everyone is different, my friend was huge at 3 months, she looked more like 6 months. some people dont start looking pregnant til about 6 months, i would say you will be like your mom, ask her when she started showing and you will probably be the same

It depends on your pre-pregnancy body type and how many children you've had. Thin people tend to show a little earlier as do shorter people. And most women that have had children before show a little sooner because the stomach muscles are already streched out. Generally, for an average size person, around 12 to 14 weeks a little "pouch" can be seen.

Anywhere from now on up. Depends on your body and if you have extra weight. A really thin person will start showing soon, a heavier person may not show till they are 20 or so weeks. I started showing at about 15 weeks, then at 6 months, I blew up, lol. Don't worry, you'll get there and when you do, you're gonna need some new jeans!

It really depends. I have 3 children and pregnant with my fourth. My first you couldn't even tell I was pregnant at 6 months. My second by my 5th months I was huge. My third I am sorry I can't remember. And now I am 13 weeks and my lower abdomen is a little round by anyone looking at me wouldn't be able to tell if I am pregnant. You will show eventually and then you will be saying "Wow, I am huge" good luck to you and I hope you have a fairly easy pregnancy.

Realistically, no one will 'KNOW' you're pregnant just by looking until around 6 months.
Think about the pregnant women you see and how far along they are...you never hear anyone being asked when they're due or how far only to find out they are 5 months pregnant or less.
You may notice a bit of growth in the area below your belly button before 20 weeks but if it is your first pregnancy it won't be a great deal. (usually)

That depends on your body type, how you are carrying, and some other factors. My mother never showed. With my first, a girl, I showed at about 5 months. With the second, a boy, it wasn't until about 6 months that I showed.

I didnt start to "show" until about the beginning of month 7. But I have a long waist. Shorter people tend to show sooner.

You will notice your own belly before others do. You will have a little pot between 3-5mths. You may be able to squeeze into normal clothes until about 6mths. It really depends on your build. I have a friend who is short and she always had to wear maternity clothes from the start and therefore everyone knew. I was able to wear normal clothes until 5mths when I started to feel fat because I couldn't fit into normal clothes but maternity clothes were too big.
Congratulations!
