How far were you when you started to show?

I know this is going to sound INSANE, but I am 5 weeks and I am already sticking out there. The same thing happened with my first pregnancy. I got bloated right away and by week 6 I wasn't feeling bloated anymore and my once flat belly had a little bulge. We lost my son at 18 weeks and needless to say I gained a little bit of weight after and never lost it. Now this time...I thought for sure it would be a while before I started to show because I was heavier, but the same thing happened!! I stopped feeling bloated earlier in the week and now I'm not able to suck in my belly?!?!  Obviously I am aware that it's not my baby growing that is giving my a belly, but has anyone else gone through this as well?? It's just so early and I don't want to tell everyone because it's still so early...but it is getting hard to hide.

    I've been extremely bloated. Can't wear my jeans comfortably and belly sticks out in all shirts. You're experiencing something normal. 

    Sorry to hear about your loss. H&H 9 months!

    I am 5 weeks, and soooooo bloated.  I can't wear my super cute skinny jeans anymore because they give me muffin top!!! By boobs are super big too, so I feel very top heavy!

    At 5 weeks it's still just bloat since your uterus is still tiny, low, and behind/below your pelvic bone:

    This! Your baby is the size of a poppyseed if I can remember correctly! I too felt very bloated early on though!

    I am in the same boat as you Las 135.  I'm 5 weeks and I swear my boobs feel soo heavy and big.  I feel super bloated - like PMS on steroids. All of my jeans and khaki's fit way too tight now so I gotta find something flexible and breathable in the mean time!  LOL!

    With my first, I didn't start for real showing until about 22 weeks. Up until that time I just looked like I had eaten a big meal!The first tri bloats is AWFUL.

    I started showing around 14 weeks and really popped around 16 weeks, but my daughter measured ahead the entire pregnancy and was born at 10lbs 9 ozs, so it might be later for an average sized baby.

    This was me too with my first pregnancy. Definitely wasn't showing at 5 weeks. Haha!
