Hi ladies!
So, some of my bump is a little bit of pudge, I will admit that. I didn't have a flat stomach when this pregnancy began, but I also had a flatter stomach than I have in a long time! Right now, I cannot even hide the bump anymore. Seriously. My uterus, confirmed by my midwife, has indeed moved about an inch above the pubic bone, maybe a little more, and I think it's moving everything else up if that's possible lol. Perhaps some is still bloat and some is still constipation, but since the uterus moved up I have noticed my bump is unmistakable. I had OH take pictures and I'll post them for you. At 5-6 weeks, you could definitely tell it was bloat, then that went down in the 7th week, now I'm 8 weeks 3 days and my belly stays the same shape no matter the time of day, if I've eaten or had BMs, etc. It's kind of exciting but embarrassing because I KNOW that I'm not supposed to be showing this early, yet for whatever reason, from whatever factors, I am. Like I say, it is not all baby/uterus but some of it most def is! I look totally like I'm 12 weeks but I'm barely 8.5 lol I'm just embracing it. I know it's not the norm but I think it's starting to look beautiful! It's not huge, like I don't look like 4 months or anything, but it's big enough that I just can't hide it anymore. I think it's exciting I'll try to take a pic with my phone now so I don't have to wait for OH's pictures.
Also, sorry for the scale: in the middle one with the shirt up I moved closer to the mirror because when I stood far away the light was overexposed on my belly and I looked like a formless ghost lol, so that's why the belly looks a bit bigger in that photo than the others with the shirt down, I was standing closer to the mirror by like a foot or half a foot or so
