I've heard a pretty wide range from my BMB. Some have said as early as 12ish weeks, others not till 16. But the general consensus seems to be that you'll show earlier with your second than your first. I'm 14w2d with my second and still only sporting bloat.
I am a STM. Something at 16 weeks, I look huge and sometimes the bump is barely there. I don't think I will have a constant, noticeable bump for a few weeks. But everyone is different.
It depends on how to define "showing." Is it when you notice, or when others notice? I'm short waisted and showed about 16 weeks with DS. This time around I would say others could tell as of 11 weeks, but I tend to show early AND I got pregnant when DS was only 9 months (and I hadnt spent any time on my abs....). Many say your uterus is within your pelvis until 2nd tri, but mine was already 2" above at my 10 week appointment.
It's exciting to start showing, but you'll show when you show, nothing you can do about it.
I'm 15 to be 16 weeks and only feel it myself. No one else can really tell unless I show them my tiny bubble. I can still wear my same clothes and tops. I'm carrying low again so we'll see when the little one decides to really be on display lol.
