Are you showing yet? If so, when did you start?

Okay, I find this really weird and I don't know if it's just in my head or not. I only got my BFP 2 days ago and I'm like 4 weeks along. The day I tested I was wearing jeans that seemed to fit well, however, I did notice that I had pooch in my stomach that day. I thought I was just having a fat day. I could swear my belly has been slightly bigger each day since. Is this happening to anyone else?

Re: Are you showing yet? If so, when did you start?
Im showing now...at about 10 weeks however I am having twins and am 5'1, 113 (pre-pregnancy).
I did have bloat as early as 5 weeks though....so no worries. as my husband says, "well you ARE pregnant!!"
I wouldn't say I'm "showing", but I've had enough bloat for my clothes to be uncomfortable for sure. On bad days, I look about 4 or 5 months pg. :O
Trust me, when you are actually showing, you'll know the diffference. It's just way too early for that at this point.
I had a really bad bloat at 4-5w but that subsided quickly. I have a fairly flat stomach so for myself and my husband, we can tell I'm sporting a small bump (new this past week). I don't think anyone else would be able to tell in all honesty though.
If this is your first, yes, it's in your head that you're showing 2 days after your BFP. That, and you're likely bloated.
I'm bloated, but don't expect to show for at least a month (6w now).

I was super bloated for several weeks, but I can tell a big difference from my bloat to this little bump. My stomach also got really hard when I started showing.
This, I started showing last week though.
I have a tummy, so I don't think I will "show" for a little while still, however, right above my pubic bone it's really hard, so I am assuming that is baby.
(I do rub my bloat and pretend the baby is there...it would look weird I think if I rubbed my crotch and talked to it. This way is much more acceptable.)
4 weeks is early to show.
Im sure its just bloat.
Im 8 weeks and am NOT showing but am very bloated.
Bahaha! Thanks for the laugh!
Just today, I'm starting to feel bigger. I'm not sure if it's baby or bloat, but either way the real bump is just around the corner and I'll have to kiss my favorite jeans bye-bye for a while.
With my first I hid it until 16 wks from work, but started wearing maternity pants around 13 wks.
This time I am still hiding it (barely) and I started wearing maternity pants yesterday.
I have been bloated for weeks though. I am also short-ish (5'4") with a short torso so I think that works against me. LOL.

Probably just bloated! lol! Not trying to burst your bubble,but I found out I was preg at 5 weeks, and a week later my jeans were tight! It never really went away either.
With all due respect, your baby is the size of a poppyseed, so you are not showing yet. The first few weeks you may be very bloated - I certainly was with my first. It subsided and then I started showing around 20 weeks. Of course everyone will show at different times, but it's not happening at 4 weeks.
Make a pregnancy ticker
you deffenitely not showng yet
Look for fetal development pictures
Pregnancy hormones can cause things like bloating ect ..
