Maybe I'm just getting fat but...

kbell00 · July 2012

My bloat is starting to look more like a tiny bump. Is 11 weeks too soon to start showing? I've heard that 2+ time moms usually show a little earlier. I went to button the only shorts that have fit me the past two weeks and they wouldn't even button! So happy I have a Bella Band. I guess I'll be breaking out the maternity clothes earlier than I thought...

I'm pretty sure I'm just fat but I'm wearing a Bella Band with my jeans today. I think I've always worn my jeans kind of snug, but I can't stand anything tight around my waist. I really thought about wearing pajama pants to work today, but felt that might have been a stretch even for "casual Friday." :-)

I LOVE my Bella Band! I've been wearing it almost every day and I'm only 9 weeks. So, no, you're not just fat.

I don't know if I'm showing or it's just serious bloat, but at 9 weeks with twins none of my pants will button. My only options now are the Bella Band or maternity shorts. Trying to fit into my regular clothes is a joke, but I haven't gained any weight yet. I've also noticed that the lower part of my belly is now rock hard and I can't really suck it in all the way anymore. Crazy how fast this happens! I think it's definitely possible that you have a small bump starting!

Lol... I'm in the same boat! I'm sure you look great!!

I bet it is baby, especially for 2+ moms! My other friend was in full on maternity clothes at 10 weeks, with a huge bump! Yay for an actual bump!

My doc told me to push in (gently of course) and if it's hard, it's baby, if it squishy (lol) it's bloat!

I'm right there with you. I'm already wearing some of my maternity pants. Not only is this my second, but I am also 5'1" With my first pregnancy, people started to notice my "bump" around 11 weeks.

NG2HD · July 2012

I'm not sure but I'm getting there right along with ya! I was told my a tech that with the second, third, etc. - everything is used to being stretched and growing already, so you start showing more quickly. I hope that is it because I keep thinking I'm getting chubby!

I say that for every Friday even before I was pregnant~~

I have on matrnity leggings right now. My pants just aren't comfy anymore. I have heard the thing about 2+ mamas showing earlier too. I'm pretty sure mine is just bloat/fat though:(

I say bump.

I am in maternity pants. I can feel my uterus now. I showed very early in both my previous pregnancies. You aren't going to convince me that I am not starting to show.

colinsfebmommy · July 2012

my pants are tight too and a girl at work said I look like I am showing...I was rather embarassed as I haven't even gained a pound lol BUT I recommend Old Navy has these stretchy waist cargo pants that can be folded up and made as capri's too (2 for 1 bottoms, love it) and they are comfy as all hell and I can grow in them

I say if you feel bumpy, call it a bump!

As for me, I feel squishy and look like spongebob. One big squashy blob. Ugh.

jjohn28 · July 2012

I think it might be bump! I can feel my uterus already and its still there when I wake up in the morning. When I do feel bloated, I look about 6 months, so its pretty easy for me to tell the difference between bloat and baby. Everything seems to be happening faster this time.

nuttycoconut · July 2012

I'm on my 2nd pregnancy and have been in maternity pants or flowy dresses for 5 weeks, lol. So much more comfy!

They say you show faster. Your body never gets back to the way it was before ever getting pregos. So when it starts to grow it makes it seem like your showing faster
