Is anyone else starting to show already?

Life is Exciting

I haven't even had my first ultrasound to date my pregnancy, but I think I'm only between 5-7 weeks pregnant. 

I have only told a handful of people about the pregnancy, a close friend and coworker being one of them.  She told me today that I'm "definitely starting to show" and might have gently told me I should NOT wear what I was wearing yesterday again anytime soon, LOL.  What are friends for, right? 

This will be baby #2 for me and, partly because my C-section incision still bothers me sometimes, I didn't really do any workouts to tighten up my ab muscles after giving birth.  Also, I started showing with DS at 10-11 weeks, so I can understand early, but this seems crazy.

Anyone else showing yet?  I would love to know I'm not the only one.

i feel like i am, not sure if it's the early pregnancy bloat or what but my pants are getting tight and i haven't gained any weight. i think I'm about 5 weeks this is my 3rd child, they say you show earlier the more pregnancies you have. I'm kinda heavy tho so I probably just look like I've gotten fatter lol.

I am 7 weeks today with twins & am starting to get a small bump! My pants are getting snug. Trying to hide it while we are still keeping it a secret. It's my first pregnancy

I'm 9w2d, and I'm not "showing"- but I have some serious bloat happening.

When I had my twins I was completely showing at 12 weeks, even had to wear maternity jeans!

I am 8 weeks now and definitely showing, but it's because my previous pregnancy was twins.

Pants are most definitely tight - I'm not a small girl but I can't suck it in and fake it like I used to. I'm excited for people to be able to touch the bump once it's actually there. My sister already wants to just touch me, in general - and OH has taken to kissing my belly and saying "Hi little baby!"

I get extremely bloated after I eat or drink, and I'm only 106 pounds so I feel like I definitely look prego. My husband is already make fat jokes at me (we have that kind of relationship) and told me to go buy some me clothes and bras last night because I am so fat, lol

SDawson511

Very bloated!!! I swear I have a bump already but I'm only 5w3d. I have gained 5 lbs and my pants don't fit already!

mommaSimpkin

7 weeks and 4 days, and my pants are TIGHT. I have to unbutton them when I eat or it hurts. Heading to the store today to grab some leggings. This is my second pregnancy and my abdomin is getting hard. Its starting to form a bump, but my baby pouch from my first pregnancy is definitely still bigger than the small bump.
Get to see the baby via ultrasound next week.

Life is Exciting

Although I'm not too overweight, I carry a little extra around the midsection just because it's looser from my last pregnancy.  Right now, I feel like a stuffed sausage in all my clothes and definitely can't wait to actually look pregnant instead of like I am packing on the pounds.

BethP321

I used to have a flat stomach, so it's probably the extra pounds plus bloatage, but I can definitely see something going on. (: I am 10 weeks tomorrow, so give me a few more weeks I'll have a decent little bump.

olasade

My clothes Dont fit I'm 8 weeks. I'm really bloated this is my first baby

carlyhammond

9wks 2days here- first baby, I'm a thick girl. But my belly is hard and I'm definitely feeling like I've got a bump. I would call it a blump because it doesn't get bigger over the corse of the day. I wake up one size and I go to bed the same. I'm def getting something. I've joked with my SO that I have twins growing - I haven't had an u/s

vmaimacsiktay

This is my 3rd pregnancy but 2nd child if everything goes well! I've gained weight since my miscarriage a year ago so a food baby is showing. Bloated and no morning sickness just hungry ALL the time! Anyone have that?

Mamabeagle

I'm bloated since 4 weeks (6 now) but it's not too bad. I don't normally have a tummy so I've been wearing all my loose blouses to hide it at work. The other day I must have been backed up and over ate because my bloat was HUGE for about 24 hours.

laxdixdar

Add me to the bloat boat. It's ridiculous at this point. I have actually lost about 5lbs and I wear mostly loose fitting scrubs so the siE hasn't bothered me yet. I'll be 9wks tomorrow.

babybluu

No but at 9+3 I can feel the area right above my pelvis feels different. Like its thicker now. But when I physically push down with my hands I can't feel anything. There's some bloat for me but that's around my belly button. I can't wait to show though!

R0xy345

I am 9w2d also with twins and this is my 2nd pregnancy. I definitely can't hide that I'm expecting!! I already had to switch to maternity pants for comfort.

carmv01

9 weeks tomorrow. I've had so much bloat that sometimes I wish I were actually showing so I wouldn't have to hide it I'm normally small and built, 4'10" and 103 lbs pre-pregnancy, flat tummy. No room to grow but out, I guess! Pants have been getting tight and I have to resort to every loose top I own to hide my belly bloat lol. I do feel a definite bump in my lower abdomen just below my belly button when I'm laying flat on my back, though. Feels different for sure, thicker like someone else said. It reminds me that this will all be worth it in the end

jessikatwitch

I'm 9 weeks with my first. I'm a rather slender woman and my family and husband swear I've got a bump. I personally dont know if its a bump or weight gain/bloating (however I only have bloat/weight gain in my lower abdomen area) but either way it's exciting.

bkc92

Definitely bloated, pants tight. I have a bloat/tummy in any type of tight shirt, which I normally have a flat stomach, so I'm hoping no one notices. Maybe they'll just think I'm getting a gut

So glad to see this today, I'm 8.5 weeks and think I look unmistakenly pregnant. I've always got a little pooch, but its gotten much bigger and I can't suck it in well anymore. I always wear my clothes a little loose and wear alot of dresses without waistbands, so my clothes aren't feeling too tight, and I haven't gained any weight. If this is blating, its always the same, not better or worse with eating/sleeping/bathroom. Don't know how to hide this another 4 weeks until we planned to tell everyone!

I'm the opposite, I usually wear fitted stuff, especially with gym clothes. I've had to resort to loose, flowy tanks for the gym which is so unusual for me!

mandilindzi

I'm nine weeks with twins and I can no longer button my pants. I'm using a belli band for the time being. I'm avoiding maternity clothes for the moment.

mekaswifestyle

Well it depends on what you count girl its is probably a bloat bump but its happing because you are pregnant so technically youcould say your showing lol

SBH041815

I feel like I look pregnant or maybe just chubby at the moment. I think it's just bloat! I weighed myself this morning because I just feel so darn fat and luckily haven't gained anything yet so I am chalking it up to the bloat factor. 

joshandamandamay2011

I'm at 7 weeks and 3 days, and I have always had belly fat, but it's rounding out already. I know it's just bloat, but if you didn't know me before, you could assume I'm pregnant.

Love "boat bloat".

adcc43

I am 8w, 5d with baby 3 and defiantly am bloated. It is very hard for me to suck in all day at work.

sevnthdawn

I call it my blump (bloat bump)

KayTaylor14

I'm not "showing" but I'm 6 weeks with my rainbow baby and I never took off the 10 pounds I gained with my angel baby. So I'm feeling huge. I'm in maternity clothing simply because nothing of mine fits and I'm not gonna waste money on clothing I'll grow out of soon.

ShannonA1983

I'm 8w tomorrow and I'm so bloated/showing that my doctor is convinced I'm more like 11 weeks along... That or carrying twins... I haven't had my first ultrasound yet though so we will know shortly why I'm showing so much

kelsann15

I have bloating down pat lol... but it comes and goes is that okay bc it worries me sometimes.

Life is Exciting

I feel less like I'm showing today, so it's definitely bloat.  I'm wearing the same pants as yesterday, just in a different color, and they fit perfectly whereas I could barely button my pants yesterday.  Can't wait to actually show instead of just feeling fat.

kaykes86

I jus feel fat! I wanna believe its bloat but i havent been 'slim' for 2 years! Its fat and baby... has to be. Defo more fat than baby though lool

JuliaK2084

It looks like i am a few months. Major bloat. It's my second pregnancy. My stomach feels hard.

jonesl12

The bloat is awful and disgusting. That awful pooch I have sometimes is all gas and feces. That's what bloating is. Baby is the size of a blueberry and has nothing to do with my pooch and I can't wait till it chills out. :-w

When is a normal time to start showing? I'm 8w6d and my lower abdomen is starting to get really hard! Our wedding is coming up next month, I was hoping to not be showing too much because I wanted to keep my same dress but I'm starting to think I might be further along than we thought!! I haven't had an ultrasound and my first one isn't until June 24 :0

PageNJewelz

I'm definitly not showing. With my first pregnancy I didn't show until much later.

I was pretty early with DS.  I started showing for real around 11 or 12 weeks.  That doesn't seem to be the norm though.  Find a good seamstress who can let out your dress on short notice
