@Jlk2016 yeah I'm due 2/1 and I'm 12 weeks tomorrow. But I think new term is 13 weeks is 2nd tri? Blah I don't know. Whatever I'll go with majority rules on this one. .
10w2d, nothing yet. Belly isn't as toned and my butt is getting bigger, that's 100% related to the fact that I haven't been hiking since getting my BFP and have only gone running once...
I know there's no possible way I'm showing yet. I'm only 8+6. But I do feel crazy bloated and everything fits quite tight. Today while shopping, the cashier asked how far along I was. I lied and said 4 months because I was so embarrassed. But I guess that's better than having to answer with "I'm not pregnant"
I have moved to maternity pants by 8 weeks (9w3d now). It made my nausea a lot worse to have anything snug over my stomach.
With my first, I don't think I noticed much change til about 16 weeks. This time around it definitely happened much faster.
Main most cases, I find that we (the moms to be) notice changes in our body much more than others. Several of my girlfriends have commented on their early pregnancies how they are "showing so early" and I honestly can't tell a difference.
Note - I never told them that because I didn't want to upset them!
I look like I'm showing (like more than halfway through the pregnancy huge) but I know it's just a combo of bloat and being overweight to begin with. Everyone from random strangers on the street to my DH and mom have been commenting how it looks like twins. I don't think so and think it's weird how everyone thinks it's cool to comment on it.
This particular comment makes me so upset. I got this response with my first pregnancy. People don't know what's going on inside of you - many women were pregnant at one point with twins and only one ends up being viable. I know people don't mean to be jerks but that comment can be really upsetting to some moms! Not only that but also the fact that they are making mention of your size which is totally uncool anyways.
Yup. Lemme go on record right now and commit to personally slapping the shit out of any person who makes this comment to me.
I'm definitely showing. Like others have said, I know it's not baby, but I look pregnant. It's my 3rd pregnancy, I'm 4'11" and have about 4 inches worth of torso, lol.
I'm 9&4 with my 3rd in 5 yRs. I am blumpy AF. Andalso I answered the door this evening with my jeans very obviously unbuttoned. So the belly is out and the shame is out the window. Obviously bloat though.
One of the bumpies with my daughter had two kids prior to that was was showing by about 10w or so. Like, REALLY showing. It's crazy.
I'd like to think that nothing is showing, bloat or no. It is though. Whatever it is, it's showing and I'm only 10w. Maybe it's just bloat and it'll go away, but I'm thinking it probably wont. My torso is pretty short so I wouldn't mind not showing until later. My poor lungs hate my pregnant self by about 27w or so.

11+2. I'm in the awkward "don't necessarily look pregnant, but definitely look chubby" phase. I don't have a cute baby bump yet, but my tummy is bigger than it was 6 weeks ago for sure.
I don't particularly like looking pregnant, but actually looking pregnant vs this phase is preferable to be sure.

I am 11.5 weeks, bloated and finally have boobs again! (They were sucked dry breastfeeding last time) Apparently my pregnancy is "obvious this time", since my neighbour told me I look chubby (I am petite), right after she told me how much cats are better than kids. #wtf

I hate it too when people say "it must be a boy!" Then I say "why?" "Because you're being a "bish"" (or something along those lines) that really gets me going, and my mom said it just a couple days ago!! She also said it while pregnant with #2 and "it" was born a GIRL!
@Shawlls your neighbor sounds like a great joy (wink** NOT)
@GlitterDragon@Jlk2016 and whoever else... I'd be ok with the bump pics by 12 weeks, plus I really want to see @HeatSparks twin bump!!
On to showing, I can tell my clothes fit tighter and I haven't worn jeans in weeks now, they were causing too much pressure and got uncomfortable. But my husband walked by today and saw my belly stick out of my shirt (I was lounging on couch) and he kind of tickled it so I know he's starting to tell too. But really the other night we had umm sex, and I couldn't hardly breathe. I forgot about that whole not breathing while pregnant thing but I felt like I was huffing and puffing in a bad way just to get some air lol... the babe is definitely getting in my way already weather I look big or not.
I am only 8w5d but I have some serious bloat going on. I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been walking around work with my pants unbuttoned since lunch (luckily I was wearing a long and somewhat flowy shirt that covered it)...
I'm 10&3 today. I felt like I was showing, that my usual flub was more pregnant looking, but then based on where MW found baby with u/s I was very wrong!

Prior to my pregnancy I had lost a lot of weight. For some people they always felt like it was ok to comment on how big I was before, or how much better I looked "now" - backhanded compliments.
Anyway, I knew that I'd probably get my fair share of comments about gaining weight with the baby after losing all the weight before. Now, I can tell that I'm a little "softer" around the middle these days (12+4), but thought I was hiding it pretty well - I've technically only gained about 4 pounds. Turns out maybe I'm not hiding it so well?
Yesterday, I announced to a friend and she actually said to me "I was wondering why you might have put in a few pounds you know, because you have" - um .... WTF!? Why to people feel like it's perfectly ok to comment on other people's bodies?

I really don't understand women's constant need to validate weight gain(not saying you are, your friend). Life happens, and sometimes that's what matters more. I'm sorry that your friend was insensitive, but just remember those extra pounds are to sustain a brand new life. Rock it!
My sister has said similar comments, and honestly she has some body issues of her own. I'm perfectly capable not being a size 2 anymore, but my sister has asked if I miss my pre-baby body, and that she just couldn't imagine putting her body through that. Eh, to each their own. I try to live & let live, but sometimes those comments really hurt!
Thanks for the reinforcement! I swear felt like I had to justify that I had only gained a couple of pounds. So what?! I'm growing a life - and even if I wasn't, why do people feel like it's ok to judge?
When I lost the weight, a big part of the reason was to HELP me be able to get pregnant. I ended up really getting into the whole healthy lifestyle thing and not just doing it to lose weight/inches/dress sizes. I don't ever plan on putting back that 130 pounds that I lost, but you're supposed to put on SOME when you're pregnant for goodness sake.
Somehow I just knew I'd be getting "gaining the weight back" comments from the same people who didn't know how to compliment me on the way down without making me feel bad in the first place. THANKS SO MUCH for letting me vent it out!
Well clearly I am showing and way more than I should be for 9 weeks, hahaha. Butt not as someone who has recently lost weight but as someone who is dealing with thyroid problems that are still unresolved I think that most strangers, or even acquaintances like other moms from school at cetera will just assume I've gotten fatter because, well I'm already on the heavier side. That's a little frustrating to me because seriously this would have been like really letting myself go, LOL. For me too I actually haven't gained any weight it has all just shifted.
No one should make you feel bad about your body growing a baby. Losing 130 pounds is amazing, but growing a baby is even more amazing. Be proud of that!
