I'm 5 weeks and I am already showing, my jeans still do up but when I look in the mirror I definitely have a pregnant look. I seem to remember showing quite early with my last.

I know it's bloating but it's hard to hide.

My second I bloated from early on, I looked heavily pregnant at my 8 week appointment. Very common, and unfortunately from my experience nothing worked to get rid of it. You’re right though you’re not showing it’s just bloat.

I think more kids you have quicker you show

On my 5th and definitely showing early. I look like I am ready to go into labour at 22 weeks! As well as the bloating I think the pregnancy hormone makes the stomach muscles separate ready for later, and this happened super early for me (around 5/6 weeks), so maybe it has done it so many time it is super sensitive to it now.

I told my kids it is like my stomach is an elastic band that has been stretched, so any baby is just going to make my stomach pop out.

I just had to buy roomier maternity trousers to compensate.
