9 weeks and look pregnant- anyone else?!

I'm almost 9 weeks and visibly bloated, but more so on one side than the other. Does anyone else have this? The egg was released from my left ovary and the bump is more on the left but could be a coincidence! I wasn't big to start with but tend to gain all my weight in the stomach and butt [brew]

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Yes I do. I am 8 + 2 and I would say as big as I was at about 14 weeks on my first. It's all in my stomach. I weighed today and ive only gained around 2lbs but it's literally all in the one place.

My mother can't believe how big I am already I'm not sure if it's more noticeable as I'm only just over 9 stone normally. I'm so glad I'm mainly working from home as I feel it's obvious now x

I felt the same, I normally have a flat belly but I was soo bloated 🤣 it never went and then just turned into an actual bump! I really struggled with nice clothes to wear I just had to hope no one looked very hard at my belly🤦🏻‍♀️

I felt massive from about 8 weeks. Now I’m 14 and can’t get into normal clothes! Second baby though

Omg by 8 weeks I couldn't fasten my jeans......turns out I had twins 😅

With my second I bloated so badly from 4 weeks. When I went to my 8 week appointment the midwife thought she’d got me mixed up with the 8 month pregnant lady due in after me. Thankfully that was lockdown so I could hide it. Mine never disappeared just gradually became baby.

@88london I celebrated my 40th a few weeks back when i was 9 weeks pregnant. first baby. i wore a long dress that went out slightly from the waist, normally i like really tightly fitted dresses but i felt great. I will be 12 weeks on Saturday and feel i have a noticeable rounder belly. Clothes are starting to cut into my waist, im glad i have plenty of dresses i can wear. Had to go buy granny nighties because the waist band on all my PJs were so uncomfortable. Cant wear underwired bras anymore. That's a new thing! My boobs have swollen so its cotton wireless and gym style sports bras. Cant imagine what i'll be like when i actually have a proper bump
