my bloat/baby bump

pioneernurse06

So I will be 11 weeks tomorrow and I have a bloat/baby bump.  I didn't have a flat stomach before I got pregnant and I'm thinking it's more bloat (and fat) than baby but I'm really tired of trying to hide it.  Is it too early to embrace it and show it off? Or should I continue to hide it because I'm not that far and I shouldnt really have a bump yet?  I know there's not a right or wrong answer to this, but any input would be wonderful.....  TIA

heehee I embrace mine, I think at this point the baby is mostly the cause of our small bump/bloat DH Told me I make a cute pregnant woman, he had a huge grin on his face too. He is starting to get all warm and fuzzy and i'm loving it!!!

I look like I have a pot belly.  I didn't have a flat stomach before, but now its like my entire middle section is swollen.  It looks horrible.  There is no embracing here.

I'm in the same boat.  I have a picture from week 4 and from this morning...HUGE difference.  I've always had a belly (I have a big sway back so it always went "out" the front) but there's like hardly any room to suck in!!!  LOL...my shirts are starting to get a little tighter so i'm really trying to wear bigger tops and cardigans to hide it at work but I think my students are starting to notice.

This is me.  People who know I am pregnant say I look pregnant but I am thinking that anyone on the street probably thinks it is just a big beer gut!

This is how I was but I shifted some more, I gained about 2 pounds then it came back off and I am seemingly normal again, just a little "puffy" in the abdomen. From what I hear the weight will keep shifting all over!
