I’ll be 8 weeks Sunday and I feel like we need to tell our families simply because of my bloat belly! I remember having this with my first but not this bad! But I am also eating more carbs and soda than ever before with no exercise. Things that I normally do the opposite of. When I went to the doctor this week I already gained 10 pounds! Having a hard time mentally with that, but I struggled with my first pregnancy as well.
Okay, yes—I’m with you. I’m a FTM, and at 8w2d, I’ve already gained ~10 lbs for all the reasons you mentioned. I too, am trying not to freak, but with the only foods that don’t turn my stomach being foods I usually rarely (if ever) eat, I’m not surprised at the gain. It feels like an unfair Catch-22: if I don’t eat, I feel increased nausea, but the nausea prevents me from being able to eat all but the most highly palatable foods! Argh 😖
My first pregnancy was twins and I went back down to a pretty flat stomach after them until this pregnancy. I haven't gained any weight but definitely started showing at 7 weeks!
I'm 8 weeks today and I started showing at 6 weeks. Grant it I'm very petite, but I definitely didn't show this early with my first almost 5 years ago.
Baby 3. I’m bloated, 10 and some weeks. It feels like I slowly bloat up more and more and by night time I am ready to pop LOL! Looking forward to a proper bump in a few weeks!
Re: 2nd Baby and the bump
We started HDBD (Hump Day Bump Day) this week though, because I'm sure some will starting showing soon!
