why do I have a bump so early?

[Nathansmommy1]

Hi,
Im 10 weeks with my second pregnancy.
With this pregnancy I got a proper bump by 7 weeks, now 10 weeks and the bump is huge.. it looks like a proper bump (starts from under breasts) and is rock hard..
Im just wondering why I have a bump so early, could something be wrong or in the wrong place?
I had a scan at 8 weeks and all was ok and only one baby.

I have a nice hard bump, starting under my breasts, at nearly 10 weeks. It’s all bloating for me (with some fat on the lower part). I think I might be starting the teeniest of actual bumps lower down, but it’s hard to tell with all of the bloating!

Likely cos it's your second pregnancy and things don't go quite back to how they were before. Congratulations

Or twins

OP has already had a scan that shows just the one baby 👶🏻

Part of it is bloating because pregnancy hormones slow the gut down.

I'm 14 weeks tomorrow with my 2nd pregnancy and I'm pretty huge too. I can feel everything stretching and my tummy feels really tight. I know some of mine is little bit of chub but honestly... I wasn't expecting to be this big so quickly! Glad I'm not alone.

First baby I started to really show at 6 months, like a proper bump, needing maternity jeans etc.

Second baby I showed at 3.5 minutes . Like the side of a bloody house by 6 months. "Oh my god!!! No way are you only 26 weeks!!! I thought you were due!!" - said by cheeky cow at toddler group about my bump.

Me too I am 9 weeks on Monday xx

I am the same. I’m now 24 weeks and I’m the size of a house. I’ve got strangers saying ‘can’t be long to go now love’ and now I just smile and lie and say yes. So far everything seems normal but I haven’t had the bump measured yet by the midwife so hoping all ok. I’m a bit terrified by the thought of a massive baby.
