silly question and/or rant. i am currently 8 weeks pregnant and looking kind of "big" for how early i am. i was a few pounds overweight before getting pregnant, but i just look so.... huge... now. my waistline has almost disappeared. yet, whenever i google 8 week pregnancy stuff, all i see are these slim silhouettes (spelling?) of women, with a diagram of the 8 week old baby inside of them, and their tummies look "slim" as though they aren't even preggers. is anyone with me here? know what i'm talking about? is it normal to feel/look so big at 8 weeks?

I feel the same way, it gets worse by the end of the day. Last night my MIL said I was getting a baby bump...( I am on the thinner side) I told her that I was just bloated, but come on I'm only 9 weeks along.
It's most likely bloat ...
I had it too (as I'm sure we all did)
I was doing the gym 5 days a week before and was gettin pretty slim (not big to begin with) and then BAM baby in there and bump-o-rama ..... well bloat .... I look a lil big now for 14wks ..... but I have been a lil lazy
ditto, 100%

My BFP Chart
I am right there with you!
This is my 3rd time around, and I seem to show earlier each time. My torso is completely disproportionate to my legs, so I have nowhere to go, but out. I have already busted out the maternity pants
It's probably bloat, and fwiw, those pictures are never fair anyway!
