Anyone else showing this early??

It could be a lot of bloating. It is awful with all the hormones in the beginning!

I'm hoping that's all it is. They thought I was 18 weeks before the ultrasound. My stomach is hard as a rock 😅

I had bloating around 7-9 weeks, and i looked alot further along that I was, my stomach was rock hard and it was quite uncomfortable. By 10 weeks it had gone and then i didn’t really start to show until 28 weeks, i also didnt put much weight on in this time but have made up for it now 🤣

Hopefully it goes down a little. The doctor said I may not gain alot during the 2nd trimester since I'm showing so much during the 1st

I am exactly the same! Started showing at 9 weeks and am now your size at 11 weeks. Can't hide it! After speaking to a lot of mum's, a handful showed really early too. Trying to embrace it as a good sign things are going well 😊

Me too! I honestly thought I was going crazy and I was 'wishful thinking' for a bump but its so real!

Thank you. I stress over everything 😅

It's crazy because I was opposite .... I barely showed until I was about 35 weeks and I have birth to a 9lb 22inch boy! You look great and I'm sure everything will level out!

Oh wow! My husband was a 10lb baby & I was 7 1/2lb so I'm sure our baby will be hefty 😅 thank you though, I'm glad I found this app. Knowing how different everyone is (& some the same) definitely makes me feel more confident that anything is normal 💙💜

Yes! My worry was delivery. I was so scared. But I got induced at 41 weeks, and it took about 5 hours until I could start to push (but those 5 hours I wasn't in any pain. I got an epidural) and I only had to push for 10 minutes. I didn't tear or anything. I was so relieved and surprised at my delivery. My point is, everyone is so different and carries there baby differently! But you carry so so well you look beautiful! 💖

Don't worry about that! I had exactly the same experience. I was constantly worried about showing so early. I'm 28 week now and my midwife just told me that she doesn't think that the baby will be a big one. I was so relieved to hear that! So all that stress for nothing! Just try enjoying this time and don't compare yourself to others. It's not worth it 😉

Thank you. When the doctor said he thought I was 18 weeks then the ultrasound said 8 weeks, I was really worried. I'm happy to know others have had this experience & I'm not the only one. Lol

On my first scan the doctor forgot to turned the sound on so I didn't have actually opportunity to hear a heart beat. They are only human, sometimes not very sensitive and I think quite often they forget that for new mum to be it's quite stressful time and we worry about everything... like so much! So seriously don't take everything too personal. Just focus on growing another human being. That's a huge thing!!! Enjoy it ;)

Omg I was the same way!! It was impossible to hide and I felt so awkward! I’m about 27 weeks now, and it finally started to even out a few weeks ago. Nothing to worry about mama!

He did say that it should even out & maybe I wont gain as much during the 2nd trimester. I was worried that this baby was gonna come out weighing 20 pounds 😅😭

SAME!!! I’m super tiny and my husband is a big dude. I was worried I was gonna have one of them 12 pound babies you hear about! 🤣 still am! But little guy is pretty much right down the middle on all his measurements so we shall see!

I was the same! Started showing really early with my first - I was in complete shock as people started guessing before I’d had my 12 week scan. Now (37 weeks) I’m also pretty big but it’s kind of evened out the further along I’ve gotten and I’m not much bigger than most at this point. I also think a lot of it was bloating at the start, and I’m quite short so I think that’s just how I carry!

Same. I'm hoping it's just that I'm bloating

I showed VERY early with my firstborn(like 6wks and by 9 weeks you could see it even if you didn't know me). I bloat easy, and heavily, with the slightest bit of hormones.lol

More than likely bloat. I had a lot of bloat here n there then i had a baby bump starting about 10weeks that was constantly there!

Everybody’s different lol

Yeah I know. They say that you dont usually start to show till 12 to 16 weeks first pregnancy. But the initial bump isn't from the baby. Usually first couple of weeks its all bloat. Can show at 8 weeks but would only be a slight bump can show more at 10 weeks as uterus is growing more.

I’m 13+4 and have nothing yet! But everyone is different just depends where the baby sits I guess, I’m really excited to have a bump tho xx

Yea Im 8 weeks and 3 days

Yeah I started showing at like 6-8 weeks...

I’m that size 2 & I’m only 7 weeks & 5 days. I think they say if you had a kid before you’ll get bigger quick something about the stretching my sister was telling me she got 5 kids

I was the exact same way!!! I swore there was more than one or further along but neither of those are true lol! I started showing before 8 weeks too! Are you short? I am and I think maybe that’s why but I honestly have no idea because it is my first too!

I’m very similar...I think it’s probably mostly bloat but from 10 weeks I’ve had a solid little bump- I’m 13 now! People think I’m further along than I am but I actually love having the little bump! Makes it easier to believe there’s really a baby in there 😂😂🤗😍

I’m 6 and a half weeks and I have a lot of bloating so at times look like I have a bump but it’s just bloat. I haven’t gained any weight yet

I'm only 5 weeks and I myself think theres a tiny bump showing 😂 my best friend said I'd show quick bcos I'm so skinny 😂

Mostly bloat due to the baby still being in your pelvic bone I’m 11w6d just started showing with my second
