I started maternity clothes around 10 weeks with DD, and now I look back at photos and think it's funny because what I thought was a baby bump may have been bump or may have been bloat, but I thought it was huge and I did not look pregnant at all! Have fun with it and take a picture of your bump/bloat so you can look back at it at 36 weeks and wonder what you were thinking.

At 11 weeks it's probably just bloat since everything is still contained in your pelvis. I didn't get a tiny bump with my first until 21 weeks and I'm not showing at all yet with this pregnancy.

I was showing by 12 weeks with my first pregnancy... I was pretty small then and all of my normal pants didn't fit anymore so I started wearing bigger sizes and maternity pants around then also.

You might notice the change but no one else will really notice you pop until closer to 20 weeks. Its just bloat right now.

most likely, just bloat. With my first, I found that once I got to the point where it was uncomfortable to lay on my stomach, that was when it was true baby bump, which for me was at 15-16 weeks.
