4 weeks and 4 days, poppy seed, although this was taken yesterday. Certainly no bump, but I wanted a before picture... Unfortunately the bloat has already arrived and it's getting hard to "suck it in".
I suck at full length mirror selfies. 7 w 1 d - biggest blueberry belly ever. Leggings are my new best friend. Black tops are also going to be a staple until I announce.
My bump is leftover bump from baby 1, not about to share that. You ladies all look fabulous!
Mins is also left over from my first... over 6 years ago... and then my second added to it... now I'm just bloated AF so baby 3 is making itself known that it won't go easy on my midsection either.
I'm morbidly obese so I won't ever get a "cute" round belly. I have the ever so lovely "B" belly. I never really look pregnant: just fatter. I had a super big issue with belly photos with my first and it is a huge regret I have now. This tome around, I will be taking photos and celebrating the changes my body makes. I just want to encourage anyone else who may not think they are "cute" enough to do the same.
@thedawkterswife same here! Probably not ever really going to get a cute bump. But I'm pregnant and healthy, even with my BMI not being anywhere near normal, so that's what I'm focusing on!

I was standing in our living room and my SO said I need to be aware of how I stand at work. He says I already look like I'm showing. I can't believe I'm showing this early. Does anyone else feel like that's way too soon? I'm 6 weeks 5 days with #3.

This early on, you're not actually "showing". It's typically just bloat or unconsciously relaxing your tummy (at least for me). I've caught myself just letting my belly look bigger than it is where normally I'd tuck it in to some higher waisted pants or something.
If if someone has some science, please correct me!
@ivyvines6 I'm working on it and I'm cautiously optimistic?? Right now I'm using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HHITD60/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it has awesome reviews for repairing diastastis recti. She has a core section tailored to this and I always do it at the end of the workout, starting with either a cardio or all-body portion and stretch. In total about 20-25 minutes which is manageable for me, or on days when I don't have any time whatsoever I just do core and its only 8 minutes!
@thedawkterswife@bjkay22 me too! I would love to have the adorable growing bump but I'm still documenting any changes I see. Plus side? No one will be asking if we're pregnant without us wanting to tell!

That's what I thought too. I'm feeling very belated and very gassy.
@ellelepa embrace the bloat! While it may not be technically your uterus and just a bloated belly from everything going on, it's your bloated belly that your baby's causing!
Ive had to announce that I'm pregnant at work. Everyone I've told had said "yeah, I knew. It's kind of obvious". And they're right. It is.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only with with third time momma problems... This bloat is no joke. My pants don't fit and I'm not even 6 weeks - like my body just said, oh, remember this? It works like this! The other day in a Verizon store (wearing leggings and a tank because pants don't fit, see above) - lady asked me "Is it a boy or a girl?" WTF. Lady. It's Panda Express Orange Chicken. Thanks, though.
And @thedawkterswife thanks, that's really helpful. Feeling pretty bummed out about taking any kind of pictures, and one of the things I regretted about my previous two pregnancies is that there are literally zero pictures of me. I stepped out of every photo anyone tried to take.
The uterus is still tucked behind your pelvis at this point. We are all basically showing off full bladders and bloat.
Heres a handy chart.
Yes! This is what I was trying to say
Today one of the three people we have told said to me "how great, you're starting to show!!" I just looked at her and said "I don't even think that's possible at 6 weeks. That's just me." Big big big sigh.
