Anyone start showing right away?
I'm only around 4 weeks (or at least thats what I thought, but im now wondering if I'm possibly further along) and I'm already showing quite a lot. Its not bloat, its an actual baby belly. Its all in the belly and its firm (not fat). I literally look like I'm 3 or 4 months already (not exagerating AT ALL). I'll post pics when I get a chance.
Anyone else show like this in the beginning??
ETA: I'm pretty thin naturally, dont know if that makes a difference.

Re: Anyone start showing right away?
That sounds way too early to be showing!!! I'm going to say it is bloat.

I got my BFP on Tuesday and I am really bloated and my pants feel very tight! This is baby #2 also for me.

Re: Anyone start showing right away?
I am now in my third trimester and I was instantly bloated when I first became pregnant. My stomach was also hard. My mom could not believe how big I was at 7 weeks. Then, the bloating ended up going down and the real baby belly came around 20 weeks.

I bloated very early on, but there's a definite difference between bloat and actual baby belly.

I was extremely bloated right away. But then that went down before baby belly started.

Re: Anyone start showing right away?
Look in my album.. I had a tiny belly pretty early on but it was more like 8 or 9 weeks not 4.

Re: Anyone start showing right away?
I have some definite bloat going on. Infact Saturday night I put on my regular jeans and they felt tight in the waist, they have always fit fine. I got my bfp the next day.

Re: Anyone start showing right away?
I did. I have been wearing maternity pants from 9 weeks and at 13 weeks I am finding that most of my shirts don't stay down over my belly.
I have only gained 4 pounds. So it's not that I am gaining weight too fast.
I will say that up until a few weeks ago I was more bloated all around. That is going down and now I have more a centralized bump.
Pics are in the album. I need to put up some from this week to really show the difference, but, it is there.

Re: Anyone start showing right away?
I am so very bloated at 5+ weeks and look like I'm showing. But I know it's all bloat - and my original extra pounds

It has got to be bloat, the baby is less than a millimeter long at this point! I was super bloated (gassy and water retention) for the first several weeks, and my belly felt firm too. Then at about 7 weeks, it went down. I'm 9 weeks now and I am still not showing at all.

Re: Anyone start showing right away?
Thanks ladies -- sounds like its bloat then. I wasnt sure if the bloat would make my belly firm, but everything matches with all of your experiences.
We went out last night and I couldnt believe that I couldnt find ONE shirt that somewhat hides my "belly." My jeans all fit fine, but my stomach is just so bloated and round that no matter what shirt I wear you can tell that I'm pregnant.
At least its only temporary until the real baby belly comes!
