Showing at 8 weeks :/

[imaswimmer2]

I'm well aware baby is a little bean behind the pelvis right now I'm totally "showing" at 8 weeks. Uterus, bloat, water retention, whatever- it's all decided to take a rounded baby bump look, as if it's like "ugh here we go again. I know what to do". People are asking if I'm pregnant, and when I deny, they laugh, roll their eyes, say whatever, etc. I haven't even had my first dr appt

I know they say you show earlier with each subsequent pregnancy, so I can't help but think your body learns what to do? Anyone else?

I started "showing" with the pregnancy and my last days before AF showed lol. I bloat a lot in general, but oh man. The pregnancy bloat is so real! I eat a piece of toast and BAM it looks like I'm hella pregnant. r_r The bloat also weighs in at 4-5 lbs! It's crazy! So I make sure to weigh myself when I wake up so my pregnancy journal is accurate haha

Yep...I noticed I had a little "preggo belly" before even testing positive. At 9 weeks people were noticing and commenting. Now as I near 13 weeks, it's simply ridiculous. This is my 3rd baby and showing MUCH sooner then with the first two.

Yup I was showing by 8 weeks. I've been living in baggy tops and long scarfs!

Fourth pregnancy here, and my body was like, "Why bother? We know where this is going."

Here's the picture I took last week.

I started showing before my bfp as well! It must have been a bloat but for sure was not a regular bloat. It looked like a little edgy bump below my ribs at first. And by 6 weeks I had an actual bump. I already have to buy maternity clothing and belly bands, I can't close certain jackets anymore etc...

(The image is numbered by weeks btw.) The biggest one was week 9.

I am about the same size - 5 weeks today. Trying to hide the bump until the first scan but it's already tricky!!

Part of the reason why I took a pregnancy test was my tummy getting bigger, I measure my waist, and stomach/hips every couple of days as it helps me with my weight loss. In 1.5 weeks I had gained 3 inches! I never had this with my other two, but was severely morbidly obese with them so guess I never noticed.

I've also went from a relatively flat tummy to a bloat bump. Usually 3-4 inch increase! By 5 weeks I think I already looked like I was past the first trimester - it's a good thing we announced early, because there's no hiding it! (I've embraced the maternity tops completely, I just don't see the point in fighting it)

Spiffynoodles - haha!

I've been in my maternity jeans since 8 weeks, granted that was due to bloat. Now the bloat is subsiding and the belly I have got is hardening, though it really sticks out when I need to pee. So glad that my 12 week scan is coming up, cause there's no hiding or denying it any more. My sis-in-law is already convinced that I'm either carrying twins or I'm further along than I think.

Omg yes! A perfect, rounded baby bump. A pregnant body is amazing at times, right?!

I'm so scared to announce this early because I had a missed miscarriage before my eldest and the hardest part was going back at 13 weeks after seeing a heartbeat at 8 and telling everyone never mind, no baby

My 8 week "show" (sideways as always posting from my phone ugh)

Yep! No hiding that belly!

Glad I am not alone I feel like I should be on a soap as I keep using props to hide behind whenever I get an unexpected visitor. I'm forever carrying a basket of washing/ironing and trying to politely get them to leave. Roll on announcement day !
