Anyone else showing yet?

Kmonte · January 2014

I am 11 weeks preganant with my second child and I swear I have been showing since 7 weeks. My belly popped so much quicker this time around. I didn't even have a belly untill about 5 months with my 1st pregnancy. Anyone else feel like huge?

I mean, I am starving all the time and a lot less active this time around but I have a clearly round belly at this point, so I do not thinks it's just bloat or weight gain.

c&n06 · January 2014

This is my 2nd and I feel like I have more a round belly than I had the first time. Definitely going to show sooner than with the first one.

Just bloat here.

stephfletch · January 2014

This is my first, and I'm 12 weeks tomorrow. I couldn't tell before this morning whether it was my pudge or a bump. The problem was, I had gained 4 lbs before I got pregnant in a couple of months, so my belly was already getting a little pudgy, and then I gained another 6lbs during my first trimester. I'm sure some of that is not all baby, especially since I ate a lot at Christmas!

This morning I decided it's definitely a bump, even though it's still hard for others to tell, I can. I don't think it's just wishful thinking anymore!

Im 11 weeks, 4 days and my pants do not button. I've been using a belly band but all the bending down and standing up, it moves. I'm going to by some maternity dress pants this weekend. Since I'm a teacher, I'm worried it will come out of place and the students will notice my pants are not buttoned. I just want to be comfortable and not have to worry.

GinnyJ2012 · January 2014

I was bloated until about 10.5 weeks, then my belly went away and at 11 I felt I was showing a bit. Now at 12w2d I know it's baby belly, but to most people it still looks like too many cookies!

Kmonte · January 2014

I just ordered some new maternity pants for work. I was using a rubberband to keep them closed and that's just not going to cut it for too long.

I do not normally gain weight in my belly, I am more of a pear shape. So it's quite clear that I have a baby bump. Ugh, I really wanted to wait a bit longer before I announced my news at work.

MeganEMcG5 · January 2014

This is my second as well and I'm 10 weeks. Just this week I started rocking the belly band and maternity shirts...mostly for comfort versus necessity. I know the majority of mine is still bloat, but I'm totally fine with playing it off as baby now that most peope know. I used to suck it in all day, and now I let is allllll hang out!

missmiss307 · January 2014

I just look like I got fatter.

tamarar5 · January 2014

Blump or bloat, this is my third and DS is only 10.5 months old so I think yes. My already lumpy, flabby belly looks preggo. It sucks. I'm trying to keep it under wraps for at least two more weeks, ideally 6 more, and that is getting more challenging by the day.

lizztheo · January 2014

This is my 2nd and I'm definitely bloated. My husband keeps telling me that I have a little bump. I'm trying to avoid jeans, just wearing leggings and maxi skirts.

TiffaniMay · January 2014

I didn't think I was, but yesterday while picking my son up from his school, a little boy said, "There's a baby in there!" while pointing to my tummy. His mother was mortified, but I assured her I really was pregnant and he was right. He could very well have just assumed from my tubby tummy.

JulzM511 · January 2014

I think mine is still mainly bloat. I have gained weight too, so that doesn't help. This is my second and I popped early with my first. I am only 8 weeks.

cashews29 · January 2014

I'm pretty sure mine is just bloat. It's making my pants uncomfortable though

Valancyy · January 2014

I wore maternity jeans for the first time yesterday. I've actually lost a few pounds so far, thanks to MS, so I know it must be pregnancy making my jeans snug. I decided this time around that as soon as my pants are even slightly tight, I'm switching to maternity pants. I want to be comfortable.

I was noticing today that it seems like my belly is getting rounder, but I still just look a little pudgy at this stage. Even with my 2nd I didn't start really looking pregnant until after 20 weeks.

liz4paws · January 2014

I'm showing already. Showing fat.

Hopefully it will be more of a bump bump soon!

sarahg8r · January 2014

I definitely have a bump of fat! If I let it all hang out, I could probably look 5 months pregnant! But mine is mostly due to gaining a few prior to getting pregnant and then continuing to gain during the holidays. Thankfully, I haven't had any morning sickness, but I am SUPER hungry. So my bump is mostly due to bloat and poor diet. Although, I do notice a more rounded shape and I think I can actually feel a harder area where my uterus should be.

Carolina Blue Skies · January 2014

I was bloated around week 9, but that went away. DH said he noticed it coming back last night, but it's very minor. I'm a FTM, so I am guessing I probably still have a little while until a bump shows up.

aghouston86 · January 2014

Don't think I'm far enough along yet. Only 8+ a couple days but the bloat/fat is slowly getting outta control.

I think I wear my weight well so people generally can't tell when I have gained a few but per pregnancy I was/am certainly about 10-15lba heavier than I would have liked to be but oh well!

caybeh · January 2014

This is my second and am 11.5 weeks. I'm pretty sure I'm showing, just a little. Sure it gets bigger as I eat, but even in the morning there is a little bump. I'm down to two pairs of regular jeans that fit. I just try to wear flowy sweaters until we announce it next week.

lookame3639 · January 2014

I haven't gained weight but it looks like my tummy is just...fat I guess. It's now starting to "show" in the sense that it's larger at the bottom of my stomach. I'm only 8 weeks but I have to be careful about the jeans I choose to wear. If i choose some that are tighter I have cramps all day

Wil08 · January 2014

I'm showing burritos, quesadillas, pasta, pad Thai, and a sausage breakfast sandwich.

kfbenn · January 2014

I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and I feel like I've had a bump for weeks. This is my second and I don't remember showing this early with the first. I have one pair of non-maternity jeans that still fit, but they are so uncomfortable that I may just switch over for comfort.

Sk8terWoman · January 2014

I'm 9 weeks and starting to show a little bit, especially at night. It was mostly bloat and the holidays why I think I have a belly. I already gained 8 lbs--eek. Dr said 25-35 pounds total, so I'm eating healthier snacks and will get back to easy cardio once I get over this darn cold.

abundancenow · January 2014

I generally gain weight in my belly and with the holidays and this being # 2, yes I am showing, but wearing baggy tops. I already am doing the rubber band trick to my pants button to try to extend my pants before resorting to maternity pants. It's too early to me for maternity pants, ugh!

jlynn62511 · January 2014

One of my high school students asked me if I was pregnant today. (Kids have no filter!) I was shocked the kid never pays attention. I just stared at him in shock and said why do you ask? And he said oh never mind, I guess your not.

He is going to be very surprised when I finally spill the news. My usual flat belly is not so flat anymore. I have heard other students whispering in other classes. I don't think I will be able to hid it much longer.

I like to say I have a legit bump in my lower abdomen (just by the hairline) and bloat in my upper abdomen. I'm probably the only one who can even see the real bump.

This for me, too. I can feel my ute down low, but it's still smallish. I like to believe that it's pushing all my fat up higher though, which is why my belly fat is actually making me look more pregnant than my baby. I'm still down a few pounds, so I can't blame it on Christmas!

I look like I'm gaining weight too. My co-worker decided to tell me about this belly diet she was on and that she'll bring the book in for me to read.

She sounds like a real peach!! She will for sure feel like an ass when she knows your pregnant!!

inawe07 · January 2014

I think I can say I have a little bump now plus maybe a little bloat. My fundus is officially above my pubic bone now. Guess you really pop more with multiples and repeat pregnancies. I didn't show till around 17 weeks with DD so I'm quite shocked.

stacid526 · January 2014

I feel like I'm showing and so do people around me that know! Just today one of my coworkers who knows I'm pregnant told me I wasn't going to be able to hide it for much longer! I'm going shopping this weekend and spilling the beans at work on Tuesday!!

mae3014 · January 2014

I have a bump just above the waistband of my pants that now sticks out almost as much as my (size D) girls. They're pretty similar if I have to go to the bathroom. I thankfully don't have any bloat and all my clothes still fit except for my skinny button down shirts. When we told a family friend on Monday, she did a double take, looked at me again, and said 'oh, you do look pregnant!' It's apparently not obvious, but once you see it you can't unsee it.

CDSCL87 · January 2014

Me too, but I haven't gained weight yet.

Jentech84 · January 2014

I'm 10 weeks today and haven't been able to keep my jeans buttoned for more than a few minutes at any given time for the last few days. Even after peeling, pooping AND tooting lol.
I also can't curl up on the couch without having a pressure/ache in my lower abdomen. Now I'm not sure if it's constant bloat or a little bump!
Good thing I wear scrubs at work - they're comfortable & don't show much

jendem8 · January 2014

Just this past Tuesday I started to notice a harder/rounder little bump below my belly button. I definitely don't think it's just bloat anymore, because it's not squishy and doesn't go away. I'm sure that no one else can tell yet, until I put on workout clothes for when I'm teaching dance... then I feel like I like beached whale when I turn to the side. Looking forward to my OB appointment in about 2 weeks so that (if all goes well) I can start to feel more comfortable telling people. Like @jlynn62511 I also teach high school, so I don't feel like answering any awkward questions!

IvyMagic828 · January 2014

If I have any bump, it's just the few extra pounds I've put on lately... I've been on an ice cream kick lately and I just ate a bunch of cheetohs - not such a great idea!

I think mine is still bloat..either way it is ridiculilious for 11 weeks!

THIS!

BeachM · January 2014

I've started wearing the bella band more often and am in Level 3 fat pants, but I'm semi-worried what's going to happen in a few weeks when my uterus is higher and pushes out my "mom gut". I feel like I'm going to all of a sudden look 6 months pregnant when not being anywhere close to 6 months.

katater · January 2014

Yep, but if you didn't know me you'd think I just overindulged. I'm down 5 lbs thanks to m/s. This is my 3rd, though.

Ivette3510 · January 2014

Im 9 weeks 4days and definitely showing this time around. With DS I didnt show until 5 months, and now its a definite bump.

I heard a tip to put your belly band on before your pants and then overlap it over your pants. I tried it, and it definitely helped with the shifting around of the band.

GaGrl07 · January 2014

Just bloat here, but it's def not comfortable in my work pants. I had to go get one of those button extender thinga-ma-jiggers. Lame. I'd rather just get the cute belly so I can wear maternity pants and get out of this inbetween stage.
