Hi everyone!
I’m only 7 weeks with my 3rd baby (1st 12YO and 2nd 8YO)
My stomach is huge! Like I look 4 months gone already! I’m a little embarrassed if I’m honest by how big I am already and I need to keep it hidden from my boss and kids for a while longer before they know which is difficult before I thought I would struggle to hide a bump.
Is this bloating? Or am I just carrying huge??
Lots of love to all the other first trimester mamas! X

It's bloat and slack stomach muscles. There's nothing there to make an actual "bump" at 7 weeks.

I'd say it's bloating. At 7 weeks the top of the uterus isn't anywhere near showing . It pops up from behind your pubic bone at 12 weeks , so it's unlikely that anything would be showing at this stage. Your baby is only the size of a blueberry, less than an inch long, so no you can't be that huge . Congratulations , by the way !

It will be bloating I was the same felt bad and turned into a nice bump by 14-15 weeks. Wear baggy tops and drink water reduce salt and rest. I bet it’s not as bad as you think no one will notice as pregnancy bump. it’s the perfect time of year to have put on a few pounds just make a few comments about how much you have enjoyed the food over Xmas!

Thanks guys!
I know my OH keeps saying it’s a bump and I’m telling him there’s nothing big enough to cause a bloody bump yet!!
@Hotcrossbunsinbed exactly thank god for baggy jumper weather!! 😂🙏🏼 X

Stomach muscles becoming looser, as it's a third pregnancy.

I'm also on my 3rd pregnancy, and also had a massive 'bump' early on which my DH would lovingly caress, no matter how much I told him he was talking to last night's pizza and general water retention. He only believed me when we had our first scan and the midwife nuzzled the doppler in my pelvis, not anywhere near that adorable baby bump he'd been gazing at Blush
