im 8 weeks and look pregnant, but its because im bloated. you can start showing some at 10 weeks, but your uterus is just barely above your pelvic bone so chances are you may also be bloated too

I'm totally bloated and it's driving my husband crazy. He doesn't think I should have this much belly this early (12 weeks) but I'm barely eating at maintenance and have only gained about a pound so I know it's not me getting "fat" on top of baby.

Each pregnancy I show earlier and earlier! This time (3rd), I was so bloated that I decided to just start wearing maternity pants right away. probably around 6-8 weeks. (I can't remember exactly now). I eat a lot of gassy vegetables, so I know thats part of my problem. lol But also, I think my body just remembers and my uterus starts to stretch right out! lol I was a little nervous about twins at first, too, though there is no history in my family. Just one in there, though!

It's probably just from being bloated. I was bloated for all the first trimester. Then the bloating disappeared and i was able to zip my pants up again. then bam, the real bump popped. lol
BTW, i too can't stand it when people try to touch my bump.

I was thinking of you today, have you delivered yet?

I was very bloated this time - my third - from quite early on. By the evening I looked huge. My jeans were tight by 9 weeks. Although when I told people at work when I was 12.5 weeks they were surprised and said they couldn't tell.

I didn't show with my first until I was about 22 weeks. I was waiting and waiting for a bump!

Everybody is different, don't listen to the people who say 10 weeks is too early to have a belly! I didn't look pregnant (just thicker around the torso) until 20-22 weeks with my first. I'm 19 weeks with #2 and some days I look bloated, some days I sort of look pregnant. I have friends who had huge bellies early in their second trimester, a coworker I didn't know was pregnant until she was nearly in her 3rd tri (she's really tall and nobody could tell when she wasn't wearing snug tops), and when I met my massage therapist she was clearly pregnant but it turned out she was only 11 weeks. One size does not fit all when it comes to pregnancy!

Don't worry about venting and being a "drama queen". Pregnancy is a time of surging hormones and big life changes, it's normal to be emotional. I had several days during my first tri where I was a raging b!tch/cranky mommy, but it goes away.

10 1/2 wks and I look 5 months- 3rd pregnancy. I started getting that bloated look at 5-6 wks. Oh well......there's a baby in there...not much you can do! I will never have a cute lil baby bump.
