Showing Already?

[Baby Bergy]

Had my first child at 23. Im almost 29 now, prolly 40 lbs heavier than when I conceived my son. Im a lil over 6 weeks and have a belly???? With my son I didn't show til almost 20 weeks. I don't know how to feel about this. Obviously its not the "baby" thats showing but I am so bloated I guess? It even feels weird to lay on my belly like I have a lil balloon in there. I am very insecure about this and its kinda ruining my good mood. Is this normal? 6 weeks?

Probably bloat. I'll be flat as can be, and then puffy like I swallowed bags of marshmallows or something.

Seriously, over the past 2 days, my belly has stuck out more than ever! I know it was bloat at first, but this I know for sure is the start of a bump. My work doesn't know yet and I didn't realize how obvious my bump was when I decided to wear an ultra-high-waisted skirt to work... well that was a mistake haha. Had to try to suck in and stand awkwardly to try to hide it. I have a pretty small frame, so maybe that's why? But I was thinking the same thing a couple of weeks ago and now I see the difference, and it seriously happens over the course of a day or two. I was seriously like "um how did I miss that?!". Haha.

I have an abdominal separation (diastasis recti) after having my first son almost 17 months ago. I hadn't gotten around to sorting that out before getting pregnant again.

As a result, despite being only 6½ weeks pregnant, I look extremely pregnant and with being so bloated and nauseous I can't even suck it in any more. Took my son swimming yesterday and some of the other ladies guessed that I was pregnant (I normally wear loose-fitting clothes but obviously I was in a swimming costume).

I've been looking like I'm 20 weeks pregnant since I was 5weeks pregnant. And now I'm 11 weeks along. I'm 5'7 and have gained 10 pounds in 11 week. I'm 155# now. All gas and constipation. Plus I had a horrendous appetite until just a few days ago.

Hi!

How are you? We started our weightloss journals more or less the same time and are friends on MFP, but I went of internet a while Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Now with my second child I look huge at 7 weeks. I also gained some weight so are thinking of wrap skirts and dresses since I barely fit into my own clothes. And all this eventhough I walk 1.8miles a day and eat healthy.

Photo one is a size 12 and photo two is a size 14.

congrats to you too!

I haven't logged into MFP for ages, but then again I've been eating terribly the last couple of weeks!

Wow, I guess a lot of people just get bigger quicker with baby number 2! I'm actually very nervous - by the end of my last pregnancy my belly was huge, I felt like my skin couldn't stretch any more if it tried - thank goodness he came 3 weeks early! But given how huge I am already with this one, I'm honestly very nervous about how big I'll be by the end of it - not to mention how much worse my diastasis might be by then!

That early it's bloating we all get it ! Baby is way too small and deep for you to show at. 6 weeks. I had it as well!

 

[themaybaby]

I feel like I do too, but I know it's my bloating... I can't wait til I get my bump!

 

[readyORnot]

at 13 weeks I'd say it's probably a little more than just bloat!

 

[FeLynn]

You can show before 13 weeks especially if you had more then one kid but early before 8 weeks it's bloat. I'm 12.4 I am showing and yes even this far you can bloat I can see times when I'm bloated and then it goes away and then you can see my bump! It drives me crazy

with my first, i found the easiest way to tell the difference between bloat and bump was to lay flat on my back. Bloat would flatten out, bump wouldn't!
