Showing at 6 weeks!!

[Lizbiz89]

I know it's not an actual baby bump and mostly just bloat but needless to say I'm already showing. This is my third so obviously my stomach is more relaxed this time around. Not sure how much longer I'm going to be able to hide it. My mum doesn't even know yet and I was trying to wait until 12 weeks to tell everyone. Anyone else in the same predicament?

Hi @Lizbiz89, congratulations! I’m not quite in the same boat as this is my first pregnancy, I’m now at 9+4 but was very bloated from 6/7 weeks! This did subside a little last week but is now back! I’ve been wearing baggy jumpers to work to try and hide it but still feel that some days I look about 6 months pregnant 🙈
I told a friend at work last week and she said knew I was, she just had a feeling but I think also the fact I am so bloated and my boobs have exploded probably gave it away!!

I’ve been so bloated since the start. Usually wear trousers at work that are tight fitting out the waist but switched to dresses and did get a pair of maternity trousers. I know it’s silly as it’s all bloat (I’m 11+6) but if it’s more comfortable then definitely worth it!

i told a few of my friends a few weeks ago and it’s been a relief to not have to worry about sticky out belly in front of them now!

I'm similar, 3rd pregnancy at 42, was very slim before and my belly just exploded, I had to buy maternity trousers at 8 weeks. Now 13 weeks and due back to work from holiday leave, will have to tell them, no way to hide anymore and no it's not bloat anymore lol.

This was me with my second. I went to my 8 week appointment and the midwife had to check she hadn’t got me mixed up with her 8 month lady. I was enormously bloated. Luckily a lockdown baby so easily hidden. I’m 5 weeks with my third and just gone out to buy men’s large hoodies so I can try to hide it if I bloat again 🙈
