Bloated or Showing already???

in 1st Trimester
So I am approximately 8 weeks along now I believe (Ultrasound on August 5th will tell me for sure) but already my stomach looks bigger, and I don't know if it's just being bloated or am I starting to show already?!

    Bloated.  If you're already a slim person you might notice the baby bloat more than if you have a few extra pounds around the middle (like me).  The baby is the size of a blueberry, you're seeing water retention.

    I know everyone will tell you are not showing and it's mostly bloat, but I'm about 8 weeks and certainly feel the same way. I can barely button my pants and I feel like my hips are wider than a Buick.. my body is definitely trying to show something! I believe the real bump will come sometime in the 2nd trimester.. which, honestly, I'd rather deal with that than this ugly bloat!

    I'll go down, @ladymike

    I went into work a couple of weeks ago and my boss asked me how far along I was and made a face like "are you sure about that?" I'm already chubby and the baby bloat was doing my midsection no favors lol  It's gone down now but I'll probably start to actually show soon since this is my second baby :)

    Probably bloat my clothes stopped fitting properly around 8/9 weeks and now at over 12 weeks people are starting to ask when I am due (I usually pretend im not pregnant HA). I am hoping the bloat goes down soon and I have a bump instead. I am going to have to start wearing mat pants since nothing fits.

    Bloat. I was under weight when I got ku and I didn't start to show until 18 weeks...

    My advice? A Bella band and/or yoga panrs

    Bloat. I'm 8 weeks as well and I notice my tummy is bigger but no one else does. However this will be my third child. With my first I didn't show until I was 6 months along.. with my second I was about 4 months …so I am curious if this one will be sooner than that! Good luck!! And stay comfy!! :)

    Bloat. When I was around 8 weeks I felt huge and gross. But around 11-12 weeks I was back to normal. :)

    If this is a 2nd, 3rd, etc pregnancy you could possibly be showing.  At 9 weeks, my dr could feel my uterus above my pelvic bone and confirmed that it was higher than normal and was technically showing.

    The baby is still the size of a rasin.... It's bloat.
