Anyone showing at all yet?

sdashergreen · September 2015

I know I'll probably regret saying this when I'm due and as big as a house but I'm looking forward to showing. I'm scared of the stretch marks but happy to have a future baby bump. I'm not showing at all yet, or atleast not noticeably. Is anyone showing at all yet?

kirstenvroman · September 2015

Personally Im a little bigger, it looks almost as if I'm bloated but I'm not its just my tummy coming in! I can't fit into any of my tight jeans/shorts any longer and I've heard by week 10 or 11 you will notice more of a noticeable change!

sarahufl · September 2015

I just look fat. Like I let myself go. I only have 2 pair of pants I can wear to work comfortably (they have spandex in them, so they don't cut into my waist).

I am looking forward to looking actually pregnant.

Tippy05 · September 2015

Like @sarahufl, I just look fat. It's not cute. My pants don't fit and I feel huge. The bloat is out of control.

I'm looking forward to an actual bump, or at least the time that I can tell people and wear maternity clothes all the time. At least I'll be more comfortable.

kimmecakes · September 2015

I'm pretty fat anyway, but yeah I look full term! Mega bloated.

Jules08 · September 2015

My bloat is ridiculous this time around. However, at my OB appointment last week she told me that my uterus was very pregnant and because of where she could feel it, it's a combination of majority bloat and a little showing. Great. I am going to be absurdly huge.

CCLow87 · September 2015

I wake up with almost abs still but by evening I'm too quesy to hold my stomach in at all. I can feel my uterus an inch or so above my public bone when I lay down, but I know it is my actual uterus showing yet when I'm huge at night... Just everything else being displaced!

Oh, please- by the time I get home at night, I don't have the energy or desire to even attempt to suck it in

Ready4theParty · September 2015

I am just fat. I think more and more people are catching on that it might not be just be the fact that I am lazy.

kt012885 · September 2015

All of my pants/shorts are super tight. I've only gained a few pounds- but I've caught people staring at my stomach so it must be sticking out more than it used too. Oh and my boobs- look/feel HUGE! I was a 36DD and I know I've gone up a size already. They were deflated from breastfeeding DD- now are full and plump. DH likes it but not me.

yodiggity · September 2015

I accidentally set my bf up for a failing answer the other day when I asked if the blouse I was wearing made me look fat or pg...I'm pretty sure the answer was fat but he didn't know how to answer the question. lol Poor guy.

Similar thing happened this morning. I was getting dressed and grunting that I look fat and my husband said "well, there's a good reason for that". Wrong answer.

This is exactly how I feel like I look.

I went from a 34D to 34DDD. I'm only 9weeks 4 days.

AnnikaD20 · September 2015

At this point, nobody should have a true baby bump yet. I'm due at the beginning of April, and the top of my uterus is just barely above the edge of my pubic bone at this point.

But the bloat is bad. I'm doing the hair tie trick on my pants, and am probably switching to maternity clothes in the next couple of weeks. My stomach is sticking out farther than my boobs already. So if that counts as showing, sure, I'm showing.

imrachellea · September 2015

I look pregnant but what is actually making it that way is not a baby. This is my second, so I know the showing is faster. I have a picture side by side of me at 19 weeks with my DD and at 9 weeks with this LO...I look more pregnant NOW than I did then! I haven't actually gained even the slightest bit of weight, so when I see the pictures at least the scale isn't matching! I made the mistake of wearing a fitted top yesterday and my back hurt so much by the end of the day from attempting to suck in (many of my coworkers know, but my students do not) so it will be loose clothing from now until I officially announce at school (17+ weeks at our staff Halloween social).

kguitarchic18 · September 2015

@sarahufl I feel the same way! Some pants still fit, but by the end of the day i feel like im bluging over them, and I feel that I just have a huge gut from eating all day. I know its all bloat, but its hard since I went from working out 6 days a week to nothing, so I feel that part of it is weight gain from being lazy ugh

Jlnitti80 · September 2015

It's odd some days my pants fit perfectly and some I can barely button them. It's frustrating and a bit confusing and rather difficult to dress in the mornings now.

I was working out about 5 days a week before. I am down to about 2, 3 at the most. And I am doing a lot less spin/rowing and a lot more yoga. Hoping to get back into a better routine soon.....

Whenever H is trying to be nice and says it is a baby bump, I ensure him that it isn't. But then he gently reminds me that the only reason my stomach is so fat and bloaty is because I am pregnant. I accept that as an answer

imrachellea · September 2015

Um...working out? I went from doing 6 days of intense CrossFit to nothing because I am just too insanely exhausted from work starting back right at 6 weeks and learning to adjust my schedule. I feel like such a slug and can't wait until this month is up because I'm going back. I went to talk to my coach last weekend and he gave me a hard time for being out...but understood it due to morning sickness. I miss lifting...

sdashergreen · September 2015

I still feel the same as before. I was thinking I would start wearing spanx because I do look a little bloated or chubby but not really pregnant. Im already chubs without the baby anyway. I still want to look good in my clothes until I'm actually showing. I don't know if it would be bad for the baby, or if it even matters at this point? I wear alot of dresses anyway so I can't tell if I'm actually a size bigger in my clothes since I rarely wear jeans. I don't know if my boobs got bigger or not because I was already big chested at a 36 D. I started wearing sports bras and t shirt bras when my boobs first started hurting, to get comfortable so I don't if it is bigger or not? I do know I weighed more in my last doctors visit than I did before. I've gone up 3 lbs.

Knottie95545976 · September 2015

I'm either bloated beyond belief or normal. It's strange. I'm naturally pretty thin so I'm hoping I start showing early.

AliSummer · September 2015

Similar to other posters - DH thinks he sees a bump. I just let him think it's a baby and not nasty bloat.

kcbarbo78 · September 2015

The bloating is horrendous and has been since around week 4. I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow, so I'm pretty sure it would be wishful thinking to tell myself that it's a baby bump. It's not. Just the worst bloating I've ever experienced, save for after my egg retrieval when my waist expanded by 4 inches In 24 hours and I was desperately chugging prune juice like a lunatic (now THAT was beyond brutal!)

ahhhhmandax3 · September 2015

I'm roughly 7 weeks (I say roughly because I can never remember when the first day of my last period was and my first appointment isn't until 9/24) and I'm so bloated I look 9 months pregnant already. I was never skinny but there's no way this is alllll my chub.
I feel like I've gained 20 pounds from when I found out I was pregnant.
It's really hard to hide since I'm not coming out to [our] families until after this first appointment.

jonesl12 · September 2015

I had a few days where I woke up abs still intact then by 2 I look 6 months preggo. The bloating is awful sometimes for sure ! Other days you can't tell I'm pregnant at all at 9 weeks.

Lilpenguin3 · September 2015

I was a 38ddd before this and they've already gone up a size.
Between ms and this cold I've lost 4lbs this week yet my pants are so tight I've resorted to wearing dresses and skirts.

This bloat is ridiculous.

Joness11 · September 2015

I definitely have a tummy pooch going on. Not much that others can notice but my hubby can. I'm guessing it's just major bloating. I wore a pair of fitted jeans the other day and had to leave them unbuttoned all day at work they were too snug on my belly sitting down lol

beckihall · September 2015

I'm 8w with twins, and I'm totally showing. (I'm taking progesterone injections, so that can make you bloated too). It's making it very difficult to keep it a secret. I already had to buy a pair of maternity pants and can only wear sweats otherwise lol.

Knottie99642114 · September 2015

I'm 6 weeks 4 days, super bloated. I've always had a soft tummy but my clothes just don't fit right. I have a tiny bump over my pubic bone that just looks like I have a really full bladder. I can't wait for this bloating and ms to go away. I've lost 6 lbs since I've been pregnant.

chantzies · September 2015

I was looking at pictures of myself during my last full term pregnancy and today, at 10 weeks 2 days, I look the same as I did at 5 months pregnant. I got maternity leggings and a top because my clothes are not fitting that comfortably anymore. My boobs are trying to burst out of my bra. I am going to have to start telling people soon!!!

RoseShadow873 · September 2015

I definitely have something forming. I am probably starting to look fat. I am embarrassed about the period of seemingly fatness before people will know I'm not really fat but pregnant.

RebekahA83 · September 2015

Oh the bloat! Makes everything feel uncomfortable. I'm 10w1d and I don't feel like my stomach looks just huge, but I can definitely tell my pants/shorts are uncomfortably tight! No pants parties on the couch are my jam right now

alicialiv · September 2015

My friend gave me some of her maternity clothes last week. I put on the pants and got emotional because whoever invented elastic waist bands was such a nice per d on-love these hormones! Do yourselves a favor and stop fighting your body. The early pregnancy symptoms are bad enough without trying to squeeze into too tight clothes.

colesole · September 2015

Each pregnancy has been different but this is my third. Iv been constipated for two weeks which apparently is normal. So feel super bloated. I feel huge and ppl have noticed I'm pregnant. I'm only 8weeks.

LadySamLady · September 2015

I know my newly rounded tummy is a bloated food baby and I just keep telling myself that it is OK, this is the one time in my life I can let myself off the hook for not having a perfect body. Plus, being so voluptuous has its perks - just ask DH! That said, I'm really looking forward to actually having a baby bump! I'm sure everyone I know thinks I've really let myself go.

lawl212 · September 2015

I'm naturally very skinny it's hard to get clothes that actually fit, but with my first I didn't start showing until the 7+ month mark, an my bump was so small not every one noticed it, I hope you get the bump you want!!

cmerribury · September 2015

Me, too, @Beckihall, on the progesterone. I looked at pics side by side of me at 14 weeks with my son and me at 10 weeks now, and I look MORE pregnant now!

Me too, but I'm naturally average to thin. I didn't show until about 28 weeks. People don't believe me when I show them a picture of me the night before I went into labor. It got a lot of negative comments too, and I'm not sensitive to that kind of stuff, but it got old. People would stop me and tell me they heard I was pregnant and my baby was being malnourished etc etc. I gained 20 lb, maybe 25, just carried small I guess.

MrsCroney · September 2015

Yes. I have been for weeks now. I just flaunt it
