Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

I feel live I've been showing since the day I got my BFP. I know it was probably bloat and the fact that I gained some weight after our wedding, but I definitely feel like I have a belly.

I'm a teacher and my kids have been asking me if I'm pregnant recently. Today one kid came out and said I was so they all screamed and said CONGRATS. So I basically had to announce it to them now when I wanted to wait a little. I then told my next class (actually a kid walking out told them!) and they all screamed and said "We knew it! We were just talking about that!"
WT FFF Am I that big?

A secretary asked me if I was today and said you're showing. I dont know if my boss told her, but if not, doesnt she know you dont ask women that question?!?!

I swear I walk around here and feel like everyone is looking at me like, "Is she pregnant or just getting chunky?"

Did/is anyone else showing so early? I will take a picture when I get home to show you all.

thats just ridiculous....even before i was trying...if i suspected, i would never ever say anything...people need to think before they speak...

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

I was showing at 6 weeks....this was me at 6.5 weeks...def showing...

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

I would never ask someone either. That's what annoys me. Yes, I get my students don't know better (8th grade), but I explained to them you shouldn't ask people that when you don't know and it's rude.

But as for adults, WHO DOES THAT?!?!

and awww cute bump at 6.5 weeks! Glad I'm not alone in showing early!

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

I showed very early, but I was on progesterone with bloated me immensely!

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

its not really showing, its just mega bloat. but it can look deceiving to others.

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

First trimester bloat was the worst. I swear I was smaller weeks 12-20 than I was at 8 weeks.

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

When I was 7 weeks, I had 2 people at work ask me on the same day if I was pg. I was wearing a cardigan that tied around the top, under the boobs, and by 7 weeks I'd already grown a cup size. So they weren't noticing a bump... as one colleague put it, I looked "fuller."

So between the "fullness" and the bloat, yes - even by week 7 your body looks different!

I'm sorry you had to come out sooner than you wanted to - I'm a teacher too, and at 13 weeks I still haven't told my students yet.

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

Kids can be so rude!! Their parents should teach them to be nicer...I teach ninth grade and havent told them yet but I cant wait to hear their comments as i start to gain weight!! Ugh..the adults should know better though!

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

I definitely was showing then...I think I was showing the day I got my BFP Depending on your stature, you can show earlier. I'm very tall and thin, so on me, any little belly gain stuck out like crazy.

Re: Showing at 9 1/2 weeks

everyone is different. I def felt like i was popping at 6 weeks. i was DEF bloated but it never went down.
By 10 weeks i was clearly showing and 11 weeks I got my butt some maternity jeans cuz I couldn't take being in sweats anymore.
