I didn't start showing until I was 14/15 weeks, when I had a huge growth spurt and made up for lost time. However, I have always been a bigger gal and have a long torso for my 5'8" frame. I'm in the middle of my 2nd growth spurt and now it is recognizable. Good luck with your pregnancy! This is my first and I'm so excited!
I was pretty bloated too and started needing to use a bella band thing pretty consistently around 8 weeks. I felt like i was actually "showing" around 13weeks, which is also when I went shopping for maternity pants. But it was probably a couple more weeks until I actually looked pregnant to people who didn't already know.
I had a lot of bloat early on. People who lived in my neighborhood asked my neighbor if I was pg and I was only 10 weeks. I was in maternity clothes really early and it was clear to strangers by 17 weeks.
Strangers did not start noticing until I was 19 weeks. Before that I thought I looked fat, but not necessarily pregnant. I have looked at old belly pictures from weeks 6-10 and I wasn't showing at all and actually looked quite thin (to my post-partum self!).

I always felt like I was showing...but by week 16 I was popped out and it was obvious to anyone. Probably around week 10 if you knew me you could tell.
I never had any bloat and didn't start to show until 16ish weeks. Even then I could have still hid it if I had wanted to. Started wearing mat pants at 18-19 weeks.

I started "showing" immediately. I started showing early with DS1 too and I am short so that may have something to do with it. I have been in maternity clothes since about 6-7 weeks.

by 11 weeks I had a visible bump. My husband looked at me at 9 weeks and asked "are you supposed to be that big already?" LOL.
My BMI was low before getting KU and I think that might have had something to do with how quickly the pregnancy was noticeable? Since getting KU I've gained about 1 lb a week too. HTH!
Re: when did you start showing with twins?

at about 16 weeks. Maternity cloths full time by 20 weeks.
When I told people at 14 weeks, everyone was very suprised! So I definately wasn't showing then.

I'm 5'2 and this is not my first pg or my 2nd...
