Showing at 11 weeks?

[Skitz99]

Hello,

New here, I’m nearly 12 weeks but having been showing at 8/9 weeks and I look quite big considering I’m early! Don’t think I’m further along as done a PT the month before I conceived. Could it be twins or bloat? I’m not sure this is my first pregnancy?

Bloat

Bloat! I looked huge at that point started to deflate around 12 weeks and then ended up with an actual bump around 17 weeks.

It's very unusual to show so early with your first baby but it's common to be bloated during the first trimester and that can cause a hard, swollen belly that looks a lot like a baby bump.

You can sometimes tell bloat from bump if it gets bigger as the day goes on and is solid at night.

I've been the same since then too, but when I hit 11 weeks, the bloat at the top of my stomach started to deflate and the real bump position started to show! It's much smaller but looks less like 5 months pregnant and more like 3. I'm 12 weeks today :-)

I was in maternity jeans by 12 weeks with both of mine a combo of bloat and being very short!
