showing already??

I'm 12w2d and I'm already showing. It started a couple weeks ago but I just figured it was bloating. Can this actually be baby already? I know you can start showing around 12 weeks but I look REALLY pregnant. Good thing I'm starting to tell people now :)

    Your uterus is way bigger than your baby at this point so showing is normal. I am huge at 9.5 weeks, it's hard to hide and it's definitely not just bloat. But it's a second baby and ivf can do that too.
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    Obviously there can be medical exceptions, but in general your uterus is only just starting to flip out from behind your pelvic bone at 12 weeks.  I don't know second+ time moms actually have their uterus move faster or things just stretch out quicker and is considered "showing".

    2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
    TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
    Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

    Subsequent pregnancies here but my uterus this week is just under my belly button. I am not big but I can tell it isn't bloat anymore.

    that chart is also a rough estimate, but basically your body has a memory and once the hormones kick in, stuff can happen faster. The stomach muscles relax and separate sooner, the uterus knows what it's doing and will stretch and grow more efficiently and sometimes a bit faster, it's pretty common that you really do start to show sooner the more kids you have.

    I am a little "fluffy" to begin with, so I just look fat. Haha! My bloating has gone down though, I don't look all swollen.

    I look forward to actually looking pregnant, not just like I over ate.

    Once my body got a taste of those pregnancy hormones my pants stopped fitting. I don't need maternity clothes yet but everything is very snug. My weight hasn't changed either.  I am only 9 weeks. Bloat, pooch from my last babies, I'm not sure but it happens!

    Initially he was and was concerned about fibroids. But everything looks good! I had a csection less than 2 years ago and he just chalked it up to that. I measured "big" with P too so he's not concerned.

    This is me. I've actually lost weight but my hips are already spreading ( they ache and pop like I'm an old lady!) and my pants don't zip.

    My pants are definitley starting to snug up, but I just look like I ate too much at this point! I am guessing since lo just turned 1 my body is ready to go again!

    I'm 11weeks and its clear I'm pregnant also with mine and my husbands first! Idk if it has to do with me being so tiny I'm 4'10 but I clearly look pregnant and my belly is starting to get hard. When I sleep or lay down its hard to get comfortable!

    Me, too! This is why I'm so afraid of doing weekly bump pictures. All I will see for the longest time is just chub.

    Yeah, same, same.  Although, I am starting to feel like there is a legitimate pregnant belly showing up, and my weekly (more like bi-weekly) pics show that.  All I know is, I don't fit into most of my pants anymore, and I'm hoping that this is pregnancy-related :)

    Others can tell I'm pregnant so I would say I am showing. This is my 3rd pregnancy. I am a lot bigger than I was when I was pregnant with DD!

    10w with our second... not even a slight change yet. I didn't start remotely showing until after 20 weeks with DD and I hope I can come close to the same this time around. The bump is just uncomfortable and gets in the way,

    I took my first picture yesterday, for my eyes only! Haha.That way I can maybe notice a change. I am afraid my stomach is going to get really large, really quickly (this is my third). Like 5 months looking like I am 8!

    ETA::: Well that was an obvious quote fail!

    at 10w I'm still just bloated I think.  I'm gassy and from what I've read your intestines are what's poking out first not baby.  don't know what happens for STM but it's my first

    Following my midwife appointment and a dating ultrasound earlier this week, I know exactly where the top of my uterus is.  This is my 4th pregnancy and it is about halfway to my belly button already.  There is only one baby in there and it is measuring on for my dates.  Also I was at the pool Friday night and when I pulled up against the side of the pool to lean on it, I could definitely feel the hard little bump.  If I wasn't so chubby, I would definitely be sporting a real baby belly already.  I am 10 weeks.
