Woke up and I'm PREGNANT!

Well, obviously I'm pregnant, but woke up and it's quite obvious I'm pregnant by the look of things. With Baby #2, and only 7 1/2 weeks, I have a defined baby belly - not just bloat. I was hoping it would stay hidden for another week at least, since I'm spending the weekend with family that do not know... but it's there, and I swear I can hear it shouting LOOK DOWN HERE!

I don't understand how on earth you go to bed bloated, and wake up with a belly?!

  • I did the same thing!  Only this is only baby #1- another reason we are looking for twins next week!  I haven't gained any weight, but my stomach area has definitely shifted and now I look pregnant!  :( I have been pretty embarrassed about it which is why I haven't been participating in the PIP on Fridays!  It start last week really.  I feel like I look like I have a beer gut!

  • I normally have a belly - but my MIL, who is a fertiliy nurse - says I look more like 11 or 12 weeks along than 7, and my obgyn says my ute is bigger than 7 weeks.....so I can't tell if others can tell or not. I feel like they can. I'm wondering about twins myself...
  • They say you show much earlier on the second baby. Just wear a loose shirt, maybe they will just think you gained weight. Good luck!

  • I feel the same way. I'm wearing a Bella Band to work today and feel big. Way too big for not announcing it yet...first appt is Friday. Probably triplets. Ha.
  • I started feeling this way this week, too.  This is #1 for me, but I am very thin and my clothes are getting snug.  I asked my girlfried who is on #2 and she said that happened to her at 6-8w both times.  I can cover it up, but it is so noticeable to me.  I felt like a fat cow bc I didn't expect it to happen so soon lol.  Even if I try to suck in, my lower abdomen stays pooched.  Glad we're all together on it haha
