Already Showing?

organicmomma · July 2014

Is anyone showing already? I'm 7w 2d and I already look pregnant! Is that possible? Its my first too! Is it just fat from eating??? Or bloating? It's just in one area..

amt0312 · July 2014

I never stopped showing from my last one....Is it your 1st pregnancy? If it is, then most likely just bloat this early on. Your uterus has probably not even reached the top of your pubic bone yet.

Is this your first? I am pregnant with my third (9 weeks) and am definitely getting a little bump. It's going to be tough hiding this for another 3 weeks!

Irishcurls · July 2014

Most likely bloat, but I wouldn't worry about it. Rock the blump, girl.

thegoodpotato · July 2014

I'm the same (7w1d), and I look about four months pregnant.

I'm pretty sure my abdominal muscles found out I was pregnant and decided to leave on vacation. They're just not taking it anymore.

Sarmouse · July 2014

This is my second and I definitely feel that I look more pregnant this time at only 6 weeks. We took a bump pic yesterday to compare when I was pregnant with DS. Even though my starting weight is about 10 lbs lighter this time my belly looks more round. I've always heard with subsequent pregnancies that you show earlier because your muscles remember how to stretch.

7 weeks is pretty early to show for a first pregnancy- but who knows, right?

I remember thinking I was showing early on with my first too. Then one day my bloat went away and I was back to looking normal again. I didn't actually start showing until about 18 weeks with my first.

I'm at 10 weeks now and I'm second guessing myself again! I feel like I'm showing, but I'm pretty sure it is just bloat like before. Although I have heard you do start showing quicker with subsequent pregnancies like a PP said.

Either way- you work that bloat/bump girl!

christenld · July 2014

I think it will be a while before I'm showing, I've got quite a bit of extra weight on me already! I kind of look forward to it though.

momofcpah · July 2014

Def. feel your pain! Have a very clear baby bump and I'm only 7 weeks. (With #4) it's a little upsetting since we haven't told very many people! Rock the bump girl!

mishka29 · July 2014

With my first I didn't show until like 15 weeks. This time as soon as I was KU my stomach muscles just let go. This has allowed a seriously impressive bloat to take over! The uterus is already a couple of fingers over the pelvis so I'm sure I'll be showing earlier.

SallyAnneS · July 2014

I am feeling this way as well. I am sure it is just bloat combined with eating way to many carbs and not pooping enough (tmi?) but it is definitely there. I am pretty sure my ab muscles are laughing at me for doing a million crunches the past 6 months and getting into great shape. They have definitely given up the fight!

There are 3 of us at work that are pregnant. (7 months, 4 months and me at 6 weeks) and some of the ladies were commenting about how I have started to show a lot earlier then the other girls did. I am trying not to feel offended and think that maybe it is just because I am so small and they noticed me lose 20lbs and get into great shape.. and now I am ballooning again.

WanderingA · July 2014

This is my second pregnancy and I have a major blump. With my first I didn't look pregnant until I was about 18 weeks. I currently look at least 3-4 months pregnant. I took a belly picture last week and this week and it's definitely growing!

I can't wait for a full, round belly - I love pregnancy curves!

AF9211 · July 2014

I wish. This is my second pregnancy and I was hoping to pop sooner than last time. I just look like a fat ass with a muffin top. No bump here yet...

ambmama · July 2014

I was pretty bloated but it luckily went down the past week, so no showing here. With my first I didn't show at all until about 22-24 weeks! Not sure what will happen this time, but I hope I get to rock the cute bump stage longer!

MaryS001 · July 2014

Totally possible! I've got a bump (or blump, let's be honest) for sure, and I'm almost 8 weeks with my second. With DS it was more like 13 weeks, but everyone's different!

This is me too! My mom keeps commenting on my bump and is worried since we haven't told everyone yet haha

eta - I think I was 20-22 weeks before I was showing to the general public. Earlier to my family and close friends.

XSweetieO0O · July 2014

So happy to hear some of you STM had bloat that went down. That had been freaking me out. Anyone know why the bloat goes down?

diamond7986 · July 2014

Maybe TMI, but I was exactly the same. You're not showing yet, you're probably bloated and need to poo

Mrsgclark81 · July 2014

Im showing but at 8 weeks its not the baby or even my uterus. Its the side effect of being pregnant... constant bloat :-&

I realized I must be looking more pregnant than I realized due to bloat when a 5 year old asked me "is there a baby in there?" At only 6 weeks.

7749 · July 2014

Is this your first? This is my first. But I used to be heavy. I'm not sure when my due date is due to inconstant periods. Anyways I swear I have a little bump. When I lay down it goes down cept this little bump near the right hip bone. Could this be my baby? Also curious if I'm gonna show sooner because I used to weigh more..?

mamabisme · July 2014

Nothing yet here. Some days I'm a bit bloated by the end of the day (depending on what I've eaten, water intake, etc) but it's not even a consistent bloat. I'm only 6 weeks + 3 days and this is my third. I consider myself a pretty normal build to begin with (I'm 5'7" and a size 6).

mommy510 · July 2014

Ugh! I'm so bloated. I might be 8 weeks, but I'm probably closer to 6 because I have really long cycles. I have to leave the house tomorrow and I totally look pregnant. Sigh. This secret is going to give itself away in no time at this rate

BabyMamaCampbell · July 2014

I just posted about this in my blog the other day! I'm just bloated but my pants aren't fitting as well and I feel like I'm showing. I don't need a bump yet, I haven't told everyone!

I don't think so. As someone who's had 4 kids already AND was once a size 26...ugh...it has more to do with the amount of stretching your uterus has done vs your skin.

On the up side, you're far less likely to get stretch marks if you've already got flab/the flesh apron. I pretty much look like a deflated balloon.

nicoleB22815 · July 2014

I'm 5'2, 100 lbs. No weight gain yet but bc I'm pretty petite I think I will show sooner than most. I exercise 4-5x a week and have been lucky enough to keep up that routine so far, no nausea yet. Drinking lots of water and sticking to my normal diet (organic, lean protein, complex carbs and a ton of fruits and veggies). I'm only 6 weeks 4 days though, hoping the nausea doesn't hit me hard!

bbillig · July 2014

It's definitely bloat or a food baby. It's your first so those muscles are still tightly together. I'm 7 weeks 1 day and my stomach is flat as a board, I wish I had a tiny bump!

dzla15 · July 2014

I am 9 weeks 2 days and this past week I really feel that my bump is starting. My partner all of a sudden was like wow we should start taking pics of it! Don't want to show yet but it does make me kinda happy to see

DizzyMom1 · July 2014

I'd say bloat too. I look like I'm second trimester some days from the bloat, though my belly is getting quite rounded even when it's not bloated bigger.

Paleomama · July 2014

I am 9 weeks and it is all bloat. Morning time I look normal by night I am sporting a bump. This is my second but they are also going to be 6 years apart.

crystalw88 · July 2014

I'm 10 weeks with my 1st and I'm definitely bloated! I've been pretending it's baby and just rock it! Who cares right?! B-)

Yep. Me either. I'm still up 20 pounds. I am totally rocking my maternity clothes and look like I did when I was 20 weeks with my ( now) 18 month old. Sigh.... I guess I'll only have to lose it once!!
