Do you already look pregnant? Because I'm pretty sure I do. My stomach is ridiculous already. I'm hoping it's just bloat. I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight so it's not anything that's hanging on post-pregnancy.

This is my third. My first two are 21 months apart and these will be 23 months apart.

I was just thinking the same thing! My stomach has deffinelty increased in size since last week and I have not changed anything in my diet! This is my 4th, my youngest is 10 months and unfortunately I still have about 15 extra pounds still weighing on me from my last pregnancy. However I am pretty sure currently all I have going on is bloating.

It definitely all bloat since your uterus stays really low and won't move up until at least 12 weeks along. Sorry you're dealing with that much bloat though. I remember getting a lot of bloat at the end of the day my first time around and even did a before/after picture in the same day. It was ridiculous.

Yeah I should've said it is just bloat, I know my uterus isn't high enough yet. It IS my third baby haha but it's crazy and annoying.

Not yet, but we will see. Definitely showed earlier with the 2nd than I did with my first. I did make a effort to get back in shape before TTC #3 so I am sure that has helped. Also not a ton of bloating this time around...yet. The bloating was bad with my 2nd. It is weird how PG symptoms can vary so much between pregnancies.

The week that I got my BFP was the week that I had JUST gotten back to my pre-pregnancy weight (2 years later - yay?) and I was feeling awesome because I was able to wear so many clothes I had gotten to wear in a while. They were comfortable and I looked awesome. They are no longer comfortable and I am no longer so awesome looking in them.

yeah, it's all bloat and, with the third one, I also that my bloat immediately makes me look preggers because my abdominal musculature is shot to hell. I had diastasis recti with my second and I haven't worked on it to resolve it. So, I guess it's natural that if I'm going to bloat this go-around, I'm gonna look ridiculous almost immediately.

Not awesome, though. Miss those clothes. #vain

This is my second. I am at pregnancy weight but I had dropped past that by 40lbs when I cut dairy out of my diet to continue breastfeeding. The weight distribution is different than previous pregnancy. I also got diastasis recti ( separation of the abdominal muscles) from my first so I am definitely showing something. Lol. It's worsened in the past 2 weeks.

I know I'm late commenting on this, but I was so glad to see this thread... I had a little weight left from #1, but was feeling pretty good but my hubby and SIL both think I'm already showing.. I know it's bloat but I seriously look pregnant. There's no way we'll be able to wait till 12 weeks to announce, I shouldn't be surprised though, by 16 weeks I already looked like I'd swallowed a basketball last time

I had so much bloat early on with my first that I looked pregnant right away. Oddly enough, I didn't have this with my second. Fingers crossed that the bloat stays away with this one.

Oh yes, but I looked pregnant before I was lol my belly naturally rounds.

That being said, with each pregnancy I looked pregnant earlier and earlier. My body is just like "oh, baby time, let's go" lol

This is why we won't be able to hide it long! I'll be looking 5months pregnant tomorrow........
