My friend's wife, first pregnancy, started showing around the fourth month. Before that, you couldn't tell. But for her second, it was way faster, like three months maybe. Depends on the person, I guess.

For my first, it was about 16 weeks when I really started to pop! Before that, it was just bloating. For my second, it was noticeable way earlier, around 10-12 weeks. Every body is different, and every pregnancy can be too.

For first-time moms, it's usually around 12-16 weeks when the bump becomes visible, as the uterus expands. Regular, doctor-approved exercise can help with muscle tone, but it won't hide the bump; it's a natural progression.

Most women start showing visibly between 12-16 weeks for their first pregnancy, sometimes earlier for subsequent ones. However, if you have concerns about your belly size or any other symptoms, it's always safest to consult your gynaecologist.

For a first-time pregnancy, women typically start showing around 12 to 16 weeks. For subsequent pregnancies, it can be earlier. It's normal for everyone to be a bit different, so don't compare too much.

I'm 10 weeks and still just feel bloated, no real bump. Is it normal to not show yet? I see some people online who look pregnant earlier. Just wondering if others felt the same with their first.
