  Hard to tell. I've looked 4 months pregnant since I had my first. I went from worrying someone would think I was pregnant when I wasn't to worrying someone would realize I was pregnant. Pretty sure mine is just a food baby at this point.

  I'm 7+5 with my second and my belly is definitely looking different. It's hard to tell for sure bc it wasn't flat to begin with, but it's usually not round like this! Considering I'm thick to begin with, I'm sure I just look fatter to everyone else lol

  I wouldn't call it showing yet because it's not the baby. It's too small at this point, and the uterus is still too low. I don't know that it is impossible but looking at all the info available I would think it's too early. Edit The changes are from pregnancy so in that sense the pregnancy is showing.(gas, bloating, just not actually showing ) edit
  
  Even with my 5th+ pregnancy, being larger or being smaller I have never showed yet. (And I am short, also short waisted so I don't have a lot of hiding space) edit Personally, I hope I don't start showing for as long as possible. I would rather not have to buy maternity clothes until the fall or later.

  I am only six weeks with my third, and I have definitely gotten bigger. It's more like bloating at this point I'm sure, but I suddenly feel huge and puffy. My pants are tight and my rings don't fit as of this week.

  I'm 9 weeks with my second, and I've been puffy since 7 weeks. My belly absolutely sticks out- it was pretty flat prior. I can't button most of my jeans. I've graduated to leggings only! Whether it's bloat, stretching uterus, or what, it's 100% round belly!

  I'm  seven weeks and feel my clothes are tighter. This is my third as well. It may not necessarily be baby showing we are pregnant but I consider it still showing the world we are expecting a baby. I'm not ready, my co workers have been giving me funny looks and I'm not ready to spill the great news yet.

  Well, considering the fact I have been so sick and haven't eaten much at all the past month or so and I cannot button my pants, I'm considering it showing. I have graduated to leggings because my jeans no longer button, and I actually had someone guess I was pregnant the other day just by looking at me. Good thing my mom already spilled the beans for me (I was so mad) because it's hard to hide now.

  It's definitely first trimester bloat. Your uterus doesn't begin to come above your pelvic bone until at least 12 weeks. But I definitely look pregnant with this bloat!

  Thank you! *This bugs me a little*... I can feel (when I touch my abdomen) where my uterus is and it's definitely no where near where a 'bump' would be! It's bloat and enjoying food too much in my case, not baby

  My pants are def tighter after eating and drinking a bit. I haven't been eating much at all so when the day ends and I'm feeling uncomfortable with my pants buttoned I'm gonna say it may not be baby but it's pregnancy related! On what to expect when...it says around 9 weeks a rounder belly is totally normal!

  I think we all know our babies are the size of blueberries and raspberries, so maybe "showing" is just the wrong word to use. However, my midsection is significantly rounder despite being down 5lbs, so it's definitely pregnancy-related. 
  
  ETA: actually, I take it back - I've seen women post pics of their round 5w bellies and swear it's baby bump so I shouldn't speak for what everyone "knows" lol

  @Mrsholloway umm what I read was a lot of agreement with you and a little clarification that it's not BABY showing yet. But you knew that, right? Relax; you weren't attacked. Best to you as well.

  Even though you uterus hasn't risen out yet doesn't mean it isn't pushing up and moving things(intestines) out of its way. The bump may not be baby per se but it's because of baby that it's happening. Why tear a woman apart? It's from the baby, it's a baby bump.

  This is pregnancy #7 and will be baby #3. I have lost a couple pounds and some days I feel like I look huge and then an hour later it goes back down. I am so swollen with this humidity at times. It's not really noticeable to other people but it's limiting what I can wear because even though something feels fine when I put it on it might be uncomfortable later. Drinking water is helping a lot with the bloat.

  I have always had a bit of a gut.. I'm just glad for once I don't feel "obligated" to either suck it in or spanx it up.  I am too uncomfortable for that.... not showing yet but for sure a bit more bloated.

  This'll be baby (and very luckily) pregnancy #3. I definitely feel like my body remembers how to do this and is starting all the pleasantries early. 
  
  A percentage might be that I'm in Phoenix and any clothing is too much clothing, but the bloat and puffiness and soreness is very real.

  I've been sporting a bloat pooch pretty much this whole time- sometimes it's smaller in the morning, but there's always a pocket around my pelvis that sticks out. Skinny jeans definitely do not fit anymore!

  Insanely bloated. I'm going to need to buy some bigger scrub tops. Between my now huge boobs and swollen belly, I've already been getting the belly stares from coworkers. For a first pregnancy at 7 weeks, I'd rather not, but may have to start spilling the beans.

  Yes I'm pretty small and in a lot of shirts you can see a little bump because my stomach isn't flat now. And even if it's just bloat it looks like a mini bump to me!

  This for sure.  My midwife's explanation of pregnancy with #3 is that your body says, "Oh, we're doing this again? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!"
  
  I remember having trouble with pressure on my stomach bothering me with the other pregnancies, but it was definitely not this early.  While I don't feel bloated, my tummy is definitely round already even though I know the baby is way to small to be causing it, so the only logical explanation is that I am bloated 24/7 because it never goes away.  And the wonderful combination of 90-100 degree weather with 80% - 90% humidity is brutal.

  The bloat is real but it comes and goes.
  
  Most of the time, my stomach is normal looking in the morning but in the evening, it's definitely...poofy.  I'm going to milk my maxi dresses for as long as I can before having to wear pants come the fall.

  @BumpasaurusRex Fun Fact, your actually poofier in the evening because your body is digesting slower then usual to make sure you get all the nutrients you need for your LO

  I'm definitely starting to look bloated in the evenings.  I've noticed that I don't have to "feel" bloated to look bloated.  I don't know about yall, but 1st trimester bloat has been so much different for me from, like, nacho bloat.  I don't get the "ugh I'm a gross human" feeling of having eaten too much - I just feel like, "yep, this belly is composed of all the poop I've been storing up for the last four days."

  I pretty much have a semi permanent food baby bump. Too many cookouts. If I never eat another hamburger or hot dog again it will be too soon but give me all the potato salad.

  With my third, my body I swear was oh, thank God,  we're doing this again.   Get the stretchy waistbands back out!  Now I am already overweight,  but I can totally see and feel the bloat especially at night.   It will be interesting to see how long it will take to go from pudgy mom of 3 to a recognizable baby bump again.
