@cornwallfoodie when is your first ultrasound? Keep us posted! There actually is a little uncertainty around my EDD because my last period was extremely light. So hopefully this is cleared up in the first US. Hoping it's just bloat though bc the hubs and I have a trip to South America planned for November which likely won't happen if I'm too far along. Ohhhh fingers crossed!
I am 7w2d and can hardly button amy of my pants already! I know most of it is bloat but OMG its driving me crazy. We are trying to not tell a lot of people yet because of my loss 2 years ago, but pretty soon everyone will know just by looking at me
I'm super bloated and none of my clothes fit and this is my first. Currently 7w 6d. You're not alone!
Feel you pain I'm so bloated can't wear any of my jeans already first baby and already dreading being huge I'm 7 w 4d we think got scan tomorrow to find out exactly how long I am
Total bloat job here. I'm 10wks2d. Doesn't help that during my tww, we did artificial, I was on progesterone suppositories, and took them through this past Saturday. Thank god I can stop eating so much! But the bloat is definitely there. I feel like I'm huge. And probably 4 people have asked me about being pregnant. Ugh! So I must look it?!?!?
I have said bye bye to my skinny jeans. The mix of bloating and constipation is not doing well for my low waisted pants and its giving me a tummy ache.
The only person who thinks I look pregnant is my husband. Pretty sure he just likes to tease me.
My DH made a comment about me showing the other day......I told him it was just the food baby....... The actual baby wouldn't start showing for quite a while.
I just want to hide away from work until after 12 weeks when I want to tell people I'm actually pregnant! Someone at work the other day asked me if I was purely based on the fact that I looked fatter
To show a progression of uterus size/position as well as the movement of your other organs to make room! I laughed because it shows how small and low the uterus is during the first trimester but meanwhile the artist made the woman's midsection get bigger with bloating.
It's still just bloat. Here's a graph showing the approximate size and position of your uterus right now.
This is a great graphic and also I saw this link:

That progression is awesome. I know that a lot of what we see is bloat, BUT while i knew it wasn't baby we were seeing I kept thinking even if my uterus is still behind my pelvis it is already 3 times it's normal size, it's gotta be pushing other stuff out of the way and the only way to go is up and then out.... add that to the bloat and boom, you have a little bump. I know it isn't actually the baby, but it is definitely because of baby so yeah.... I'm showing.
We have already announced, and I had someone at work come up and so, "Oh, you're pregnant? I just thought you had gained a lot of weight." Thanks.
BFP 6/16/13 ~ EDD 2/22/14 ~ CP 6/20/13 @ 4W3D
BFP 1/1/14 ~ EDD 9/6/14 ~ CP 1/4/14 @ 4W2D
BFP 6/24/15 ~ EDD 3/6/16 ~ Here's hoping 3rd time is a charm!
Even though I'm a chunky butt with pcos, I look like I'm 4-5 months along. My uterus may still be small but Iit's pushing everything else up and out! And add on bloat in the pm.
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
I guess it's bloat because I can't suck in no more! I haven't been eating much with the morning sickness but my tummy definitely looks bigger. And my nipples too! I hate how they look (big and dark brown) when I am pregnant. I guess I don't show them to everyone so it's ok.
9 weeks and 1 day and someone at work yesterday asked if I was pregnant. She said I have a belly...I was waiting until 12 weeks to tell people but my belly has other ideas!
This is my second baby but this little "lime", as the bump likes to refer to it this week, is def pushing things north making giving me a bump. Now, granted I did just have emergency surgery in April and my torso is not yet healed completely and due to that my OB has said I will show sooner.
The only thing I'm showing is donuts. But I am hoping even though it's baby number 2 I don't show for a while. I don't want to tell people too soon. However I'm looking forward to wearing maternity jeans in Thanksgiving
Definitely went up over a cup size in the boob area!! They are still very painful right now. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and I look very bloated. After I eat it looks like I'm pregnant for sure. This is also my second.

This is me to a 't'! I am 11 weeks today and I swear 99% of the 4+lbs that I have gained is all in the boobs. They're *at least* a cup and half size bigger.
Yeah definitely just bloating going on at 7 weeks 3 days and it's quite annoying! Everything just feels tight I've been rotating the same jeggings since all my jeans are just super tight on me but I'm still hiding my tummy because it's poking out and I know some people would ask about it at work so I'm wearing very flow like blouses these days to cover it.
I know! Maxi skirts at work and flowy tops with a distracting pattern to hide the bump/bloat! My boobs have gone up more than a cup size too and are so painful!! I hope the pain goes away soon! It's even hard to lay sideways! So ready to go buy some maternity pants and be comfy!
Showing at 8 1/2 weeks, second pregnancy and having twins. Bloat or not, can't fit into my old clothes any more and can definitely see a difference when looking at photos
A friend definitely looked at my tummy a second too long in the supermarket earlier but it's just bloat / like everyone else can't be bothered to hold it in!
8wks and 3 days and I have lost 3 lbs since I found out I was pregnant, but I look like I've gained 10! None of it looks like a baby bump though, I just look pudgy (
Only showing because things are starting to get squashed up :-( I'm in that stage of looking pregnant or fat.... that stage that people are always afraid to ask you about... sigh. My dh gave me the eye roll yesterday when I asked if I looked fat or pregnant... he of corse answered correctly but because it's a squishy bump and not the hard baby bump I feel fat...
I know everyone wants the cute bump but unless Edward Cullen got around this winter you're only showing bloat and some mild shifting of organs (unless it's multiples or you have reached the twelve week mark and have a tiny bump that likely no one but you notices). Why? Because science. Fwiw I wasn't noticeably ktfu until 25ish weeks to others and I'm on the slender side.
I am HUGE. I already look like I'm 4 months... I've heard you show quicker on your second pregnancy & I guess they weren't kidding... Skinny jeans, I miss you already. : /
I honestly think everyone's different. With my daughter they thought I was carrying multiples due to my uterus measuring 3-4 weeks ahead of schedule. Nope one baby, my uterus just grew quicker then normal. So yes it is possible that your uterus is bigger then it should be.
You look beautiful with your little bump. And hearing your babys heart for the first time will fill you with joy and love. Don't listen to the negative in the world... your beautiful and loved. You may not think so at this point but the child inside of you loves you!
I'm 9 weeks today and I weigh much less than pre-pregnancy and continue to lose weight. I have bloat though so it evens out to look just normal... Last pregnancy I gained 60 pounds so hopefully this one will equal out at the end.
Re: Anyone showing yet??
Your uterus is still behind your pubic bone at week 12.
