Yes! And we just started telling our families. I figured it'd be good to tell my boss today and she said "I already guessed. You have a little bump" I'm like Crap now everyone is going to know lol but I love my bump!
I understand you ladies. I've had the tiniest of pooches, but my jeans always hid it. Now there is no hiding it. All the girls at work know. But when o get a weird look from a customer I just put my hand on my bloat baby. I'm almost 9 weeks
I look bloated! I had to buy my first pair of maternity pants for work, none of my regular dress pants will close. I have been doing the rubber band through the button hole but its still quite tight. AND IM ONLY 9weeks 4day

Honesty if I was a stranger (hey I am!) who saw you in public I wouldnt think pregnant at all. Just a tiny bloated pooch but wouldn't even double take.
First BFP 12/2012, MMC at 9 weeks
Second BFP 6/2013, resulted in DS, born 2/23/14 :-)

The secret to not feeling crappy about looking fat and not pregnant is leggings and flowy tops. They are a GOD SEND. That was my wardrobe before, so people aren't noticing as quickly as they might if I completely changed my wardrobe.
I am a plus size girl and I am only 7 weeks along but my pants don't fit anymore. I know it's probably just the bloating but my goodness. I had to go this past week to buy a couple pairs of maternity pants for work. This is my first pregnancy and I didn't really expect to start getting new clothes so soon.
I am just about to start my 9th week tomorrow which means I'm now in my third month, but you can't believe how bumpy my tommy is already. I can't even blame it on bloating cos when I wake up in the morning, the bump is still there. So I take it as I'm amongst those women who can't seem to hide it. But I'm glad it's bumpy though. Don't worry you might start showing once you start the fourth month.
Well I just had somebody ask me how far along I am so there's that. I look like I did when I was about 4 months pregnant with my last daughter. WTF ute?!
This is also our third and I look 5 months pregnant! I'm really small so I showed extremely early with the first two. The next 6 months should be interesting!
@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
I feel exactly the same way. I haven't been working out much either and I live in fear of running into people from my gym and having them think I've just been locked away working on my gut instead... Which I guess is partially true but at least I have a good reason, right? I can't wait to move from the extreme muffin top phase to the legit bump phase.
9 weeks and not ready to tell anyone yet as we've miscarried before. But the bloat after dinner can't be hidden. Luckily I think I've hidden it during the day at work- but running out of outfit options that I feel comfortable in without being frumpy. I keep telling myself just 3 more weeks and we'll spill the beans, and the belly!
I wasn't a skinny chick to begin with, but I feel like my bump is catching up with my beer gut. I'm 7 weeks and totally fear people asking me how far along I am. I look like I'm 5 months already. Pretty quickly I had to buy button extenders and a belly band. Totally worth it. At least I can still wear some of my regular pants. I just ordered my first maternity clothes this week. Pretty sure I'm carrying twins, so figured I'd better be prepared to get big! Just remember, we are all beautiful! Even if we don't always feel like it.

Not showing yet, but this is my second pregnancy and with my first I was so desperate to see the bump that I ate like crazy. Ended up gaining 50lbs that pregnancy, so I'm determined not to let that happen this time! I'm excited for my bump, but I'm hoping it doesn't show up for a while yet
Ehhhh, I think I am crossing over to showing. 10 weeks 4 or 5 days and it is starting to be a permanent baby lump vs bloat. I am sure I am still bloating and I certainly look fat, but in fitted maternity clothes there is no denying a bump. 2nd time around so I am sure to show sooner this time anyway, but last time I had just enough of a bump at 17 weeks, I will definitely not make it to hiding it until then this time.
Also looking back at my pictures, I got HUGE by week like 26. Like HUGE. I cannot believe how big my belly was. I think because I have a small torso the baby just has to go out? Who knows but it was actually not cute. Just huge.
It's either a bloat or the starting of a bump... But it wasn't there before I got pregnant and my jeans don't fit. I have to use the ol' hairband trick through the button, or wear leggings. I'm 9w2d.

Exactly how short is your torso? I'm 5'1" and seriously fear looking full term halfway through second tri. I wouldn't say I'm disproportionate...but my torso is pretty darn stubby. I have to tie combat boots every day and do NOT want to wake up DH at 4:30 AM to tie them for me!
This is my first pregnancy, I'm 5'7" and 130 lbs, and had a completely flat stomach 2 months ago. I'm 9 weeks and at 8 weeks I already had a bump bigger than so many of my friends at 5 months! Everything I read says it's impossible and that its bloat but it is absolutely NOT bloat! I've actually lost 5 lbs in the past few weeks because of so much sickness. I asked my dr about it at my first appointment last week and she said it is a bump due to the natural positioning of my uterus. So it absolutely CAN happen! I was happy to hear that I wasn't imagining things! I've learned early on not to listen to people just because their pregnancy was different than mine. rock that bump!
I'm showing super fast this time around at only 7 weeks! I broke out a maternity dress last night and my family could all see the bump at top where organs get pushed up to your ribs. It's ridiculous.
Last time around nobody could tell I was pregnant for the longest time. I just looked like I ate a bunch of donuts. LOL.
I'm at work and it's the end of the day here in the uk and I've had to unbutton my jeans cos I was actually getting crampy pains from my jeans digging in! I'm glad I've got a long top on!
I'm 10 weeks today, and I can relate to the bloated feeling. I told my husband I was feeling super bloated/fat and he told me there was a small bump starting so he took a picture. It's teeny but it's starting and I can't wait to actually have a small bump to at least look pregnant!
Not showing, but I'm overweight anyway, and it carries in my stomach, only. I have noticed though that the bottom on my abdomen is starting to feel more firm. Everything else is squishy, that is FIRM! Would be cool, but jeans HURT so bad because of it.
Not much yet at 10 weeks. Other than looking like I ate a cheeseburger lol. Im pretty slim, especially since losing a few pounds due to nausea, so my 'bump' looks like my normal pooch looked before I lost weight lol I hv to unbuttob pants when sitting though, very uncomfortable already. Looking forward to a real bump really soon!!
I have some bloating, not showing yet. Some days are uncomfortable, but I think I have my eating on a decent schedule so I don't feel huge when I'm done with a meal. I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow and I happily was able to put on my skinny jeans this morning, I know I won't be wearing them much longer lol
10w4d and not really showing. I'm a little chubby to begin with so it might take a little longer. I feel my pooch getting harder though and that's cool!
I have been wearing maternity pants for about a week already though because the bloat was UNREAL and made me so uncomfortable!
Yep! Full on bloat bump! :-) I'm 10 weeks 5 days and even tho I've only gained a couple pounds I look like I've put on 10+! I haven't announced yet, only my boss knows at work. I'm sure all my co workers think I've really let myself go! I can only fit into one pair of my jeans! But this is baby #4 and I know you show earlier with each pregnancy... Looking forward to announcing next week... Come on week 12! :-)
I understand, I'm barely 9weeks and I can't fit into pretty much any of my clothes...I steal my husbands t-shirts and run around in stretchy shorts or dresses
I'm 11 weeks along with my first and definitely have a bump! Went in for my 11 week check up and asked the doctor about it. He said its completely normal to start showing about now. I've been using the BeBand for jeans and pants for a couple weeks now just for comfort but as of yesterday I can no longer button my pants. Haven't gained any weight yet though (?).
I'm 11w2d and having twins and this is my fourth pregnancy so ya I'm showing lol I'm going to be huge hopefully my son is not right and they missed a third in there ( he been having dreams weekly for months that I'm having two boys and a girl)
Re: Anyone showing at all yet?
Almost 10 weeks with 3rd baby (4th pregnancy)
This is what I look like as well.
