I'm only 6 weeks and plenty of people are commenting that I look further gone my dates are 100% right and first pregnancy and I already have a bump could it be a sign of twins or just bloating?

I'm 6.5w and also feel the bloat change. Ppl have also noticed and said I've put on weight. I just laugh and blame it on BBQ and the beers I was previously drinking. I'm petite, 5lbs shows real quick.
I'm glad I'm starting off a little chubby because the bloat just blends in. But I did have someone in my building cafeteria ask me how far along I was like 2 months ago when I most definitely was not preg, I embarrassed her enough to teach her a damn lesson.

^^ you surely have saved some more emotionally sensitive future woman. Thank you!
Seriously I haven't had anyone say anything about my weight yet, I did ask DH if I physically looked any different yet and he said yes. He said my boobs are firmer/larger and my posture has changed a tad and my legs look slimmer.
I did read that early pregnancy can boost your metabolism, and I always loose weight in my hips/thighs first, so I put on my skinniest skinny jeans and while they do feel tight in my belly at the waist, the legs are slightly loose!

My rule of thumb is unless I see a baby hanging out of someone's vagina, I don't ask if they are pregnant/how far along they are.

Agreed.
We have these conversations at work a lot because I work with a bunch of insensitive men. I tell them that unless they are responsible for putting said baby in said uterus, or they see a baby crowning, keep your damn mouth shut.
Oh don't get my wrong it's felt horrible people commenting I'm 5,5 and always been rather slim I'm not embarrassed I'm proud of what my body is changing for! Just thought I would ask the question
