if its your 1st baby, than probably around 3mths+, near to 4mths....
if its not your 1st baby, likely to show around 2-3mths...

Different people will be different.. For me,1st pregnancy showed tummy at 5mths,looks like I'm fat at tummy than pregnant..tummy was small,many said I looked like only 6mths pregnant when I was going to give birth the next day.. Now 2nd pregnancy,tummy started showing at 3mths already,now less than 2mths to EDD,my tummy is already bigger than my previous pregnancy.. I can't fit into some of my maternity/transition dresses already..

I'm 26 weeks and not showing at all.....
Wow! This is my first pregnancy. At 8 weeks, i feel that i'm losing my waistline already ... not that its showing to the external world but i don't know why i'm growing sideways (without any weight gain at all!!)
AND I DON'T WANT TO ANNOUNCE SO SOON!!!!!! just started my new job 1 month ago.. cannot afford not to get confirmed and get dismissed because of my pregnancy

I was just called for an interview..but they know I am pregnant and due in august. So i told them i don't need the maternity 4 months leave. just 1 month of unpay. 1st pregnancy..some ppl grow front some side. I am growing towards the back. that's why not really showing but my back aches like crazy.Wow! This is my first pregnancy.

the skinnier u r, the more it will show.
i joined aqua aerobics and we were comparing tummies (swimming costume, easier to compare. lol!). i was 6 mths and my tummy was as big as some1 who is 4 mths.. coz i'm fatter so i think fats can be compressed easily so it won't bulge so much. hehe!
i think if i step into the mrt then, no1 will give seat to me coz they can't tell is it i fat or pregnant.. that's y no1 give their seat to me until it's really obvious at ard 7+ months. >.<

my first too... tummy showing at week 13 now. before that was just bloated, and also i am "fat-based" to begin with ... ke ke ke
My first pregnancy only showed at 7 months. Everyone guessed I'm having a boy cos I didn't look pregnant from the back view even at 40 weeks! Still had a waist and skinny arms and legs. And even then my tummy was very small, during labour, the midwives were commenting on how tiny my tummy was for a full term 40 week baby - I looked like most ppl at 6-7 mths. Anyway my first kid is a girl, so the old wives' tales are wrong!
This time round, 2nd pregnancy its obvious now at 18 weeks. =)

Many said 2nd pregnancy onwards,tummy will easily show up v soon n much bigger tummy than 1st pregnancy..not sure how true it is for others,but for me it sure is this way.. I'm guessing issit bcuz our tummy surrounding skins n tissues have been stretched by 1st pregnancy,so 2nd pregnancy(onwards) will easily stretch around n show up faster? Like 1st pregnancy needs to stretch n change to adapt to pregnancy that's why show up slower/lesser?
