When did you start showing?

Just curious...

For those of you who are pregnant, or have been pregnant in the past, when did it become clearly visible to others that you are pregnant?

I'm 24 weeks pregnant now, and totally feel pregnant myself (because I can tell my stomach is growing and can feel my little one squirming inside), but when I tell others I am pregnant, they still get surprised and say they can't tell. Just wondering when you all really started showing.

Everyone is different. With my 2nd pregnancy, when I was 5 months I looked as big as some others that were getting ready to deliver! By the time I did deliver - I looked like I was carrying around a watermelon. And "way back then" - the maternity clothes were always loose fitting - not like the clingy clothes you pregnant girls wear today. Even with the loose tops - they were stretching tight across my watermelon - and I'm not a big person either!
