Oh boy I am pretty small and with my first didn't pop till about 7 months. But after that it was like game on and I gained 40 pounds in the last 2 months!
I had a bit of visible blub at 16 or so weeks, but wasn't really for-sure pregnant looking until probably around 24 weeks with my first. Until then I just looked like I'd gained weight.
With my second I was definitely visibly pregnant by 16 weeks though.

First was probably 6ish months before strangers could tell. But I'm chunky already and went through a very long is she gaining holiday weight or pregnant phase.
I started taking progress pictures around 12 weeks with DD. And then every two weeks after that. You can definitely see a difference in each photo. But I dont think I was noticeably pregnant (like others when they saw me) until arouvd 18 weeks. Im going to show early this time. It's my 5th pregnancy and I'm already indulging in my maternity clothes.

With my first, I started to have a little belly at 16 weeks but the kind of thing where you'd have to know me to see a difference. I didn't get strangers asking/commenting until at least 7 months. I could literally button up my regular jeans until about 35 weeks. Ah, the first pregnancy...
Second pregnancy I was visibly pregnant by 14 weeks (even with all the work I'd done to re-tone my abs- ha).
I'm curious how fast I'll show with #3. My little sister had a visible bump (not just bloat) by 8/9 weeks with her third.

I didn't show until 26 weeks. Wore my first maternity clothes at 28 weeks. The first time a client asked if I was pregnant I was 36 weeks. I am 5'6 and average, my baby was just very kind to me
If you were looking I was showing around 12 weeks but by 14 it was noticeable to most everyone. I'm very thin though and my abs are weak lol...meaning I don't have a tight 6 pack so I popped easily. By thin I mean I am 110 and 5'2.
Many BFF is also super skinny but her abs are tight and she didn't start to show till about 20 weeks or so and even then it was very minimal.
I started to show if you knew me around 14 weeks. But to strangers probably not until 5-6 months even then it probably wasn't obvious enough for everyone to put it together.
I am very petite, 5 ft and curvy. Didn't show obviously until about 26 weeks or so. Was able to wear non-maternity clothes for most of the pregnancy. Indulged in the pants around 28 weeks.
I'm short and my tummy popped right out, couldn't stretch much up or down! I started showing around 14 weeks. By the end my stomach stuck out so much, I looked like I was about to tip over.

I had a tiny bump around 12 weeks that wasn't very noticeable but I popped around 20 weeks... And it was very obvious that I was pregnant. I did get into the maternity pants around 15 weeks bc of bloat and they were just so much more comfortable!
Between 16-18 weeks my bump appeared but depending on clothes I was still tiny to others. Once I hit 20 weeks I remember people all of a sudden saying I really popped! I have feeling this time will be much sooner, especially since I am heavier starting now than the 1st time love the baby bump but not chubby bump
I was about 23 weeks before I had a bump but didn't look pregnant until about 29 weeks, I just looked chubby lol

Here's my progression with DS...sorry if pics are huge. I'm on mobile. I gained and lost the same 7 lbs. my whole pregnancy. I was about 190 pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm short and have no torso.
Some of it depends on your height and how long your torso is. I'm 5'10" and didn't show until 8 months! I was maternity pants around 5 months just because sitting in jeans was getting uncomfortable.
I'm 5'9" with a long torso. I switched to maternity pants for comfort around 14-15 weeks with my first pregnancy, but wasn't really showing until closer to 16-18 weeks. At least *I* thought I was showing then. Strangers didn't come up to talk to me until mid-20s weeks.
Re: When did your bump show with your 1st baby?
