Starting to show

lorettab79

I'm 11weeks today and i'm already sporting a bump. I feel like it's too early. It's not fat either! I don't jiggle when i walk. I'm average size. Does anyone else have a bump yet? Ppl are starting to comment on my belly.

I don't think it's very nice to specify you're not fat, implying you have to be fat to have a bump at 11 weeks. But how tall are you? I think that matters. I'm 5 foot 8 in and I don't show, my friend that is 5 ft 2 definitely shows.

YAY! Join the bump club, ha ha. Yes I was showing at 11 weeks, now at 15 WOW, there is no hiding it anymore. Normal pants actually hurt by the end of the day so I think I am going to go maternity 24-7. I am also small, a size 2 normally, and I agree it's not giggly it's a hard bump.

I think you misread. She didn't specify that she isn't fat, she was saying the bump itself isn't just fat.

Also, I'm 5'2 and I'm not showing. I have a long torso though. I didn't show with my daughter until after 20 weeks.

I think OP meant that the bigger belly is not due to overindulgence, not that you would have to be fat to show. I say this because someone asked me if my baby bump was actually showing at this point or if it was from the serious carb loading from m/s I was doing... Wow that sounds way more insensitive reading it back than it was meant at the time lol.

I do agree that height might play a role because I am 12w3d and since, obviously people are noticing, I thought it could be because I was 4'11" and fit to start. Yes some is bloat and the 6lbs I put on but there's something different about this belly!

I wasn't implying that i was fat, or that i had to be fat to be showing. I was simply stating my size. I am also tall 5"9". Which was why i posted the question in the first place. I'm not on here to offend anyone. I was just asking a question if anyone else was the same as me. Thanks for all the posts ladies.:

I am staring to see a bump and I am 11 weeks as well! A lot of my jeans are not fitting me as well anymore. At 8 weeks I had to go out and buy some maternity clothes just to feel more comfortable.

I had to get mat clothes too just to feel more comfy. I must say maternity pants are awesome! I love them! :

I'm showing a little bit! Friends and family have started to comment on the bump. I'm 13 weeks, but I'm only 4'11. Nowhere to go but out ; I bought a belly band and it has been a lifesaver!

I'm 13 weeks, not showing yet... but sometimes bloated!

It differs for everyone.  I'm 5'8 and average weight pre-pregnany (size 6 or 8) and I show early with every pregnancy.  I showed at 11 weeks with #1, 8 weeks with #2, 6 weeks with #3, and a few days before my BFP with this baby (no, really.)  By 6 weeks, strangers were asking me when I was due.

Some people show early, while others don't show until 20 weeks or later.  It really just depends!

Thanks so much for your reassurance and sharing with me!

 I am 11weeks currently and I definitely have a bump. I have always been a bit jiggly in the middle not a lot as I am an athlete... But yes I for sure have a bump showing and its hard. I am 5 3" short torso.

 I understood what you were saying. I don't think you should apologize because "one" person misunderstood your post... just saying. congrats on your pregnancy and keep sharing.

Thank you! Congrats to you as well!

I'm the same height and have definitely noticed a change as of late; I will be 14 weeks on Saturday. People kept telling me because I was tall I wouldn't show till later, but I think it has to do with body shape too (I have a long thin torso). I've never carried middle body weight (its all in the booty) so I feel like this belly is very noticeable to me and to close friends and family.

I'm 4'10" and I haven't started showing at all yet. I know I'm still early, so I have time, but I'm jealous of all the bumps. 

joynalanson

I can tell, but I don't think anyone else can... Can't wait to show so I can really "feel" pregnant!

halfthetree

I'm a small framed woman, so I look 4 months pregnant already and I'm only 10 weeks! I'm on my third pregnancy, second one was a loss, so I think my body is just being a keener and getting a move on already. My uterus is quite high for being so early still too.

MissDemeanor

I think I have a small bump already. I haven't gained any weight, but some of my jeans don't fit. But I'm not sure if people would notice if they weren't looking for it.

I am definitely showing something that isn't bloat anymore! lol   I am pretty small, 5'1 / was between a size 2 and 3...   bring on the belly comments

preglady12

With my first I saw huge by 11 weeks and it was so hard to hide, I am 11 weeks now with my second and not showing at all! Even wore a bikini with some friends yesterday who didn't suspect a thing. I'm surprised since they say you show more with the second, but not for me!
