At how many weeks did you start to show?
I'm 6w1d today. I'm pretty sure its just bloat but I noticed this morning my belly popped out a little. When does the bloat go away and the really baby bump start to show?

In my album you can see when it started getting crazy
I could hide it before 6 months but now of course forget it

Re: At how many weeks did you start to show?
I had alot of bloat for the first 10 weeks or so. But I really started showing at 17 weeks. But only to people who knew me. Otherwise you would just think I am chubby.

Re: At how many weeks did you start to show?
I was able to hide it until 20 weeks from being obviously pregnant.. but I started showing to my friends much earlier!!! My students were shocked when I told them at 20 weeks.. I have my 21 week pics up, but I have popped a bit since then.. I will post 22 weeks asap..
I was bloated for a lot of the first trimester!!!

Re: At how many weeks did you start to show?
I dont think I have started to show much yet! 
I had a lot of bloating in the beginning and that lasted until I was about 14 weeks or so. There is a definite difference in a bloated belly and a baby belly.

it is definitely normal. the belly you have now is baby bloat, which can look like a baby belly! the bloat will go down as the first tri progresses, and then it will be replaced by the "real" baby belly.
i am 8 weeks and i have a belly also... but not as big as last week! it's all bloat...
last pregnancy i was bloated and wearing maternity clothes by 10 weeks. i didn't *really* start showing until about 17 weeks.
here are some pics so you can see the difference:
10 weeks:
15 weeks:
17 weeks:

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU HON!!!!!!!!
EVERYONE is different!!!!!!
I was bloated for awhile, that went down and at about 9 weeks, i had a smallish belly. At 14 weeks now - it's WAY more obvious...but i'm also still wearing shirts that are way too big for me (as i have always done that).
The way i found it best to decifer between bloating and baby was that when i pushed on bloating - it was just that...kinda airy...when i push on the baby belly (and by push - i mean i'm not POUNDING on my stomach - but pushing to feel) - there's muscle back there - it's a FIRM push - not jiggly, nothing...it's like, WHOA!

Re: At how many weeks did you start to show?
At that point, I just had bloat.
I honestly do not know when I started to show. To be honest, I don't think I am even showing that much now-- at least to strangers.
I had DH's company party last Friday and at 32-33 weeks, people didn't know I was pregnant.

Re: At how many weeks did you start to show?
I'm at 13 weeks and in my regular jeans today. I don't think I am showing yet to anyone who sees me in regular clothes. My naked belly sticks out more, but nothing crazy.

Re: At how many weeks did you start to show?
I had bloat until about 10-13 weeks. Then it all went away and I really started to have a belly around 16 weeks, strangers couldn't tell till I was about 18 weeks. Any "belly" I thought I had before that I realized afterwards was just bloat. The bloat will make your pants tight and some will even start to wear maternity pants, but it goes away and then the belly comes in full force afterwards.
Bloat's a good time.

Re: At how many weeks did you start to show?
i HATE when i tell people i am having twins..they look at my belly and say "OH wow your so small" ...i was thin before hand..and i am 5;10....i was 125-130 lbs pre preggo so i had a thin body....it took awhile to show actual bump....
id say bloating started at week 8 but only made me look like i was getting a little chub ...I got the full Rounded but coneshaped bump in the front probably relaly just 2 wks ago...Fiance still says I look amazing...the only thing that really.....ummm...GREW lol is my chest...i went from a small C/full B to a DD.....he's loving that...me 2!
