Baby bump at 5-6 weeks?

So I just recently found out I'm pregnant. I figured how far along I am according to my last period, however, my last period was a week earlier than usual and was way lighter than normal. I kind of wonder if it was implantation bleeding rather than an actual period. So far I've read that most people don't start showing till around week 12  and on but I'm not really sure how far along I am.
Based on calculating from my last peiod (the week early and light one) I should be around 6 weeks and 6 days. 
But if I base it on the peiod before the light cycle I would be about 10 -11 weeks.
I guess I'm just wondering if perhaps I really am further along. So far based on my belly I can't really tell if I'm begining to bump or if I'm just fat lol. I have a doctor appointment in 2 weeks and by then I'll definately know based on measurements but I'd still kinda like to get others opinion ahead of time so I know where I am on the time line. Please let me know what you think. Did any of you show before 12 weeks with first pregnancy? Any tips/advice would help.

    Being bloated is a very common early pregnancy sign. At 5-6 weeks the fetus is the size of an apple seed or sweet pea at the very most - so chances are it's the bloat instead of the babe.

    I will bump a little bit right before my period because of how my uterus sits, it's bigger/heavier with a fully baked endometrium, so it makes sense for me to be bumping more now than ever! Even if its not really the little bean making much of a difference.. And you've got the cuuutest lil bump starting, I'm sorry I'm not more helpful though! :p

    Dude maybe we should start a mini bump thread though.. like even bloat is pretty special because we all have growing beans! Idk... maybe I'm crazy

    1. If you plan on sticking around, introduce yourself on the intro thread and change your name so we actually know who you are versus a random knottie.

    2. It looks like to me you are arching your back more in the first picture (6 weeks) versus the second picture (5 weeks). 

    3. If you are 6 weeks, it's physically impossible to "show." It is bloat at it's finest.

    4. If you are 12 weeks, it's still pretty early to show but more likely.

    5. The only way you're going to know is at the appointment in two weeks. Good luck!

    You're arching your back, and it's too early for a bump.

    It's bloat, and posture.

    Sometimes our minds play little tricks like this on us. I recently looked at bump pictures from my last pregnancy and the bump I thought I had at 12 weeks - there was not shit there other than maybe a little pooch.  I think my blump now is as big.  You could be 6 weeks or 12 weeks because honestly for the most part bumps at that stage look pretty similar and pretty tiny, especially if you're a first time mom.  Unfortunately you won't know until your appointment.

    FWIW, I totally get that it's frustrating to wait to find out when your baby is coming.  My due date is somewhere within about a 1 week window thanks to wonky cycles, and I have to wait until September 4th for a dating ultrasound.  That's a much smaller window than you're dealing with and it's still driving me bonkers not knowing, so I empathize, but nobody here will be able to guess within any reasonable degree of accuracy.
