    I started to show really early!
    I was really thin before I fell preg with first bub so it was really noticable around 3 months.
    I had big babies as well so i dont know if that means anything.
    But i know ppl that dont show until around 20wks....it just depends on the person i guess.
    My friend didnt show till she was over 30wks....but she is really tall so she could carry abit of extra wieght and look normal

    I started to show around 7 weeks. By 9 weeks i'd popped. It was enough for even the customers at work to notice & ask when i was due!!!!!!!

    i think around 3 or 4 months with DS but I was 10 kilos lighter.
    This time not showing yet, i just look like I've put on 5 kilos.

    Well, I'm almost 30 weeks and I'm only just showing. I had a bit of extra weight before I fell pregnant, esp around my tummy, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. People who know I'm pregnant can tell now, but strangers on the street probably wouldn't realise. It's really annoying actually - I wanted a nice big round belly!

    with my first i did not start showing until 12 weeks ended up pounding on 20kg looked like i was carrying twins but just a boy.
    this pregnancy i have put on 3 kgs but have been sick also i all ready have a bump and only being 8 weeks and one day i thought it was quick.
    one person at the deli said is your baby giving you grief and i replied no i am only 8 weeks!
    but this one is all ready longer than what my son was so i think i am ending up the same way again

    Well I am a very small frame. My mom and sister are only five feet tall and 95 pounds. I have their frame but i am five six and120. I am only 5 and a half weeks along but I already look really bloated and at the end of the day my friend say they can already notice it. I heard that if you are really small and dont have a lot of stomach muscles you will show the earliest. Must be right.

    I'm about 160cm tall
    With DD I started at 54kg, didn't start showing (at all!) until 27 weeks!!! So annoying having to wait that long LOL. I ended up putting on 12kg in total.
    With DS I was over-weight when I fell PG. Started at 69kg, started showing around 10 weeks I think it was. Over-all I put on 9kg but in first tri I lost 6kg so I put the 6kg back on plus 3kg ontop.

    I dont think it has to do with weight, I think its just pot luck as everybodies different. But reading the posts in here I'd have to say 4 months looks like the average

    Congrats on your pregnancy... you'll have that baby bump before you know it! Enjoy

    Hey with my first i started showing at 12weeks...
    This time however it looks like i already am! An i'm only 5 weeks! Even some of my work collegues were commenting on it yesterday and i just ignored it saying its food... But i've still got a belly bump this morning so maybe its not just foos bump...

    I've always been quite the skinny minny so we'll see i guess...

    22 wks in.Some people I hardly look pg and others keep telling me how big I am But I needed to lose weight before getting pg so to myself i just look fat. I havent got the nice little down low baby bump either. The best way to describe myself would be Humpty Dumpty......

    don't think I've started to show yet although when I try to hold my tummy in it doesn't go in the way it used to. I'm a bit heavier anyways so I think I'll probably start to show round the four month mark.
