2nd pregnany and to be fair I was big with my 1st and in maternity clothes at 16 weeks.

But i'm only 11 weeks and I have a definate bump. I can't get in any of my trousers or skirts. I need maternity clothes ALREADY. I haven't had my 12 week scan yet so wasn't ready to tell people but its so bloody obvious! Everyone has guessed already.

I swear I look more pregnant than kate middleton and she's about to drop :(
I feel quite ashamed and embarrassed about it :(

The baby is only the size of a bean or something so I don't understand why I have a bump.

I'm going to be an absolute whale by the end aren't I :(

Hi, your uterus doesn't rise above your pubic bone until after 12 weeks - so it won't be baby bump but bloating!

It's probably bloating. I actually think I'm smaller now at 25 weeks than I was at 12!

As rosenip said, it's more likely to be bloating... I've looked about 5 months pregnant since about 10 weeks because of it. Not great but I've found eating small meals more often helps, so does avoiding sugar.

I was showing at 11 weeks, found out at my 12 week scan I am having twins Grin I am now massive at 18+6 but am carrying 30cm of babies plus legs! So I kind of think oh well I'm only going to get bigger the chocolate brownie and custard at lunch won't have helped though
