wouldn't notice.
    This time around, I was in mat stuff from 9 weeks and I already looked pretty rounded when neked but other people would have just thought I was putting on weight! At 14 weeks other people could definately tell.

    I've just started wearing matenity pants and I'm coming up to 11 weeks. I don't think its a baby bump as such, its more just a tummy... possibly from bloating/normal weight gain. I know where my uterus currently is (thanks to What to Expect) and its not where I am "showing".

    But whatever, the maternity clothes are so much more comfortable than my tailored suits that were getting far too tight for me!

    I think i am showing now but it is also a bit big to be baby so could be my flabby tummy with baby underneath!

    I am not even 8 weeks and my partner swears my stomach is expanding beyond a little bloating.

    I am almost 11 wks and unfortunately for me I just feel so bloated. Nobody has said anything. I am sure they just think i have been a bit of a porker and put on weight! I am able to feel my uterus now (its very hard above my pubic bone but the rest above that is just bloating. BllllllaaaahhhH!

    I am 5 1/2 weeks and I have noticed that I have been started to show the last couple of days, today my fav jeans were too tight and I had to use a belly belt to make it more comfortable
