I am 19 weeks right now with my third and still waiting for the proper baby bump! I always hear people say you show earlier and earlier with subsequent pregnancies, and this hasn't really been the case with me. I usually look pregnant by 25 weeks though! Everyone is different and show at different points.

At week 5 i couldn't button my jeans. Bloating more than likely...not showing. By week 15 it was very clear i was pregnant but this is my second pregnancy and my uterus is tilted forward. My midwife says with that you start showing much earlier. I'm 26 weeks now and look closer to 30:o/

I started "showing" at about 14 weeks, but at that point i didn't look pregnant, I looked fat.. I'm almost 19 weeks now, and finally starting to look pregnant.. It'll happen soon enough for you! :)

I didn't pop properly until week 25. Even now I wake up with a smaller tum some mornings depending on where the baby is laying. It's my first pregnancy, I'm an average weight and not very tall. My sister is due within a day of me, and she was showing from about week 17.

I'm 14 1/2 w/twins and VERY thin (like the person you see and wonder if she's anorexic, but she's actually not -- that's me) ... and I'm still only at the "beer gut" stage, and typically w/twins your uterus is 6-8 weeks larger than with a singleton. I know a lot of people that didn't start really looking pregnant til 20-24 weeks with one baby. You're in the awkward stage, and it'll pass. Like danni179 said, you'll definitely wish you were smaller in a few weeks!! :)

While I am thicker in the middle for sure.. I am still waiting for the TRUE baby bump.. because when I tell people I am preggo they still don't believe it. lol. I am almost 21 weeks and this is my first, some of my friends told me that with their first they didn't have the true bump till 22-24 weeks. So.. just waiting.. :)

with your first baby you usually dont start to show until you are into your second trimester so 14wks+ but everyone varies, and you usually show earlier with second/third pregnancies since your body has already dont it once and knows what to do and it stretches easier the second time around.
With my first I wasn't noticibly pregnant until closer to 5 months along, this time I am very bloated and have a little belly like I did when I was more like 3-4 months along with my first, kinda scary :)
Believe me being smaller rather than larger is a bonus, you would get sick of hearing things like
"are you having twins" or " you must be due soon" :)
