hi Lozzy, i think like everyone has said we are all different. I was already chubby when i got pregnant but i could easily disguise my pudgy stomach. But about 3weeks ago i had 2weeks off work and when i got back 1 week ago they lady i work with couldnt believe how my tummy just popped out. It is definatly recognizable now. Oh and i heard it has alot to do with your stomach muscles, first time mums with tighter tummy muscles show a bit later and mums who are having their 2nd or 3rd might just pop out sooner. A friend of mine is a size 8 and she is about 22 weeks now you can only see the tiniest little bump on her. And my mum has told me she carried really big with me and my brother, we were only 6pound and 7pound but she had alot of fluid. So i am prob taking after her lol. I hope this helps but i am only telling u what i think please dont quote me on any of it lol :-) good luck with your pregnancy.
