8 weeks and showing

[janedoe]

From my BMB...I'm giggling on the inside about a girl who thinks she is showing at 8 weeks. Someone even posted a baby bump diagram for her and she still doesn't believe it's bloat. I'm on baby #3 so I am absolutely sure my belly is a mixture of bloat and fat.

When did you ladies all show? I think I was 17 weeks with the last dd

[VillainV]

Uh yeah, I'm at 8 weeks, and the only belly I have was there LONG before I was pregnant:-)

[janedoe]

Lol me too! Add some dinner on top of it too

[adlove]

Haha! My bloat is so bad sometimes I want to tell people I'm about 4 months along instead of 2, but... I'll resist the urge.

I think around 19-21 weeks is when things really popped, where it was obvious.

I looked back at a pic of myself from early on with my bloat. I laughed at how tiny and thin I look when I thought I was huge.

[emisi]

Hmm, I don't really remember, exactly. 15 weeks to myself, maybe, and 18 or 19 to other people? I'd been in maternity pants for a while at that point, mostly for comfort reasons.

[joolz]

Haha. With G I got the little hard belly around 17-18 weeks and actually popped around 24.

This time I already have the little hard belly, maybe around 14 weeks? But massive bloat before that.

Last time I was showing around 20 weeks.

I showed early and had a distinct baby bump at 13 weeks. Here is a PIP (which I will delete, so no quoting, please.)

*poof*

But I'm short with no torso, so this baby has nowhere to go but out.

ETA - I had only gained about 3 pounds at this point and started at a weight healthy for my height.

[janedoe]

Underwater- is this your first?

[imoan]

You can never convince people like that that there's only bloat there at 8 weeks.

[underwaterrhymes]

janedoe - Indeed it is.

[rt2008]

I had some serious bloat today and I *felt* like I was showing compared to my usual self, but I at least know it's all bloat. She's crazy.

[imoan]

It went from bloat to hard belly at around week 13-14 for me. But the belly isn't obvious when I'm wearing jeans etc. so 8 weeks for a ftm... Don't think so!

[aliceinfairyland]

I'm still showing from my past pregnancy...
