in 1st Trimester

So this question has been bothering me all day!!! How is it possibl eto be showing when the baby is soooooo tiny still!!! When do you generally start showing? Is there a certain week it happens? I keep reading about people showing at like 8 weeks and Im like "Im pretty sure the only thing Im showing is bloat" .... I have a little more around the belly area to begin with so Im not expecting to show anytime soon but when does it generally happen?

 

Thanks Ladies!

    I think most people start showing around 15-20 weeks.  Of course it depends on how you're built and how you're carrying and FTM usually show a little on the later side.  I didn't really "pop" with my first pregnancy until around 24 weeks!

    ETA: I do think bloat is real and common though.  I think it's probably just extra fluid/blood causing the bloat.  Sometimes it shows up pretty early, then goes away, THEN the real belly comes :)

    I'm 5 and half weeks and I noticed my little pooch has gotten bigger. It's probably not obvious to anyone else, but I noticed it before I took my pregnancy test when I was laying on my side. I think it just depends on your body but, and I'm probably going to regret saying this, I can't wait to have a real bump!

    Technically it is bloat till 12 weeks. It also depends on how many pregnanies you have had, people tend to gain and show quicker the more children.

    Ie.... With ds1 I didnt show till 25 weeks, with ds2 I was 20 weeks, Im sure this one will be 15 weeks

    With my first 2 pregnancies I didn't show until about 20 weeks and by that I mean I only showed if I wore a fitted top (which of course I did).  I'm petite and my first 2 babies were back to back (my first was 8 months old when I got pregnant) so I was surprised I didn't show earlier.  This is my 3rd (my 2nd child just turned 2) and I'm 10 weeks along and nothing.  I do have a bit of a bloat but nothing more than if I ate a bunch of pizza when I wasn't pregnant.  I'm going to guess that I will probably starting showing the same time I did with the other 2.  This is one of those things that of course everyone is going to be different.

    I am waaay bloated this time! I had a bit of a bloat baby with my 1st pregnancy, but this time it's ridiculous... I don't expect to start showing actual baby bump until at least 16w. I think I was about 20w with Ds before people started to notice.

    I'm a little on the petite side, but I am also a tad bit over weight & I have already had a few people tell me that I'm starting to poke out at 11w 2d. I see it myself but I am also looking at my belly all day when I walk past a mirror! Who knows?! I've heard it's different with everyone...this is my 1st pregnancy also!
