Hey, I know we're all hormonal pregnant crazy people right now, but you don't have to be so rude about a first timer. I'm a first timer and I keep making up stupid symptoms because I'm EXCITED! What is wrong with that. You can continue to politely decline that someone is showing, but you don't have to get sarcastic and rude to someone you don't even know. That's all I'm saying. 

No, just no. How many times/people does it take to get the point that you are not showing? What's RUDE is coming to a forum to ask for advice, receiving several nice replies which answer your question, but then insisting that the experienced people you are asking for help because you don't know anything about pregnancy are all wrong and you are right.

That deserves a rip.

Um, no. Im not a crazy hormonal person. I'm actually using science because the uterus isn't big enough to make a bump at that point. Nothing to do with opinion.

Omg a woman quoting science!!?!?. Help, police! Someone get a straightjacket, she's out of the kitchen!!

Regardless of "showing" v. "not-showing", you may want to consult with your doctor. My husband and I felt like I was probably farther along than what we were originally quoted. Sure enough, our first ultrasound confirmed that we were in fact 10 weeks and not 7. While three weeks is not a significant amount of time, it at least helped me account for a few weeks of weight gain, increased bloating and fatigue.

If this were a child beyond your first. I could buy the tighter pants line a bit more than "showing" I am not sure how you are defining "showing" just as if you ask 5 people how big an inch is you'll get five different answers in return.  

This is my 4th child and my pants are getting tighter quicker than the last 3 pregnancies but I am by now means showing.   Showing to me is being able to walk down a street, see an old friend, and they go - hey, "are you pregnant ?"  (Because only friends would ask that right LMAO)

As far as the hardness on your belly, this is common but it is not an indicator of how large your uterus is.  Your body is going through changes quickly as you have to start to build a home for the bean that will sprout into a watermelon.  

I hope this helps.  But if in doubt do talk to your doctor.

Best!
