at 12 weeks the uterus just starts to pop out over the pelvic bone so I honestly think anything before that is just bloat but to each there own. I started showing between 15/17 weeks.
I am 17 1/2 weeks and I only have a little bump so far. I can see my bump, but no one who doesn't know I'm pregnant can tell yet, they probably just think I've gotten chubby. I think if I was wearing tighter clothing it would be more noticeable, but I've been covering up in my winter sweaters due to the freezing weather. My clothes have just started to get tight and I think I'll have to splurge on some maternity pants this weekend. Everyone starts showing at different times though so it's perfectly fine that you don't look pregnant yet!
I'm sure it is bloat, but I have had a "belly" for a few weeks now and I am 11+3 today. People who don't know I'm pregnant stare at my belly like they want to ask but are afraid.
8/2011: Diagnosed with ovarian cancer, ovaries and tubes removed
I looked like I had a beer belly instead of bump for most of my pregnancy. Just the way my body chose to carry I guess (low). I finally looked "pregnant" at my shower at 30 weeks, and now at 37 weeks I definitely look hugely preggo.
I was like PP and just looked chubby or like I had a beer gut in the beginning. I still wore maternity pants tho because they were more comfortable. I didn't switch to maternity shirts until about 18-20 weeks. I think around 20 weeks people started noticing my bump as well.

Started seeing RE 11/12 Jan-March '13 3 IUIs Clomid + Trigger = BFN
April '13 IVF 1 MDLF converted to 4th IUI due to 3 runaway follicles! BFN
I am almost 15w and don't look pregnant yet. My belly is definitely bigger, but since I already carried some weight in my belly it just looks like I gained more. My pants are getting tight but are still wearable. My OB told me I should expect to "pop" around 20w.

I honestly didn't show until I was about 6-6.5 months along. Then out of no where it was like BANG! I'm 38 weeks now and definitely look pregnant but still a little small considering I'm about to pop. My doctor has been monitoring my fluid because I have been small throughout this pregnancy. Doctor said its so much easier on the body to not get so big.

With my first I started showing around 17w and with this one 14w for sure. They say the second one normally shows earlier and I'm 15 pounds lighter than the first time around. I think body has to do with it too.
