Bloat or showing

Ifybabii · July 2013

Ok I'm 8 weeks and people are already asking if I'm expecting. The thing is my belly does not look like a bloat it's very round like a baby bump anyone else look like this

Bloat. Your ute is still way down in your pelvis.

I feel the same way!! We went to our county fair yesterday and my dad's cousin said, "Congratulations!" I said, "Thanks" and my husband said, "What was that about?" I said, "I'm guessing it was on our marriage last summer because she hasn't seen me since." He was paranoid thinking it was because we're pregnant. But I swear that I already look pregnant with all of this bloating so it may have been. Lol

I'm well aware at 6 weeks mine is bloat not bump but people aren't stupid and women our age are far more likely to be pregnant than to have put in 30lbs in 2-4 weeks so I think they know. In my case they're just being polite enough not to ask until I confirm it.

Me!! I'm 8w3d and I am convinced I'm showing already. My mom and dad both said I look 3 months. Regardless, I don't think it's bloat. I've come to terms with it tho. Hey it's gonna happen eventually so the sooner I can get use to my clothes not fitting the less ill cry. Lol!!! It's actually pretty amazing and I'm enjoying it!

Ditto that it's likely bloat. However, when I went for ultrasound last Thursday, I swore to my ob/gyn that I could feel my uterus poking out in my low abdomen. She said, "No, the uterus is still really low at this point." Well, sure enough, I was right -- my constantly full bladder keeps pushing my uterus up, to the point where it sticks out and I can feel it. So when she did my u/s, it was on my low abdomen. Granted, this isn't because Baby is big; it's cause I am a pee machine these days.

Bloat.

Bloat!

I'm the same...I think that I had a loss 5 months ago is really making me look bigger. Ive actually lost 4 pounds since finding out, but my belly is definitely out there-but I know it's just bloat right now.

My bloat gets really out of control in the evening and I look about 5 months pregnant, but then again, this is my 3rd baby and my ab muscles aren't what they once were! You'll know it's more than bloat when it's less...fluffy feeling. Baby bumps are pretty firm.

I'm looking forward to the firm baby belly instead of the bloaty fluffy belly.

I look about 5 months. I know it's bloat, but I've noticed that the shape of the bloat is already changing as everything slowly shifts.

Even at 3 months, I don't think you show. At least, I didn't until at least 16+ weeks with all 3 of mine....

Fucahwe · July 2013

Mine was hard for a few weeks, and I thought my poor body was doomed; showing in the first tri. Then I realized i was really, really constipated. Sorry, tmi.

Ohh, well that's good to know, this is my first pregnancy so I can only go by what my mom says and so far 1 friend that I have told. Everything else is from all of you, so thank you! Lol. So basically I'm really bloated all day everyday and even worse after I eat.

BrideNamedMeg · July 2013

It's all bloat, but I definitely look like my 19 week picture from DS's pregnancy at night. By the morning, things have settled down a bit.

Hrose7091 · July 2013

I'm so bloated I look 6 months pregnant. It's ridiculous. This is my second baby and it is WAY worse this time around. I looked in the mirror today and almost felt like something was wrong because of how big my tummy looks.

creativesoul83 · July 2013

I am right at 8w tomorrow least week my dh rub my stomach and said awe my baby bump I smacked his hand away and said i have been constipated for 3 days and super bloated. He looked at me sheepishly and said ooh. Then we both laughed. There is no way I am shoWing just bloat

wearebirds · July 2013

My cousin is 4' 11" and she started to show at 8 weeks....her pelvis is so small that her ute wasn't staying hidden at all.

For me...I know I'm bloated as hell. And it doesn't help that I already have a belly. Grr. I feel eyes piercing me at work with assumptions. Lol.

BabyWalters14 · July 2013

Today I am 8 weeks 3 days and my mom pointed out to my husband and I yesterday that it looked like I was starting to show/ get a belly. Sunday I was 8 weeks 1 day and I have a pair of jeans that won't fit me anymore. This will be our first child.

Yes, I look like Winnie the Pooh by the end of the day! Shorts are all tight, dresses it is till Fall.

OurJellybean · July 2013

Everyone shows diff. My friend is 12 weeks and her bump is huge! It's not bloat!

Marusika · August 2013

I`m big, everyone is looking at my belly. I had a stillbirth at 31 weeks, in April and my belly didn`t disappear totally. This kind of belly, when bloated looks huge, like i`m 5 months along.

BethSt · August 2013

I had a dress on the other day and my belly was poking out a little (from fat/bloat, not showing). I was with family and we were out and about sight seeing, so I thought for a split second that I should just push my stomach out so other people thought I was pregnant, rather than just chubby. I ended up sucking it in (which is getting increasingly difficult to do)
