Who is showing?

Just curious when you all are starting to show.... I've always had a little "pooch" and I've also felt bloated for weeks. But my pants are feeling tight and I prefer stretchy pants and skirts.  

Re: Who is showing?

  • Depending on how far along you are it might just be bloat.

  • I'm definitely showing, 12 weeks yesterday. But, this is also my second baby. I've been showing for a few weeks now. Definite bump, not bloat.

  • This is my first baby and I am 11 weeks. How do you tell the difference between bloat and bump?

  • First thing in the morning is easiest for me. I haven't eaten or drank anything. I have no bloat in the morning. Of course, by the afternoon, I look like I'm about 6 months along.

  • I feel like I'm showing but I know it's just bloat. I was giving myself shots in the stomach for IF treatments weeks before my ET, and they made me bloated too.

  • Me. I did IVF, though and I'm normally a size 2, so between the giant ovaries and small frame there's been no hiding bloat/belly since around 9 weeks. I actually got a belly pat on Friday. <img src="https://community.thebump.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-8.gif"

  • I know last time around I looked bloated and just ick up until about 16 weeks when it was actually baby bump. Right now I just look bloated. No 'real' bump yet.

  • I am just over 11 weeks and am not showing at all. :/ I was pretty thin pre-pregnancy so I assumed I would balloon practically immediately. I was pretty bloated at first but it went away. I do have a little pooch but I'm not sure if that's baby or what's

  • I'm 9weeks and defiantly not showing yet my tummy is still squashy, is anyone's hard yet? Don't feel pregnant atall apart from sore boob sometimes
  • I really thought I was until this last week when it went away. I had done IVF and I was bloated from that and had early pregnancy bloat. Both kiddos are fine with good heartrates. My tummy was softish and from what I was told, the baby bump is hard.

  • I would say, at just over 11 weeks, that I'm starting to show. My tummy is definitely less squishy, but not rock hard yet. I have had a couple people mention that they've noticed I have a little pouch. I'm definitely not fitting in most of my regular pant

  • I'm showing - and have been since about week 8.5/9.  But, as a PP mentioned - this happens earlier with those carrying multiples.  Lucky me, I look like most women carrying singletons look at 6 months! Lol

  •  Well, I'm a plus-sized woman anyway, so I'm not sure. I definitely feel bloated but I also see how things are starting to take shape (rounding out, getting firm to the touch, etc).</
  • I'm 13 weeks today and somewhere midway through last week my belly began to look more like a rounder pooch than bloat belly... I didn't think it was noticeable to others yet but one of my coworkers asked my boss if I was pregnant...soooo I guess I was wro
  • Yesterday was the first day I had a really hard time finding something to wear :( It's still bloat, but most of my shirts are form fitting and give everything away. I've had to switch to the few shirts I have that I only used to wear if I knew I was go

  • I'm definitely a big ball o bloat. Being barrel chested doesn't help. It's all right out there. I told my staff on Friday about the pregnancy and they were all like, we wondered why you were getting a pooch. Thanks gals, thanks.

  • Sadly enough, even though I feel it's mostly bloat, I was asked by two people at work if I am pregnant and if I was far enough along to tell the sex...

     

    Both times in the afternoon after lunch. 

  • definitely think I'm starting to show! It feels a little harder than usual. I've been wearing nothing but "fat pants" and baggy shirts! Just bought maternity pants a few days ago.
