showing?

I was just wondering when you ladies started showing. I have some fat on my midsection, not much. I've been told and read around 15 or 16 weeks. Is that about right?

I started showing around 23 weeks.  I look back at my 17 week picture when i thought i was showing but i really don't think i was.  At least not compared to the 23 weeks and now.

I started showing around 18 weeks.. if u start wearing maternity clothes you will prob be more noticable because those clothes allow hr belly to stick out and show more.

I am almost 10 weeks and showing enough to really tell I am pregnant.  But I am also a very petite person and this is my 3rd baby.. usually the second and third show faster.

It really all depends on your body. Some woman carry small and some carry large and can differ depending on babes position. With my first i didnt start showing until after 20 weeks and carried small. This timr around i started showing at 12 weeks and im carrying much bigger. Its always exciting getting your bump until your aftrr 30 weeks then u just wanna see your feet again!

I'm a big girl so I didn't start showing until around 24-26 weeks, and even then only barely. But now at  34+ 6 it's very noticeable

I was really bloated in the beginning too but its not the same. That's just gas/water Lol. I'm actually looking forward to start showing. Is that weird? Lol

I've been feeling quiet chubby lately and bloated, usually at the end of the day and I'm 5weeks. But no actual belly yet :/
