When does a tummy start showing in pregnancy?

I'm in my first trimester and my clothes still fit fine, but my friends keep saying my tummy will pop soon. My mother-in-law also asks if I've started showing yet. When does a tummy generally start showing in pregnancy for most women?

For me, it was around the 4th month for the first time. Everyone is different, and body type plays a role. Just make sure you are eating healthy for both you and baby, managing sugar levels is important.

Usually, around 12-16 weeks is when you might start seeing a little bump, especially if it's your first baby. But for some, it's later, and for others, earlier, especially with subsequent pregnancies or if you're quite thin.

My wife's tummy was showing after the first trimester, mostly bloat then baby. Now, I just wish it would show less so she stops asking me to get ice cream at 3 AM. 😂 Sleep, what's that?

Lol, my didi's tummy showed pretty late, like 5-6 months. But my aunt's bump was visible super early, maybe 3rd month only. So I guess it's totally different for everyone.
