Bump envy!

[teamandy]

My stomach is so bloated and I'm only at 6w+5.

I was looking at this woman's blog and she showed REALLY early. By the 8th week she really started popping.

Is this rare that a person shows so early or when you're really slim, the bump starts early?

I know most people say they're bumps were apparent around the 17th week or so...

Ha! I pee on a stick and immediately look 20 weeks! Everyone's different!

I had a definite bump by 14 weeks with my son.

With this one I've had a bump since about 7 weeks. It's not baby, I think my body just said "oh, you're pregnant again, here ya go!" Now my belly is so big. Dh comments on it all the time.

I agree..everyones different. With my first pregnancy I wasnt showing until 21 weeks. People used to ask me if I was really pregnant ( I weighed around 100 lbs then and am around 5ft 5") With my last 2 pregnancies which ended in a miscarriage, I was really bloated by the time I peed on a stick and looked slightly pregnant really early on.

Yep I have bump envy. Everyone is different.

This is my first pregnancy and I had a huge bump at about 6 or 7 weeks. It was so bad, one of my bosses even guessed I was pregnant weeks before I told. I'm pretty sure it was just bloat (with a little bit of fat). It hasn't really gone down, but some days my bump is noticeably smaller than other days. I guess it depends on how bloated I am that day.

Not sure if this makes sense, but I'm kind of ashamed of my bump because I know it's too early for me to look this pregnant. I feel like a fraud or something, even tho I really AM pregnant (just not as pregnant as I look). Lol.

I completely get what you mean! I feel ashamed that my stomach is so bloated and can't suck it in:/ But im so early so its not a real bump

You're proper bump will be here in no time

With my first I didn't show for quite a while(I think about 15 weeks -ish?), with this one I'm already huge at 8 weeks! And I am not a small woman. I had figured it would take a bit to really show since I do already have a belly, but nope! It just shift up high My DH keeps trying to tell me it's twins

Her bump is SO cute!!

I started showing again at 8 weeks and I'm disappointed because I'm doing everything differently this time. I'm not eating junk, only healthy fruits, vegetables, and lean meats and I'm continuing to work out 5 days a week in the morning for at least 30 mins. And I still gained 5lbs and look like I gained 20

Could it be that your tummy muscles haven't falling bounced back from previous bubs?

I think that's exactly what it is. I'm just being moaney about it I lost all my pregnancy weight from DD and then lost 20 more lbs so I guess I'm just not mentally ready to gain weight all over again!

I am all bloat! And haven't seen my flat stomach in a very long time
Can't wait for a REAL bump!

IMO, I think she almost looks too skinny & sickly at the start of her pregnancy! She looks short & tiny, so makes sense she would show early for her first pregnancy. Her second pregnancy she will probably show crazy early!

I'm 5'2 and wondering when I will start to show too. But at the same time, I'm scared at how big I will become! Thankfully it's the summer, so I'll be hiding my bloat with flowing skirts & dresses until it's time to do some maternity clothes shopping.

I am 7 weeks and just bloated. It's frustrating because I definitely don't look pregnant, just like I ate too much all day long!! And I'm a workout queen, so I hate feeling uncomfortable in fitted clothing. I've been sticking to the light maxi dresses lately so I don't feel so self-conscious. I'm hoping I start showing as early as 12 weeks, but we'll see! I just wish I could skip the bloat part and move straight from flat tummy to preggo belly! I think bellies are so cute and I can't wait to have one!

Im 21 weeks and still look like a flabby mess. Except for when I lay down. It looks lovely to me then
