Showing a big bump early

Baby whispersBaby whispers
in 1st Trimester

Geeze, I look 6 months pregnant and am only 12 weeks. This is my first and I feel big. I still haven't told many people at work so they must think I am fat. I am tall and hid it the best I can. I bought maternity pants already. Any one else showing a big belly?

    I'm 12 weeks also and some days are good days and others are bad. When I have lots of fiber, drink tons of water an try to avoid salty foods I almost have a flat stomach. Hang in there! You can also try Miralax if you're less than regular. That's what my midwife recommended to me and it's been awesome!

    I'm 9 weeks but definitely have serious bloat. I don't plan on telling work for another three weeks so until then, they'll just think I'm getting fat!

    I'm 12 weeks too and I have a teeny tiny real bump and then throughout the day, the bloat comes and makes me look giant. It's annoying. People are already asking if I'm pregnant when we've only told people we're close to that haven't said anything.

    One way I know mine is bloat is because (from u/s), I know the baby is below my belly button.  There is definitely a small bump there, but the "upper" stomach "bump" is all bloat!  I am big to begin with (size 18), and I keep telling my husband I wish my two stomachs would merge!

    Everybody carries differently. It does somewhat depend on how you are "built" before pregnancy, and how many kiddos you have had. This is my 4th baby, and I am only 5 feet tall. I basically get my BFP, wake up the next day, and look 4 mnths pregnant right off the bat. IT's the craziest thing. I'm trying to hold off until 11 or 12 weeks to tell this time (I ususally tell way early), but i am sure in a few weeks people are going to start "talking".  (I am 6 weeks today).

    I feel like I am "showing" too and I am only 7 weeks! This is my first baby though so I ended up telling everyone fairly early. I just let everyone think that I already have a cute baby bump. Lol.
