I don't know what my uterus feels like, it's all tummy to me. And I'm not going to start prodding and poking down there!! Anyways I look fat to those who don't know and pregnant to those who do...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I have no idea what it is supposed to feel like. I'm sure pressing around where it is supposed to be won't hurt LO, I just don't want to risk it. I guess we'll just have to wait a little longer to be sure.
I had to give up real pants already. I'm 13.5 weeks and I wouldn't call it a bump but by night time after dinner it looks like I did at like 20 weeks with DD. I'm about to need a new bra size which did not change when I was pregnant with DD.
I wore a pair of regular jeans to dinner on Friday night and as soon as I got in the car, the zipper came down. All weekend, it was leggings and sweaters. This week, I have had a really hard time fitting into any of my clothes for work. It doesn't help that I usually wear pencil skirts.
I am about getting ready to not be able to hide it anymore.
I'm nearly 12 weeks with my first and I was feeling quite bloated a week ago... this was after the sickness subsided and I was SO excited to eat (so I ate anything and everything). Now that I've cleaned up my eating, increased water intake and control my calories I'm back down to my normal weight (no more bloat) and other than GIANT boobies don't look pregnant at all- hoping to hide it for a few more weeks but I know my mom and MIL are ready for that bump to pop. I can feel a little hardness above my pelvic bone which I'm sure is my uterus so I think I must be getting close... All bumps look good on everyone here! Congrats ladies! Own it!
I look like I'm showing just a little bit. Not too noticeable in loose fitting tops. But my fitted shirts are definitely feeling more snug and my yoga pants are too uncomfortably tight across my belly to wear anymore. BUT it still could very much be just bloating at this point. I'm 13 weeks and 3 days.
I am definitely starting to show a little bit. I'm also at 14w but there is firmness under my stomach flab around where the uteris is though. Feel like (as someone mentioned earlier) trying to squeeze a softball into my jeans. I said no to this and have already started wearing maternity jeans when I go out, and I'm luck to be able to wear yoga/dance pants for my job. Everyone at the dance studio swears I'm starting to show EVERYTIME I come in, and I've been gently saying it's just bloat and Pudge, but one of the moms pointed out that my belly is taking a different shape, and I'm barely pushing on the bottom of my stomach now. Lol, w/E I'll take it at this point!
I'm 12 weeks, 1 day with my first. I've been showing a tiny bit since around week 11, but it's significantly more noticeable this week. Even when I (try to) suck it in. I think it's a bit early to start showing, but I'm quite petite so that might be part of the reason.
I've been in unzipped jeans and belly bands since week 10, and my shirts are starting to look a bit short. I guess I assumed I'd have another month or so before needing new clothes?! :-?
Good thing I only have one more week left until we will finally start telling a few more people.
Update * 12 w3d flat belly in the am and still looks like I'm carrying around a mountain of poo and gas by 2 pm. Hoping by week 14 -16 it chills out and it will actually be a real bump not the food I ate yesterday .
Tomorrow is 14 weeks for me, and I officially can't fit in my work pants. I'm a little bummed because most people around my size that I talked to said they didn't show or need bigger clothes until about 16 weeks. I think I've already gained 10 lbs. any thoughts on this?
im not showing yet, I do have to unbutton my pants and I have major cramping in my liagemnts around my uterus when I move suddenly, but not real bump yet:( 13 weeks
Wondering if I should be worried after reading all this! I'm 14 weeks with baby #2. Less bloated than last pregnancy and not showing at all. I'm 5'5" and 113lbs. Hope someone else is in the same boat!
I'm 10 weeks and haven't thickened up much yet in my midsection, just my chest. I was a 32D before and I'm already DD/DDD material now. Super uncomfortable. I hope it's not too noticeable.
@jordanbara you shouldn't be worried at all! The bloat has gone WAY down for me at this point (13 weeks on Tuesday)... the only reason that I'm so fluffy is because I have already gained 10+ pounds, eating carbs all day every day through the nausea. You're totally fine.

I'm kinda liking the bigger boobs I went from a small 34b to a 34d in 2012 after surgery and now I'm 12w4d and I'm a 34 DD. maybe it's because bigger boobs are still new to me in general but so far I see it as a perk ( minus the soreness sometimes )
I'm only 12 weeks, and this is my first pregnancy. My mother warned me that women in our family have short torsos and show early, but I'm really struggling to hide it. I recognize that a lot of it is bloat, but everything that was already there is getting pushed up and out as the uterus expands. I'm hoping it will stay the same size for a while and just become firmer. I've gained 6 lbs., but my doctor said that was just fine.
So... 13 weeks and I'm still not really showing unless I'm gassy... Lol. Even my almost "A" ladies have only filled out to a true "A" despite hurting and itching like the dickens! After seeing the ultrasound lady sake the wand into my belly to get the baby to turn over, I figured poking wasn't to bad for him. But even when I poke I don't feel anything. And I've gained 5 pounds even though I seriously haven't been eating any more than normal! Perhaps it's because I have a long torso? I've always been able to hide weight gain pretty well in the past...
@korpatch I didn't feel movement til about 20 weeks with DS and didn't show til 28 weeks (8 have photo evidence lol). You're fine. If you don't show for that long you will get lots of comments though. that's a peach.
First BFP 12/2012, MMC at 9 weeks
Second BFP 6/2013, resulted in DS, born 2/23/14 :-)
Third BFP 5/2015, natural MC at 6 weeks
Fourth BFP 8/2015, hoping for sticky little brother or sister to H!

Oh also for what it's worth my boobs didn't really get bigger with my first pregnancy (but they were very tender), and I had great breastfeeding success. This pregnancy they have actually shrunk a bit because I went from nursing DS once a day to maybe once a week and I think now we may officially be done. My bras look huge :-(

In the mornings I am not showing at all and my normal pants fit fine. After lunch I end up with some serious bloat, so I would say not showing yet, but wearing maternity pants so I am still comfortable in the afternoon. I can not wait for a cute baby bump tho!
Not really showing that much - cute little bump when I lay on my back but that's about it... regardless pants are the enemy right now. They come off as soon as I get home. Was really sad when I had to wear pants this past weekend because we were visiting family.
I've been in maternity pants for weeks! No shame in my game. Still wearing long/baggy tunics rather than maternity shirts though since I haven't broken the news at work.

I am showing, but I am also already fat. So my 3 baby belly, now turned 4 baby belly is comfortably pushing the organs north as the baby and uterus expand (this is my 4th pregnancy, I am not pregnant with quintuplets.... yikes). I am sure people just think I have gained 10lbs+.
Re: Anyone showing at all yet?
I am about getting ready to not be able to hide it anymore.
Hoping by week 14 -16 it chills out and it will actually be a real bump not the food I ate yesterday .
I'm 11 weeks. I wasn't expecting to show so early but this is #4 for me.
