With my first pregnancy I could tell looking in the mirror at about 3 months, however, did not need to wear maternity clothing until about 7 months (my regular clothing still fit ok). I gained 30 pounds total, but the last 20 pounds were gained after my 6th month. Now I am pregnant a second time and am about 2 months, and can already tell, and know I will be in maternity clothing much sooner.
As for when you show... it depends on a lot of things - including where and how the baby is resting inside of you - as well as when you gain the bulk of your pregnancy weight. Either way, a pregnany belly is beautiful!!!

I was also a size 2 when I got pregnant. I started showing immediately but then I started to get sick (just during my first 3 months) so I lost all of the weight I had gained and then some. I started to show again about 1/2 way through my 4th month and I have now gained 32lbs. (I am 8 months). It is really exciting when you start to fit into maternity clothes and people start noticing that you pregnant.

I'm a size 6-8 (average) and I started to show around 2 months with clothes off....around 3 months with clothes on. I was in my first pair of maternity jeans at 12 weeks. Since you are so small, I would say that you will show any day now! congrats!

my sister is your size and 13 or 14 weeks pregnant, she just started showing, but not that much. I'm heavier than her, but I was about the same gestation when I could tell from looking in a mirror. I started wearing maternity clothes at week 17, by week 20 most people passing by me could tell i was pregnant. It really varies, I know some women, even thin ones who didn't show at all till 7 months. They say when it's your first, you show later.

I could tell after 2 months in front of the mirror, and after 4 months with my cloths on.

I am about a size 12 (USA) and I could tell in the mirror at about 3 months. I had to start wearing maternity clothes at 6 months.
With your small frame it may be a lot sooner than that.
Good Luck and have fun with your pregnancy!

I'm only 5'1 and started off at 110 lbs. I'm 17 weeks now and I just started showing a little bit. I've gained about ten pounds so far, but if people don't know you're pregnant you just come off as a little chunky & the more layers you wear or the looser the shirt is makes your bump look bigger. You'll probably show around 16-18 weeks, but enjoy fitting into your jeans for the next 8-10 weeks because trust me you'll miss them!

The general rule is the smaller you are to begin with, or the more children you have already had, the earlier you will start to show.
I am about a size 6, and I have one child. With him, I could tell at about 4 months, but I had lost so mcuh weight due to morning sickness that I didn't even grow out of my pre-pregnancy jeans until about 6 months along. At about 7 months people that knew me could clearly tell, but it wasn't obvious to strangers until about 7 1/2 to 8 months. Before then, I just looked fat under my clothes.
If I happened to be sitting down somewhere, strangers apparently still couldn't tell. I was at a LaRosa's, and the waitress knew my aunt and was talking with her about her 4 week old, and my aunt mentioned that I was due in 3 weeks, and the waitress was totally shocked. Said that she couldn't even tell I was pregnant, let alone about to pop.
My son weighed 7 lbs, 12 oz at birth, so he was a perfectly average size, too.

I was also little like you when I got pregnant. I could see a bump around 20 weeks or so, but you couldn't tell through my clothes until about 28 weeks. I have a long torso, so I think I carried it differently. It just depends on your proportions. But I definitely enjoyed it, I didn't have to wear maternity clothes until halfway through my seventh month!

I'm thin as well (well, now I'm 38 weeks, so forget putting that in the present tense!), and I could tell at about 13 weeks..but no one else could! I just looked slightly bloated. It wasn't until I hit my 5th month that the rumors started at the office. At 7.5 months, people would finally approach me and ask, "Are you pregnant? I thought you were but I wasn't 100% sure and didn't want to offend you." By 8.5 months, people on the streets or in the malls would approach me and ask when I was due. It was quite obvious by the end of my 7th month! And now there's no denying it! :) Best of luck to you and your baby!
