I'm a FTM and 15+1, I've definitely got a little bump. Every pregnancy & every woman's body is different...some of us start to show earlier, while others show later. I've been trying not to compare myself to the experience of others, because then I know I'll start stressing about what's "normal" or not...& really, I don't think there's any such thing as normal. Embrace your adorable bump!
I'm a FTM and 15+1 and definitely have a bump and I embrace it. This pregnancy is going so fast I'm not gonna wait until everyone else thinks it's an "appropriate time" for me to have a bump lol. I agree with PP that each pregnancy is different and there really isn't a "normal"
Cute bump! Your body type can have a big impact on when you start showing and how much, as can baby's position. There is really no "normal" for bump size for any stage and for any pregnancy, except when your doctor is concerned about fundal measurements.
People also have no real idea about what a pregnant belly looks like. When I was about 7 months with DS, I had a lady ask me if it was twins and another lady tell me I looked small for 7 months and ask if there was something wrong - about two hours appart. (The inappropriateness of the comments is a whole separate issue.)

This is ridiculous! I hope you told her if there was something wrong in what world is that any of her business. Busybodies need to be put in their place.
At 15 weeks any bump is definitely a baby! When women say they're showing at 6 weeks that's when it is considered "too early" but even then you're bloated like never before so either way, you're changing shape and you're having a baby!
