Pregnancy

Is it normal to start showing at 8 weeks

I'm not particularly huge to start with - average size 12. This week I feel really really bloated and its all happening around my middle. I actually look about 4 months gone. I just remember with my other 3 boys not starting to show until around 4 months. I hope this is not a sign of things to come and I'm going to be huge. There's only 1 baby I might add, had a scan last week. My niece is also pregnant and she didn't start to show until around 3-4 months and feel I'm comparing myself to her. I keep wondering if it will go down, or maybe not, I am pregnant after all - lol.

With my 4th I started showing at about 5 weeks, it's those super slack tummy muscles I'm afraid.

I did Power Yoga for months before I find out I was pregnant, I can't do that any more, My tummy muscles are still quite good under all this. Can anyone suggest a safer form of similar exercise.

I found I went up and down a bit in the first 2 or 3 months. I noticed the changes very early on but other people are only really beginning to notice I'm pregnant now at 26 weeks. This is my 3rd btw. Don't know about exercise, sorry. I think pilates is pretty safe as long as your coach knows you are pregnant.
