    Easy answer: It varies.

    Some women get a ton of bloating in the first trimester and can show as being pregnant within a month. Others can get to 6 months without an indication of a belly. Most women begin showing by the second trimester.

    It differs with everyone! Supposedly the more toned your stomach muscles are, the longer it takes for you to show. They also say that you start showing sooner during your first pregnancy, because when the second one comes along your muscles are more toned due to pregnancy, birth, and what not.

    This is my first, and I started showing at about 12 weeks, which everyone thought was really weird. Now I'm 16 weeks and I'm pretty into the 'is she pregnant or just fat?' stage! I can't wait til it's more...defined!

    **Oh, it also depend on how long your torso is. I have a really short waist, which was why I started showing so early. I didn't have any room for my uterus to grow and push things upwards, so everything had to move outwards instead.

    I am 21 weeks and still not showing. It depends on how long your torso is your height weight how strong your stomach muscles are there's really no way you'll know until you start showing Some people never really show and some don't show until 6 or 7 months

    I depends on your body... some people take longer to show then others. And since this is your first, it'll prob. take longer. Don't worry, one morning your gonna look at yourself in the mirror and you'll see it. lol It comes outta nowhere.
