So I am pregnant with my first baby and started showing quite early on which was a surprise to everyone and so they thought I could be pregnant with twins! However there is just the one in there haha!

In the picture I am embracing my wonderful minion pjs and my stretch marks SmileSmile who else is pregnant with their first and showing already?!

I'm 11 weeks and my bump is a constipation/food baby at the minute as I think it's far too early to be showing! I don't expect to have a proper bump until 16-20 weeks. How far are you?

I'm 36 weeks with my first, so I'm showing a bit Wink

Congrats, how far along are you?

I didn't show until well over 25 weeks with first 2 - only 8 weeks with this one so time will tell!
I'm a size ten - I don't know where they hide!!

To be honest, your uterus at 15 weeks is still low (as in just peeking above you pelvis. So your 'bump' is more likely gas/bloat/ wind which is totally normal as pregnancy hormones slow digestion. I was out of normal clothes at 12 weeks due to bloat but back in them at 16weeks when it settled down!

Scase not too badly, I'd say watch out for anemia! I had to fight to get them to do something when my hemoglobin levels first starting dropping - they didn't check for anemia until I pushed, and then wouldn;t do anything as I was still within "normal" range, despite feeling awful.

Aside from that, been ok!

I'm 10 weeks and no bump yet. If anything I've lost weight and feeling a bit thinner. Had a good scan showing a very wriggly baby though!

This pic was 17 weeks with baby number 1....I wouldn't call that a "bloated" bump....I was in maternity jeans from 12 weeks.....preg with second now and was already bigger than this at 15 weeks......its very possible that you have a baby bump! Congratulations such an exciting time!

People were guessing I was pg from 9 weeks as I was so bloated I looked 'pregnant' - to me I developed a proper bump at about 25 weeks maybe? Before that I could've just have gotten much thicker round my middle. I think it still 'showed' I was pregnant - but it wasn't showing a baby!!! Grin

Hi Scase I'm 15 weeks and am wearing maternity tights today! Tend to be smaller in the morning but by the evening I look properly pregnant and really really need to buy new jeans! And also have a stretch mark already (just the one mind!), despite having used bio oil since day 1...this is not encouraging! Not really complaining though - this is my first, I'm 41 and it hasn't been an easy journey so I'll take it all and love it! Grin

I'm almost 16 weeks with my first and definitely showing already, I'm in comfy tops and leggings now as I can't fit into any of my pre-pregnancy clothes!

I have two oversized tops that fit and just wear leggings everyday (so many leggings i own!)

I got married at 11 weeks and have a definite bump in my dress, however it wasnt baby causing it as they are so low at this point. I assumed it was organs being pushed up and a bit of baby bloat.

It then didnt get any more pronounced til about 25 weeks, but became more baby/less bloat in that time.
