I am feeling ridiculously Overwhelmed with this baby bump right now.. I'm coming into my eighth week and I feel like I'm showing way more than I should be based on the comments im getting from my friends "wow I didn't show till 12 weeks" So I'm having a complex with the fact that I am wearing this bellyband already!

I need my support group to please show me your belly!! Do it pleaaassseee

    I am 8 weeks today & I look pregnant. I get it is just bloat but my stomach used to be flat.

    (Side note: I just ate way too much chik fil a and I am extra bloated at the end of the day, it doesn't look as bad in the morning. Also, this is my 2nd baby)

    And now to be useful: :)

    10 weeks today. I was a wee little thing pre-preg so I am all belly right now! I'm not sticking this out either... this is just my current reality...

    Ok you're adorable!

    I was a size 0/2 now I can't even button a 4!

    I don't have a picture to put up but holy cow my bloat is ridiculous right now.  Definitely looking like I'm showing a baby bump but it's pure bloat.  I am sure I started pregnancy rumors with my belly protruding quite roundly under my dress for the first day of school today.  Of course it would help if constipation wasn't holding a week's worth of food consumption hostage!!

    Omg thank god for this post!!! I was just having a pity party about how huge I am and I'm not even 8 weeks. I feel SO fat.. not just my stomach but my butt and arms too :( I really didnt think I would start showing until 2nd tri at the earliest. I've been taking Zofran every 8 hours and I am really hoping and praying its the constipation/bloat that is making me look like this!

    I'm only 6 weeks, but the bloat is intense. I totally have a little belly. At least I get to look a little pregnant,  but my goodness. It's ridiculous!

    My belly is fat and bloat right now. I have noticed that I'm not able to suck it in as much or as easily now, but I definitely look way more pregnant than I am...but I somehow carried all my fat in my thighs and belly pre-pregnancy too so I've always looked a little pregnant depending on what I wear so I've always had to be careful with that. I keep telling DH that I can't wait until I'm showing baby not fat, it's going to feel good to not be self conscious about that and be able to say yes actually I am pregnant :)

    I agree 100%  It's a little depressing that I look pregnant but has nothing to do with a baby at this point.  Even when I try to suck it in it just makes my stomach hurt because the bloat is so uncomfortable.  I can't wait until it's a real baby belly!

    I'm 10 weeks and starting to pooch. This was supposed to be baby #3 but it's 3&4. I tried to wear a pair of pants that I wore last week and there is no way they were even close to buttoning. Plus I lost weight. Bring on the bumps!

    My bloat is OUT OF CONTROL! I don't even feel cute and pregnant yet. I just feel like I look the same as before I lost 12 pounds, so I'm right there with ya. I'm only 6 weeks and 1 day!

    I am 6w2d and I am so bloated it is ridiculous. I am excited to have a bump eventually, but I miss my flat stomach.

    Lol skyped with my SIL today and she was like "whoa!" When I showed her my belly. I'm 8 wks and def can't suck it in anymore. But she has me convinced that I'm further along... Coming from her who was 135 lbs at 5mths and she's the same height as me, slightly smaller frame X( maybe I am or maybe I'm just going to be a normal size prego lady! I'll post a pic tomorrow and have fully embraced what this baby will do to my body:)

    My bloat is ridiculous too!! It's so uncomfortable. I haven't pulled my maternity wardrobe out yet and I can't wait to unbutton my pants as soon as I get in the car to or from work!!

    This makes me feel so much better! I'm 9wks 2days and although I'm "plus size" I've been blessed with a relatively flat belly until now. I haven't gained any weight but there is a definite pooch starting to come in. I'm hiding the best I can at work (my coworkers probably think I'm just gaining weight) and the second I'm home it's yoga pants and tank tops.

    On a side note any STM's have recommendations on maternity leggings? I can't seem to find any that aren't see through :(

    My body is not cute whatsoever. I am 5'4" and usually 120. Now I fluctuate btw 124-127 depending on what I eat and exercise. I just look
    Chubby which makes it difficult to not spill the beans bc no one has ever seen me slip in weight or food choices. I can't wait until after the first trimester or until a baby is the reason I'm so full!

    @ashleyahann I got some at Ross.  They have a (small) maternity section and had several different brands for $5.99!

    This makes me feel so much better too!! I didn't think I should look any different at this stage and the people that know said I have a baby bump! I only wear non-belly tight tops now as to not draw attention
