So I'm a plus size, but with my first pregnancy I wasn't showing until 13weeks even then it was much. I'm 9weeks now already in maternity leggings & look like a whale. I have a very visible bump... what's going to happen as I get along further Confused

Is it just bloating as I didn't experience it in my first pregnancy so it's making me wonder

Yeah I popped early with DC2 and am not plus sized. I think it's normal tbh. I really struggled to hide it between weeks 8-12! Not sure if it's bloating or not tbh. Mine did settle eventually.

There’s another thread about this. It’s bloating, baby is still tiny.
It’s bloody uncomfortable but it’s still just bloat.

I showed early and became massive by the end. 3 months after giving birth I'm still worried that my hugely stretched stomach won't ever go back to normal.

Are you sure it's just one baby you're carrying?

Didn't have it in my first pregnancy so just became abit concerned as no one knows I'm pregnant yet (family/friends) we intend on telling them after my 12weeks scan

I'm the same, carrying my third and I'm huge. Bloat and weakened stomach muscles from previous.
