Is it normal to have a protruding tummy at 9 weeks?

Freaked out a bit when getting out of the shower. I have a definite bump under my belly button. It’s small, but it’s hard, a curve from my belly button to to pelvis.

Bloating? I don’t feel bloated or uncomfortable. My uterus peeking out? I know baby is the size of a blob but is it everything stretching out?

No pic because I can’t take a picture without showing you all my pubes or dangling nipples!

Haha! Is it your first pregnancy? I had 2 in quick succession and popped out quicker with my second for sure.

I definitely looked pregnant at 9 weeks (baby number two) x

it is more common to show later, as the uterus is tucked down in the pelvis at first, but I definitely could see a difference when naked from about 10 weeks.
(much worse with 2nd and 3rd babies Grin)

Yeah I stuck out quick with both mine!

I had this!! Could barely fit into my normal jeans at 8 weeks.......expecting twin girls in February Grin

Definitely not twins!

Had had early miscarriages so already had two scans- just a singleton!

My sister had 2 scans - singleton on both scans.
I was shocked at how she was showing at 9 weeks.
Private scan and 2 babies! One must have been hiding before !

Definitely one baby!

I found out I have a uterus that tilts forwards today which might be why I am poking out a bit early!

I had this too! Could see belly from around 8 weeks- slowed down massively until about 18 weeks and now just going mental feel like I'm getting bigger by the day haha. I had to go out of hours at 8 weeks for a UTI and the doctor asked if I was sure I was only 8 weeks and said 'wow if that's right I feel sorry for you full term' haha x
