First time mama

Hello!! It’s my first pregnancy and I’m almost to 12 weeks and already showing! I’m feeling super insecure and maybe I’m doing something wrong? There are so many ppl I know that didn’t pop until later on.

Hi knottie. Would be great if you could change your username to something recognizable and introduce yourself on the Introductions thread. You can post questions like this on either the April Questions or Great Big Question threads. We try to discourage one-off posts that aren’t created to facilitate large discussions. One-off questions are perfect for the questions threads.

I started showing by 10 weeks with my first and basically immediately after conception with my others. I've had friends not show until 24 weeks. It depends on your body. You aren't doing anything wrong this is just how your body responds.

I'm a first time mom too. I lost 20lb in the first trimester from nausea and vomiting but my stomach is still large. So I think I could be showing but I also just feel like it's fat. I feel like pregnancy along with social norms are making my head confused on how to feel about my stomach. But I just keep saying this is the new normal for me and each pregnancy is different for each person. 
I can't wait to know I'm showing. I'm 15 weeks now.
