Are you showing?

So, I heard that non first time moms show their bump sooner. So I’d like to know how accurate this theory is. What number pregnancy are you in, how many weeks are you and so you feel any change yet? 

Re: Are you showing?

    I am very bloated but not showing as my baby is the size of a pea. This is my second baby.

    Second baby and I'm fluffy, so no. I don't expect to until around 15-17 weeks

    Not showing. First time but I feel like I will start showing by week 12 or even earlier. 😊 I'm very small and have a short torso. If there were a plum sized thing in there + attachments, I think I would be able to tell.

    I just look bloated. I did read in one of my pregnancy books about the "warmed-up effect" where if this isn't your first pregnancy then your uterus can expand faster so you get bigger faster.

    I’m super bloated, and haven’t lost the last 5 to 10lbs from the last babe/COVID anxiety eating plus a bit of diastasis recti so I already had a little pouch going on that could be a questionable pregnancy belly.  I can’t wait to start showing for real so I don’t just feel out of shape anymore lol.

    Y’all this is my third and I’m 6 weeks STRANGERS are asking when I’m due...I’m short and pretty thin so like I don’t blame them I know is some bloat but I also thing 3 back to back babies and my body is just like “hang on we know what to do.”

    With my first it wasn't noticeable until about 15-16 weeks and I told my boss at 16 weeks because I felt I couldn't hide it anymore. With my second, I told my boss at 13 weeks because I was busting out of my pants and started showing by 10 weeks. Now with my third, I'm at almost 6 weeks and can't suck in my stomach much, but not showing showing just yet. I have a belly regardless, so curious when I won't be able to hide anymore.

    I can't fit into my normal pants anymore. I know it's mostly bloat but this didn't happen the first time. I don't think its noticeable yet/
  • Options
    I don't have a bump, but the bloat is awful and my pants feel tight.  3rd kid. 7 weeks.  I think. (I should probably start a tracker-poor third kid)

    Google tells me no, but I certainly look and feel like a have a belly. Probably just bloating, though.

    Last time I was still wearing boyfriend jeans (not skinny jeans) at 17 weeks. But I’m not a slender person to begin with. Now, I’m 6 week and I want to pop my jeans open at my desk. I think it’s mostly bloat, but yeah. 
    Every day is a no bones/soft pants day!!

    I have got a full blown blump going right now. I have had numerous people comment on how cute my bump is and im just like “that’s the bloat, he’s the size of a pea”😂

    I love your name Daisy hahaha

    I feel like I can notice the difference, I can't suck in my stomach as much anymore and there's just a little more there. Even right in the mornings and after #2, so I feel like it's more than bloat but idk, am 8.5 weeks so I may just be hallucinating 😅 Baby's only a raspberry. In any case, other people won't be noticing for a while.

    @huckleberrypie that's how I feel, can't suck in the stomach at all and definitely feel like I have a pouch, but it also may be from all the carbs I've been eating. We're seeing some friends tomorrow that we haven't seen in a while, so I'm strategizing on wearing the loosest top I have because otherwise things definitely stick out that I'd like to hide.
