14 weeks gigantic

DRB7586 · June 2013

I know everyone is different and people show at different times but, even though the bloat has subsided, I am definitely showing. And I feel like it's a lot. My pants haven't buttoned for weeks but they still work with the belly band as long as they're low but I'm 5'8" normally about 152 pounds or so and around a size 6 and literally there is no mistaking it. Strangers have commented on the bump. Anyone else this obvious? I'm worried about just gaining weight but I think it's only been like 2 pounds so far? If that. And it seems to be all in my uterus, haha.

When you Google it, some people post crazy bellies at 13/14 weeks, so it could be...I am also 14 weeks but don't feel like I'm showing at all. However, when I was at the store the other day, I did look in a mirror and was a little surprised that it did look like my shirt was puffing out a little...this is the worst stage...I look fat, but not pregnant yet, lol.

I'm the same height and was exactly the same weight as you pre-pregnancy. It was probably about 16 weeks that someone that didn't know I was pregnant first noticed the bump, and I'd been in maternity jeans for 4 weeks at least. Yet my coworker didn't start wearing maternity jeans until 20 weeks. Some people just pop earlier. Now at 24 weeks I think its obvious that I'm not fat, I'm pregnant, but I swear people still do double takes and you can see the wheels turning in their heads.

BTW, I thought I was gigantic at 16 weeks too. And now I feel like I'm a blimp, but I look in the mirror and it isn't even basketball sized yet. Don't worry too much about your weight. If your body shape is anything like mine, you're going to feel like your hips/thighs/butt gain all the weight first (and they probably will gain a bit), but once your belly starts growing you'll look more balanced.

I'm 14 weeks today and the size I was with ds1 at 21 weeks. This is 3 for me though.

I am 15 weeks and look pregnant... Enough where people feel comfortable asking me. I am a size 4 and this is my fourth. I have only gained a couple of pounds though 2or3.

Being a FTM and being overweight, I didn't expect to show until like 25-30 weeks.

By 12 weeks, I had switched over to maternity pants (went jeans to mat jeans - no belly band), and by about 15 weeks, most of my tops didn't fit. Now at 17 weeks, I look VERY pregnant, strangers ask me when I'm due... I have maybe 3 regular shirts that fit, but I'm mostly in maternity tops. I've only gained 3lbs since finidng out I was pregnant!

As they say, everyone really is different!

I'm a FTM and 13w1d I was over weight before I got pregnant so I didn't expect to show until later in the pregnancy but I'm already having a hard time with my jeans not fitting and my shirts are too tight I noticed over the last few days I just seemed to pop! I feel more pregnant then I am and I haven't gained a single pound I just find it odd that in showing so soon

Don't stress about weight or you'll drive yourself crazy. Eat healthily, when you are hungry, and you should be fine.

Thanks! I haven't gained any weight so that's keeping me from really worrying about my health. Just surprised to be so obviously pregnant this early!

OP, I'm in a similar situation. Yesterday I had an e-school conference and all these people who were meeting me face to face for the first time were all exclaiming over my tummy. They were patting my tummy, asking how far along I am, etc.

Then when I told them I'm only 14w 6d, they kind of paused... then came the "big baby" comments and "maybe it's twins" comments. Ha ha ha. I thought I'd be more offended, but they were just so honestly delighted that it was hard to get mad.

I have acid reflux from hell, and I think that's causing a lot of the "bump", but it's not going away so I'm just going with it. Whatever. Looks like a bump, people think it's a bump, I'm gonna pretend it's all bump.

I am 14weeks with first baby, and I have a belly. I lost weight but my belly is bigger. It gets really tight after I eat also!
