to be showing a little bit already?

[Hoebag]

I'm not talking a bump just a protruding tummy and I've noticed the top of my stomach firming up , and its very early days.

I've heard 2nd babies show quicker but even so arrgh.

but Im scared to say it to people incase they are like 'you can't be'

I podged up early with my second, I'm otherwise skinny but quickly gained a much thicker waist. In maternity jeans by 8 weeks.

My dad guessed I was pg at 5 weeks.

DC2 normal size and my body went back to normal (eventually).

I had lovely water retention with DS2, which made me look preggers from about 6 weeks, I was out of my jeans by 10 weeks and in all stretchys by 12 weeks :(

I changed shape at 6-8 weeks, my waist seemed to thicken. I was having twins though and was showing by 11 weeks!

I am big but took 4 months to create any kind of bump with first one

I'm not far off im about 4 + weeks

I'm a size 8 but at around 6 weeks pregnant I'm bloated but that's gas

Physically your uterus is still tucked inside your pelvis until just after the first trimester. Muscles can relax more I'm subsequent pregnancies though.

I have been showing since 5 weeks and in maternity clothes since 12 weeks. I had trouser extenders last 1 week from wk9-10 before the elastic snapped! People were commenting at 6 weeks. I suppose it is because i usually have a flat stomach and wear fitted clothes. The looking like shite, fainting and vomiting made it a dead giveaway though :(

I'm now 18 wks and look huge. People keep asking when i'm due thinking it will be soon and i have to say Sept 1

I physically can't imagine getting much bigger. (this is my first)

I showed from 4 weeks with DD2 due to water retention, my work colleagues guessed before i'd even done a test.

Yes YABVVVVU. Stop it immediately.

4 weeks [shocked]

probably is water aha lol but it feels firm

I was making ds some dinner and my DP just said 'Ooh you're showing already'

I looked down as was like :O

YABU - push it back in. :)

AKMD That's exactly what I was thinking

The baby is the size of a full stop. Its water retention.

My dp said exactlu the same thing to me. When I was pregnant with our second I asked him to not mention me 'showing' at the start as it wont be baby, just water!

I'm losing my waist and got bump I have to breathe in all the time and I've just missed my period date... so what's that 4 weeks? This is going to be a long pregnancy. I got huge with the last two - not sure I can take the shocked looks when I tell people I'm not due til December.

I felt I was showing at 6 weeks with my 2nd, okay so probably nobody knew but I felt like I was sucking my guts in and that it was doing sod all.

By 10 weeks I looked pregnant, I just coudn't suck it in, and by 20 weeks which was only halfway I felt huge. I used to dread the question of when I was due because I got sick of people saying "oh you have a long way to go, I thought you were further along" etc etc.

I even lied to the girl in Currys about it who asked, and she looked tiny (also preg) and turns out her due date was around the same of mine and I just prayed I wouldn't bump into her in the hospital!!!

Stupid big fat babies.

She was only the same size as my son (9 and a half pounds) though she did come out 2 weeks early so I guess she was perhaps supposed to be a 10 pounder. I think your muscles just go!

Never again!

you're definitely retaining water and/or are bloated. fwiw i had the same thing. v uncomfy at 6 weeks, in mat jeans at 8 weeks. then morning sickness hit and i lost all the water, plus some pounds.
