Belly already?!!

bbishop88 · May 2015

I'll be 7 weeks this Sunday and I already have this belly! I'm excited about having another baby this will be my second, didn't think I'd be showing this early. I was not ready to tell everyone our news yet, but there's no denying with my belly showing! Does anyone else showing this early?!

imaclutz89 · May 2015

There are a lot of threads regarding this on here. I am pregnant with my first and will be 7 weeks pregnant. I am small as it is 5'6" and 118lbs and have been sporting a "blump" (bloated bump) for the last 2 weeks. It's getting very hard for me to hide it. I don't feel as bloated as I did in week 5 but I still only fit one pair of pants I own for work already.

I'm 4'11" and my bloated belly is impossible to hide now at 7w5d. Nothing fits and even flowy shirts barely disguise it.

trishopkins · May 2015

I have the same issue im 5'11 and I just went on vacation so wearing a bikini was so obvious!!! This is my belly at 8 weeks and I already have stretch marks! My boobs are also huge too. I advise getting LOOSE maternity shirts and wearing a tight tank top underneath and leggings or buy a belly band (: hope that helps

Number 2 and I swear my belly is out already too. I couldn't believe it! I'm pretty sure a lot is bloat mixed with the first pregnancy weight I never lost (oops) but still wasn't expecting it this soon!!

Wowsa!! I was thinking that I was imagining it, but I'm now 9 weeks & my belly is definitely there. I'm 5'7 & not super slim, but fit & trim, and am surprised at how big me belly feels (this is my first) - I think I'll be wearing my maternity uniform the instant I'm 12 weeks!! I've got a spa day on 9 June & am planning on picking up some Elemis Camellia Oil (which I've heard is a miracle for stretch marks) - I thought I'd have it well before I'd need it, but maybe not!! I'm excited to have a big bump though (perhaps a bit naïve

) & would love it if this was a sign of things to come

@kaylab3910 i'm 4'10" and i'm in the exact same boat! even with flowy shirts, my bloated bump is hard to hide at 8.5 weeks

jonesl12 · May 2015

The bloat it's real for sure!

Kellymarie0214 · May 2015

No belly for me yet! But was feeling bloated for a while there..

Mamabeagle · May 2015

I have slight bloat some days but only when I can't go to the bathroom does it get really bad. I'm planning on wearing Spanx to a bachelorette next weekend though just in case!

MustangPegasos · May 2015

5w3d and got the bloat going on! However..... Every morning before getting out of bed I put my hand on my tummy and pray and talk to my little bean. When I touched it, it's totally hard as rock!! It's not sticking out, but it's hard to the touch

. Even after going to the bathroom, still there. Figuring this is a good sign of things to come :-). 5'9" and 150lbs

BethP321 · May 2015

At this point it is mostly bloat. If this is your first child you probably won't show until at least 12-14 weeks, if not later. Women who have been pregnant before show sooner because their uterus never fully goes down to its original size. This is my before BFP and 8w 5d photos. I can tell a difference, but when I posted this, a bunch of women started yelling at me telling me that it's not bump. They said "its probably from the big dinner you just ate" and I'm thinking to myself "how is it food when just I woke up on an empty stomach and took this picture..." Mine is not fully bloat, but not yet a bump.

MustangPegasos · May 2015

Here's my "blump" and sucking in. Pants pic is 4 weeks so just starting out, and undies is today at 5+3 Alllll bloat. But with my fibroid being the size of a grapefruit, it may make everything show more, idk.

Heron422 · May 2015

7+6, the blump! Ugh, I feel like an elephant. I'm out of pants (even my nice H&M treggings) and into dresses. I wish I had gotten down to my pre-infertility weight (-25lbs) before I got pregnant again, so maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Oh well, plenty of time after with my little munchkin.

vvitchhazel · May 2015

I have an event tonight that requires dressing up and I'm panicking that I won't be able to fit in my panty hose! The dress has a nice flow, so I'm not worried about showing the bloat in it, but I'm afraid the hose are gonna just laugh in my face!

winnie1122 · May 2015

I've been ridiculously bloated at only 5w3d. Of course, it's wedding and graduation season so I keep having to find dressy clothes that are cut right so as not to make anyone suspicious (like my mother!!!!!!!) I went to my brother's graduation last night and wore high waisted leggings and a strategically cut dress so no one would notice. Mom's got her radar out on me all the time, and she would be the first to ask me point-blank if I'm preggo! Some of my students asked if I was pregnant last week and wouldn't tell me why they wanted to know. I told them I wouldn't tell them even if I was, but OMG. I kept looking down to see if I looked big! Thank goodness school's out!

lesliewww · June 2015

I feel like I am showing too! My mother in law commented on my "bump" and I said no way, that has to just be bloat! But it's there clear as day. I could afford to lose a few pounds, so that probably has a lot to do with it too.

Sovvy · June 2015

Oh yeah. It happens QUICK.

BethP321 · June 2015

11 weeks tomorrow. I went from flat tummy to belly in less than two months. So excited...

Lildobs · June 2015

8 weeks with baby number 2 and definately have a bump. None of my clothes fit either. I am shocked with how fast I started to show with baby 2.

mommy2jg · June 2015

I'm already showing but then again it's my third pregnancy.

jfritschie87 · June 2015

Woo hoo I'm not the only shorty on here! Lol! I'm also 4"11. I'm curvy and i had huge boobs to begin with. Now they're ridiculously heavy. I'm around 9 weeks now and i feel fat, really, really fat lol. *sigh*. Fortunately i found some cute flowy summer dresses to ease into the beginning of my belly buldge. I loathe jeans including jean shorts. I pretty much live in leggings and dresses.

Ccroussett · June 2015

I am 10 weeks and 1 day along, and I had big boobs to begin with, but they are now in the ridiculous realm. They are heavy and sore, and we are just getting started! I'm already showing, but I got pregnant with a some belly fat. I have, however, lost almost 10 pounds from the moment I found out to this day, so that has helped avoid looking like a complete beach ball at formal events lately

Im 5''8'.

jjodom · June 2015

I'm just your mediumly thick sized 5'3 prego over here. I started having a "Blump" (@imaclutz89) around 5-6w. I am 10 weeks and i will still call it my blump, but I have noticed that my torso is starting to take a little different shape.

One of those "I have a friend who..." stories.....

A girl i went to college started looking like she had a legit baby bump around 6 weeks. she went from the 'every thinks she is skinny' to 'every knows she is pregnant' over night it seemed. lol she totally missed the 'i think she's gaining weight' phase which I like to tease that I'm on.

CaraBoonie · June 2015

I just make it a point to complain about my weight often so people just think I've gotten a bit chubby, haha. Normally I would be annoyed at myself for complaining about weight, but I'd rather be that annoying friend who complains about a couple extra pounds than give away my secret before I am ready.

kaykes86 · June 2015

I wasnt slim before getting pregnant but could wear tight fitting tops (was uk top size 12) Im now 10+4 and went on a weekend with the girls. A picture was posted on social media by one of the girls and now she's being asked if im pregnant!
I noticed my abdomen was big but thought it was just bloat and not noticeable to others.
One of the girls is 14 weeks but slim and she barely has a bump.
Not sure how im gonna keep hiding this pregnancy for the next 2 weeks when we have our official scan (had a scan at 9 weeks and its a singleton).
As a FTM i just feel its way to early to be showing!

Heron422 · June 2015

10w today! So I've made a little infographic about my blump lol. I'm 5'3 140 FTM, and my lower pelvic area is slightly puffier and harder inside. Obviously baby is a little further back from the circle, but the uterus is pushing on that area making the future bump. Yay for showing skin on the internet $:\$ ">

Oh, and as for "movement" my muscles twitch and there's some gas in there, which is completely normal at this stage I don't expect to feel anything for another 2 months or so!

amargaret24 · June 2015

I'm 9w1d today and just have solid bloat action. I kind of look like I ate a burrito + chips + took bites from someone elses burrito. Just like a stuffed turkey. But I don't think anyone would think I'm pregnant, I also always wear looser fitting tops so I have some leg room. My fiancé did tell me he thought my bloat was cute though. So at least I don't feel hideous.

hvwitham · June 2015

7w 3 days with my third, and I look about 5 months. I'm kinda fat anyway but I look totally pregnant.

Blueyedsky · June 2015

Most of it is bloat, but I'm convinced at least a little is baby. They say your uterus has doubled/tripled in size and there's a little ball in there that's baby. That's gotta count for something. Even if it's all bloat, it's getting bigger over time! Most people are into maternity pants by week 10-11 from what I understand.

dc072175 · June 2015

I'm almost 11 weeks and I feel like I could and prob would be more comfortable wearing maternity pants.
Right now I'm wearing regular leggings EVERY day and they feel so constricting. I also feel like there's definitely more than a blump and its pretty big by the end of the day!

makeshifwings · June 2015

I'm 7w6d and I feel sooo fat...hah I've got a belly on me already, a result of losing 100 lbs, so I can't really tell visually. But none of my pants fit, and I've only gained 2 lbs, so I know it's got to be at least a little baby!

keshakdavis · June 2015

Here is my baby bump at 9w 1d. This is right after I ate breakfast this morning. To me, I feel super bloated. I can't zip most of my pants nor fit my shirts because my breasts have doubled in size, at least! Before pregnancy I was 135 lbs. Very fit, flat stomach with the occasional 6 pack abs. I've gained only 3 lbs but it seems like more. I'm 5'5.

Heron422 · June 2015

@Blueyedsky I could definitely wear some maternity pants right now. Unfortunately I've only been finding dark panel ones that would show right through all my clothes, so I just buy pants and leggings a size up. Anything pushing on my lower abdomen feels horrible.

abbi1995 · June 2015

I'm 11w and showing with my teeny bump plus blump on top

I am 5 foot and definatly above average in the breast department, too. I live mainly in dresses. I outgrew my jeans last week at about 10 weeks. I am curious if being so short is going to have an affect on showing!

MrsReynolds1224 · June 2015

I am 5'2 and 120 lbs before pregnancy. I am 9 weeks 2 days and jeans are torture lately. Buttoning them is a laughable idea at this point. I am on a mission to find cute, flowy summer dresses soon!

JuliaK2084 · June 2015

I have Def started to show and it's getting hard to hide. I look like I am 4m. I bought the belly band this weekend so I can keep pants unbottened. My husband thinks I have a legit bump and I do too. I am on a temp job and wouldn't want them knowing. I'm 5'3 104lb pre preg. But I fill like I rounded out more. It's my second but still surprised I am showing so quick.

msttaylor2013 · June 2015

7 weeks 6 days with baby #4 and its seems I start showing earlier every pregn
