A little early to be showing??

So I am about 12 weeks pregnant (still sick, throwing up constantly, but that's another post).

This morning somebody from work looked at my stomach and asked me if I was expecting!!! I have a little bump - but I always had a little tummy. I have not told anybody at work yet and said I was not expecting because she caught me completely offguard. Plus, I didn't want to fess up before telling the people I work directly with (she is in another department).

I honestly don't think I am showing, more just look a little heavier. Do I have to start telling work people now??

Honestly, unless the baby is actually coming out of a woman NEVER ask her if she is expecting unless she brings it up. I was so uncomfortable!!

I was definetly showing at 12 weeks, People knew right away. As far as telling work, you do it when you ae ready.

My body changed almost immediately and by 12 weeks people that knew me could tell that something was up. Strangers I'm sure just assumed I was chubby. My bosses suspected so I ended up telling them at 11 or 12 weeks that I was PG. They were not surprised.

This EXACT thing happened to me.

I guess I got fat fast...everyone was talking about it so I eventually just told my boss because I had to. I was only 10 weeks.

Re: A little early to be showing??

I began to show around the same time - but was still able to hide it depending on what i was wearing.

Even though i was beginning to show, I still decided to wait and tell my coworkers when i was ready - i told them at 14 weeks - i waited till the first trimester was over and until i got my test results.

But my coworkers fessed up to me after I told them, and told me they suspected I was pregnant after I told them i had to leave early for doctor appointments.....

Re: A little early to be showing??

I was def. a little bloated at 12 weeks..so people may have questioned it... but not far along enough where anyone would have know for sure...

I think tell them when you are ready... but when you finally pop... your growing rate is pretty rapid..so bewareChat Icon

My friend was showing at 8 weeks!! Everyone is different I guess. She had to tell her job right away in her case because it was so obvious.

I agree with everyone else. One of my friends is a week behind me (I'm 23 weeks) and she's STILL not showing...does wonders for my self esteem. Where's the icon with the continuously growing preggo belly????

I totally agree with this. I def. had a belly early on - and it was obvious that I had gained weight but I didn't tell anyone at my office until I was 3 months.

I am 15 weeks and think I am starting to show--my belly feels all bloated. I personally think it is so rude for someone to ask you if your pregnant. Some people have no manners!Chat Icon

I am about 6 weeks with my second and I am definitely showing!!

For my first, and since it was winter, I was able to hid under big sweaters until like 16-18 weeks along. That's when I told my bosses, and they said they thought so, but knew better than to ask Chat Icon
