I'm obviously pregnant

I'm around 7 to 8 weeks and I look pregnant with no clothes on. First pregnancy and I'm a smallish frame but struggling with what to wear. There is no way I could hide this for another month or so

I was the same this time round, my stomach was so swollen you would think I was 6 months when I was only 10 weeks. I was in maternity jeans straight away! I'm now 37 weeks and enormous! I honestly thought I was having twins but I'm assured there's only one in there!!!

At this point it's bloating! Your uterus is still tucked behind your pubic bone

Skater dresses and empire line tops helped me at that stage.

I agree with PP. Skater dresses all the way and I just claimed I had eaten too much carbs and was bloating out haha. Xx

Yes was for me! Found bloating much worse at night, guess its because there's more food in the digestive system by that point.

Keep a photo diary of your growing bump as you'll be surprised at how you thought your bump is big now. Looking back at mine at 13 wks when I started the diary now I'm 24 wks I wonder how I ever thought I was obviously pregnant back then! Xx

It's normal for it to look more obvious at night as you retain water as the day goes on, which adds to the early pregnancy bloat.

Had a scan today. One baby one heartbeat and a huge cyst on my right ovary! measuring 7 weeks which makes sense x
