your body changing?
My boobs seemed to get bigger almost immediately after BFP.
I noticed last week that my lower abdomen felt bigger, and this week when I bend over in the shower, I swear I can "feel" like there's something in there. I highly doubt anyone else notices anything different.
I know most ladies don't start to show until week 14 or so, but just curious what your experience has been. It's fun to hear what everyone else is going through.
It'll be nice to someday have a noticeable bump, not just look thick in the middle like I ate all the mac 'n chese
My boobs got huge right away but I also apparently stopped digesting anything so grew a huge gas belly before my first trimester even ended. So my body changed really fast and it was totally impossible to hide that I was pregnant at 10 weeks. I know most women don't get huge or show until much later.
I did hear, though, that when you "pop" it seems like it happens over night.
I noticed at the beginning of 12 weeks that my abdomen felt different, like my uterus was starting to move up and I could feel a hard lump there. It's easiest to feel when I first get up after laying down. At my NT scan at 12.5w, that's exactly where she did the ultrasound, so I was happy to know it wasn't all in my head.
I am 13.5w now and I don't think I look noticeably pregnant yet. I told a co-worker yesterday and when I told her I was due in Nov, she was like, "no way, you're so tiny!" Which is not true, I'm not tiny even when I'm not pregnant, but it made me feel good, lol.
Oh and my boobs were already huge, but I don't think they've grown much yet. Maybe a half cup size? I started with DDs, so I don't want too much growth in that area.
I also had a coworker who knows tell me at 8 weeks I was showing. I got kind of mad because I was determined to not gain any/much during the first tri and I was up 3 lbs in one weekend. But all my clothes still fit so I'm happy with that.

Boobs got bigger immediately. I went from a C to a DD already. I'm not even out of the first trimester yet. I have a bump as well. It's my 2nd (3rd including my mc) pregnancy though so I expected changes pretty quickly.
I noticed my boobs immediately too - they were super sensitive, and they felt fuller if that makes sense. I already had large boobs, and I haven't actually had to change my bras yet but I felt like my boobs got huge, lol
Around Week 6 is when I started getting majorly bloated and my jeans started feeling snug because of it.
I noticed today at work (I'm 13 weeks) when I bent over in my chair to pick something up that fell off my desk it was actually really kind of difficult and I definitely had the "I can "feel" like there's something in there" feeling
My boobs seemed to get bigger by the end of like, week 5. It was crazy how uncomfortable they got right away. I've been bloated since about week 7, and that hasn't gone away. I look like I gained an extra 5+ lbs all in my midsection.
I felt pretty bloated early on, but when I announced at work at 13 weeks nobody had been aware. I was using a rubberband on my jeans by then, though. I felt like it started turning into looking like the beginnings of a pregnant belly around 15/16 weeks.

My boobs gained two cup sizes already. I went from a D to a falling out of DD (which is why I am assuming 2). That started at like week 5 and change.
I am on week 7. I feel bloated a lot, but I also have some serious digestive issues that are just being made worse will all this hormone stuff. My clothes still fit, but I feel really fat.
My boobs exploded! I went from a D to a F in 10 weeks. My stomach started changing around week 15. I couldn't wear my pants anymore. I barely had gained any weight by week 20, so I keep thinking most of it is bloat.
I am almost 19 weeks and I don't think my body has changed much. My stomach feels a little harder and I can't suck it in, but my boobs are the same size, my regular clothes still fit and I haven't gained any weight (which is ok, as I am overweight).

My boobs went from a D to DD almost immediately and I looked like I had 5 pounds of bloat pretty quickly too. Didn't really look pregnant or pop until almost 18 weeks, just looked fatter before that
My boobs went from a D to a DD in week 6. I just feel super bloated, but I've only gained 4 lbs. I look like I ate too much and need to poop. I can still see the definition of the top of my abs and my obliques, just with a potbelly in the middle. Its weird. But my boobs, OMG. They are heavy and full and sore. I'm over them already.
Boobs were sensitive very early on and I have noticed they are fuller. A few years ago, I lost ~90 lbs, and when I did my boobs deflated. They seem to be filling back up a bit...less of an orange in a tube sock effect
I got pretty bloated around week 9, but really felt around 13 weeks I looked pregnant. Just in the past week or so, my belly has really rounded out. I was underweight pre pg, so my stomach changes were obvious to me very early, but easily hidden under bulky winter layers. My boobs are exactly the same still at 24 weeks. I was hoping for a little boost (wilted)
My boobs got fuller and heavier right away. I am still in the super bloated stage. I'm excited to actually be showing so I don't just look like I way over ate. Not to mention, I feel like I look pregnant since I'm so I am so bloated and I am not ready for people to start questioning my midsection.

H and I noticed pretty early. I still fit in my clothes, though until about 17-18 weeks. My coworkers were shocked when I told them at 20 or so, and I still have a few that say I look so small for 33+ weeks. I feel like a whale, though, lol.
Granted, I'm 5'8" with a medium/large frame (normally around a size 12-16), so I can hide weight pretty well.

My boobs have gotten bigger right away both times. With DD, it was around 7 weeks when I noticed my pants were super uncomfortable when I was sitting down, but it took until second tri before I started getting maternity clothes.
This time I swear I noticed a weird... feeling ... in my abdomen right around when I got a BFP. I can't even describe it, but I felt like things shifted around or something. I pulled out the maternity clothes by 9 weeks. No reason not to be comfortable. I still only look like I've been pigging out for now.
I haven't noticed much of a change. I'm either 11 or 12 weeks today. We'll see what the us says. I definitely feel different...like there's a grapefruit in my pelvis. Lol. But I'm pretty sure I don't look different. I didn't exactly have wash board abs to begin with though.I've lost about 2 pounds.

I'm usually a belly sleeper, and I can't really right now, because I feel the pressure on my uterus. It's been that way for a few weeks, and I hit 11 weeks yesterday. My boobs have also been very tender, and while my bras still fit, they are definitely heavier.
