Waiting for my bloat to turn into a legit bump. It takes so long! None of my clothes have fit since week 8 and it’s harder and harder to flatten my stomach, but I just can’t wait to SHOW. I’m 13 weeks!
I look more pregnant than bloated since it’s my third, but it’s all bloat still. It’s a squishy belly, ha. I probably look as big as I did with my first at like 16-17 weeks…
I haven’t told work yet, so I’m doing my best to hide the bloat bump with oversized shirts. I’m thankful it’s been an unusually cold spring so I can layer.

I'm 13 weeks today, and I feel like it's more than just bloat (but I can't believe how much the bloat expanded my waistline!) that's showing now. I had a bump fitting dress on and one of my acquaintances was so excited to see that I was pregnant (i just wish she hadn't guessed 5 months lol).
I’m there with you! I’m 12 weeks and started showing really early. Even if it is just bloat, I looked pregnant at 7 weeks. At 10 weeks, I shared a pic with my sister and she said “that’s how big I was at 25 weeks!” Um…thanks? I just keep reminding myself that every body is different and mine just wants to show off my baby bump asap. Now that I’ve told everyone, I’m all about showing it off.
Yes but I had a little bit of pooch before I conceived 😭 so I can't exactly blame baby. But it is my second pregnancy! I hope to stay active this summer, especially chasing my toddler around now lol
I’ll be 10 wks tomorrow with #4. The bloat is so annoying but not much to do about it. I’ve been keeping up with 5 day/wk cardio so hoping I gain in all the “right places.” Still, I’m excited for our BMB to start HDBD. Maybe next week since some of y’all are getting into your 2nd tri?! I’m jealous btw; being at the tail-end of the BMB sucks! Haha
I'm 11 weeks today and the bloat looks like a bump to other people so I wear sweatshirts pretty much every day. My sister had the same thing - she started 'showing' very early too.
Which thus being my third it's mostly bloat but I'm definitely looking pregnant in the evenings. I'm 10w and I'm trying to keep it hidden from work until I have my 12w scan. It's in a week and a half so I've just got one more work week to get through. Which is good because I'm swiftly running out of cloths that still fit and don't show off the bloat.
11.5 weeks with baby number 3 and for sure looking and feeling pregnant. I’m looking forward to being close to announcing so it feels less like I need to overanalyze everything I wear.
@hippiemama-2 Right?? As it gets warmer it's getting a little too warm to be wearing sweatshirts. I definitely look pregnant when I'm wearing a tshirt.
@hippiemama-2 I'm really struggling for work clothes, if got the same outfits that still work on repeat. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed yet but it's going to be good when I can stop sucking in my increasingly obvious bump. 😅
The weather is changing for the better so today I’m wearing leggings and an oversized flowy shirt. Only I didn’t realize how CLINGY this shirt is and the bump is definitely on display. Whoops! Trying to suck it in the best I can but I’ll have to stay seated most of the day I think. Might be time to tell work soon because this is getting hard to hide!

Well I suppose there's an upside to being a carpenter, as I get to wear leggings under my carhartt overalls and don't really look any different. The guys at work all know though, I told them early on for the support (and to explain why there were a couple jobs I wasn't so cool with).
I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one dealing with bloating. I'm almost 11 weeks and I feel like I look a lot further along. Luckily, all my clothes still fit since I tend to wear loose fitting clothing to begin with. Just ordered some summer dresses and hoping they will fit my expanding belly.
