Showing at 8.5 weeks really???? x

[Cymrublonde1]

Hi girls,

Hope you are all well.
I am sure this post has been done loads, but would be grateful to hear others experiences….

I am 8.5 weeks pregnant on my second child. I wore my pencil skirt to work last week, couldn’t wait to get it off when I got home as felt really snug!! This week, I wore a comfy jersey material one, but I could see how I looked slightly pregnant and so much so that I can see the same in a loose dress that I am wearing today!!

My ma said to me at weekend when we were shopping that she thinks my body has changed already, it just seems so soon and so much sooner than first time around (although I know this is common).

Might just be bloat.

Perfectly normal! I am pregnant with DC3, am 8+4 and already showing.

I don't think it is bloating as I can feel my lower part is tender and growing.

I think the more you have, the quicker you show!

Hey, I'm currently pregnant with my first baby but I found in early pregnancy that if I ate something it would make me look about 8 months gone lol!! Probably bloating as I think bub is about the size of a raspberry at 8 weeks :) Congrats on your little bean!!

I am 11 weeks with DC2 and feel like I've been showing for a few weeks. I definitely have a rounded tummy and it's hard rather than squishy! I think it's a combination of bloating and the fact that my muscles etc hadn't gone back to normal from last time, as DD is only 13 months old.

Thank you for all your responses.

Congratulations to you all!! ?

I thought it maybe bloat, even though this doesn’t happen on my daughter, but as Number3cometome says, it feels hard as it did when I was a few months gone last time.

Our bodies have been through it once and so I suppose our muscles are already stretched so come out easier and so makes sense.
Just as well it is Christmas and people will be off work so I can hopefully hide it until after the 12 week scan and hopefully everything will be ok so we can tell people.

I was like this last Christmas, treated myself to maternity jeans at 9 weeks, I'm now the proud owner of twins!

Root vegetables, don't scare me like this!!!

Would actually love twins as always thought we'd have 3 babies xx
Had a scan at about 7 weeks due to bleeding though and they didn't say or show more than 1.

Congratulations!! Xxx

I've been in maternity jeans since 10w, no twins

I am pregnant with dc3 and have been showing since about 7 weeks. When i've had a big meal i look about 6 months pregnant. i can't fit into any of my pre-pregnancy trousers and even when I wear a billowy dress, you could tell i'm pregnant. Also my bump seems to grow during the day - I'm not so big in the morning, but enormous before i go to bed! Gravity maybe?

No, it's still behind your pubic bone.

Did find I got fatter early on though, what with stuffing my face!

It is hormones and bloating. I look this way sometimes and I am not even pregnant. It gets worse the more pregnancies you have and also the older you get. I didn't look like that when pregnant at 27, but I did when pregnant at 34!

I'm exactly the samr and this is dc3. I start the day normal sized and expand all day until I look huge at bed time! I didn't show at all with my others until 20 weeks. I think it's bloat abd baby hoping it will settle in the next few weeks x
