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!! :)

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 had severe bloating at the start so i looked like i had a bump from day one, but i'd wake up in the morning and it would be flat again! Around 15 weeks was when my belly never went down and it felt less gassy and more baby bump :) but everyone develops at different stages :)
Now at 28 weeks and my bump is starting to get heavy, so don't wish it upon yourself too soon :/ lol !!!

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 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.

I am just now getting to where I actually look like i have a bump. I am 18 almost 19 weeks. I have had a little tiny bump for a couple weeks,but not an actual bump that doesn't look like just pudge until now.

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! :)

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.. :)
