Is it normal to show early?
I just pulled up an old thread to see when people start to show.
I was kind of surprised to see the most common answer was 17 weeks.
I'm only 11 weeks - and my pants don't fit at all. Could it just be fat??

It's completely normal. I'm an early shower as well. I started showing at about 10-11 weeks.
ETA: Also, keep in mind everyone is different and carries differently.

It is very possible you are just bloated. That is very common at 11 weeks. If it is that it will go away and then later on you will really show!

I showed pretty early. There are pics in my album. Everyone is different!

Re: Is it normal to show early?
There is a difference between showing and things not fitting. I think we are generally more critical of our own bodies. My pants didnt fit around 9 or 10 weeks. I went and bought a few pairs of non maternity pants 1 size bigger than normal and wore them until I was ready for maternity around 16 or 17 weeks.
But even though I thought I was showing, I didnt get any questions/comments until about 15 weeks.
Every body is different, some show early (a friend of mine was getting LOTS of questions and comments about being preggo by 10 weeks) and some show later (a coworker didnt look preggo until about 25 weeks)
Dont worry, just enjoy this time! You will be surprised at how quickly you look "not pregnant" again after your DC is born

My pants did not zip from the 8 weeks mark. I thought I was showing. Some people did not think so but a few (who knew me well!) could see I was PG and told me they could tell.
I had a constant growth. Not a big growth at the end.

I agree, usually this early it is more bloating then showing. I thought the same thing. To be honest I didn't really start to show until 21 or so weeks.
