I am about 10 1/2 weeks pregnant and when I was about 8 weeks I thought I was showing, but later found out that it was just gas and bloating and now that most of that has stoped my flat stomach is back again. Is this normal, aren't I supposed to at least have some kinda bump? When do I start actually showing?

It depends on your body type. Sometimes ethnicity weighs in as well, I'm asian, and 5' 1", I didn't start showing til about 6 months. Most young women don't start showing til around then, not because anything is wrong, it's just with your first child, your uterus is places further back in your body. Around child number 2 is when you start showing sooner, and 3, you can tell within 2 months. Your uterus gradually moves forward wtih every child you have. So don't panic, it's perfectly normal. =]

Yes, that is normal. I started to 'show' around 8 weeks too and the doctor said it would go away, since it was gas. Mine didn't go away though.
I started 'really' showing at about 13-14 weeks...where people were noticing a difference. Now I am 21 weeks and now I can totally feel the 'bump' and it is starting to get in the way. :) I love it!

My sister started showing at 8 weeks; she's 16 weeks now and looks like she's around six months (not kidding). However, my OTHER sister didn't start loking any different at all until she was 16 weeks. Everyone is a little different - some people start getting a little bump almost immediately, and I've heard of women that don't show until around 6 months! Unless your doctor is concerned about it, I wouldn't worry at all. Be glad you can still fit into your clothes :)

You could be showing for real in the next couple of weeks if it isn't your first baby..usually the second time around you start showing sooner.
Otherwise,anywhere between 16 and 22 weeks you should deffinently have a nice 'bump'!

a lot of women do not show until at least 4 months. For me, I was showing at 4 months, but to most people I probably just looked chubby. It was not until about 6 months that I think I looked pregnant not fat.
good luck!

Typically with first children you tend to start showing between 5-6 months. With kids after that, it starts earlier, like month 3 or 4.

Anywhere from 4 to 6 months is when I heard that you seriously start showing.
