I'm very tall and with my first pregnancy I didn't show for a LONG time- I had a bloat/bump at 23/24 weeks but nothing substantial until closer to 30 weeks. I had him at 37 weeks so I don't feel like I got much time actually looking pregnant! I'm hoping the "you show earlier with your second" is true for me!
Not showing here yet either. (However, I no longer have a midsection and look like a brick.) Im glad you posted this because I was wondering the same thing -- it seems like so many people start showing early!
It was after 20 weeks before you could really tell. I could see the little bump before then but I was still in normal clothes until like 22 weeks. If this is your first it will probably be a while before you start really showing.

This but I am showing a tad. My stomach used to be flat across (I've always been thin and petite) and now there is a slight bulge out. No one besides the hub and I would notice though.

This I'm petite and thin and starting to bulge out a bit and my H, me, mom and bff are the ONLY ones that can see the difference! My bff is convinced it's baby and I keep telling her the bulge is just bloat and constipation. She doesn't believe me. I'm letting her think what she wants.?

Okay...so I am 7 weeks and you would think I was 25. I.am.huge. I am VERY jealous of all of you who are not showing yet. I am *normally* a thin person (size 4-6) but I am in full blown maternity pants. What if I give birth to a kindergartner?
I just had a coworker tell me on Monday that I was starting to show and another today. It's not possible to button some of my pants but others fit. I see a little bump but it could easily be mistaken for fat if you didn't know I was PG.
WIth #1 it wasn't until 25 weeks, and I stayed small enough the whole time to wear my regular jeans.
I'm still waiting for a bump. I have the tiniest little belly but nobody but me can see it, and I'm still wearing my regular clothes zipped and buttoned.
I'm not showing yet. My stomach is no longer flat and DH says he can feel a difference in my stomach. I'm wearing regular clothes, jeans, etc. and can't see a bump.

Um... that's just bloat. That's not the baby you're seeing.
I started showing at about 24 wks with my first. I feel like I am showing with my second now--but it's all bloat. I am huge at night and then my stomach goes back down by the time I wake up.

This was my first pregnancy to a T. Except I'm not tall - about 5"3'. I, too, hope I show sooner with my 2nd!
As a side note, though, I guess the smaller you are throughout your pregnancy, the quicker you're back to normal afterwards... That was the only + side of not showing (very much). But damn it I really wanted a cute baby bump!!
with my first, starting around week 10, my clothes were tight and i had to use the rubber band trick with all of my pants. by 12 weeks, i was full blown showing. by 16 weeks, i looked like i was 7 months, then i didn't get any bigger until i was actually 7 months!
a few days ago, my bloat was out of control. i had a huge belly.
i also have a very short waist, so there isn't really any place for anything (bloat or baby related) to go but out.

This is my 2nd and its triplets and I started showing at 10 weeks but it was a small bump anyway. In the morning I look like I did with DD at 16w, at night more like when I was 20w with the bloat.
If you think you are showing earlier than you should, its because its bloat and not baby.

Steal my kids picture or pretend they are yours, I will find where you live and ship all of their dirty diapers to your doorstep. Promise.

Um...yes i know that...that was simply sarcasm...
I got that with the kindergartner part... The rest, well, you need to work on your sarcasm
The bloat made me bigger a couple of weeks ago than I am now. I am not showing at all but my boobs are bigger and my skin is kind of freaking out. I'm hoping these things chill and I can be a nice, radiant pregnant woman. hehe.

I agree with this. A couple weeks ago I was so bloated I had to unbutton every night at work but this week I've been fine. ?

Not yet and I am almost 12 weeks. My jeans still fit I just feel "bloated" I have only gained 5 lbs so far. I am also lucky because I can wear scrubs at work that are very forgiving. I am glad because we are waiting to tell everyone until 15 weeks.
Re: when did you start showing?
I haven't yet.
