Showing? Or bloated and will deflate?

I'll only be 11 weeks along tomorrow, and am really having a hard time finding things in my closet that will effectively cover my belly.  My jeans have been unbuttoned on a regular basis for several weeks, so I've finally found some maternity jeans I like (thankfully!)      This is something I can't keep sucking in to look skinnier!

We've now told family and my bosses, but trying to keep things quiet for everyone else for a few more weeks.

How do I hide this belly?   Is this the baby already showing?  Or just gas/bloating?   Will it go away for a while, or is it here to stay?   Do I give in and start wearing maternity shirts?

This is hard to answer.  Everyone is different.  I was wearing all of my normal clothes through 20 weeks with my first pregnancy.  I remember going maternity clothes shopping for the first time around then.  Have you tried a belly band?

Have a really good poop and it will probably go down.

If it doesn't, then it's probably baby.

  It hasn't.....

 I haven't tried a belly band yet, as I can't really have anything on my stomach, or all contents decide to come up.   I did find some maternity pants that are helping.
