Is this normal?

I am 6w4d and I have such a belly!! I am pregnant with Chat Icon Chat Icon and this is my second pregnancy (DC is 3y/o). My stomach has grown in only two and a half weeks Chat Icon I know it's bloat but I can't even hide it at work anymore. I'm wearing flowy type shirts, but I'm getting looks and stares and someone flat out asked me if I was pregnant! Is anyone else "showing" already???

Re: Is this normal?

Yep, totally. I thought I'd be so happy about it but it's waaaaaay too soon! We gotta talk girl... I look 4 months pregnant already, and I cannot even think about putting on my normal work pants with a button and zipper. I am majorly bloated all around my midsection.

I wonder if I popped or it's just bloating Chat Icon

I ordered some pants with elastic in the waist that look like dress pants. Yuck but I can't wear leggings every day. Spanx don't even help! Chat Icon

Sounds like me! Just had someone else ask me if I was expecting - seriously?? Do people not have manners anymore?

Do you have a Bella Band? I used one my first pregnancy with DD and it helped a ton! I'm wearing it today with my regular work pants because I can barely even zipper them (forget about buttoning them!). if you don't have one, definitely get it! They sell them at Target!

I feel like I've looked pregnant since 7w!! I'm 9w now and alot of pants and skirts dont fit. I definitely have a little belly. It's probably just bloating. I feel like I look more fat than pregnant. I'm not ready to fully "come out" and I'm worried people will be able to tell!

I can assure you, you have not 'popped'! At this point, it's all bloating. The baby is the size of a poppy seed! Chat Icon

I remember being bigger at 9wks than at 11- when the bloating finally went down from stopping the progesterone. A few weeks later, I did in fact 'pop'... but not until 15/16wks.

I just posted a similar question!!

I am in the same position but I'm not having Chat Icon Chat Icon... well at least I don't think I am!! I have my first sono tomorrow and I most definitely look pregnant already. I am 5w4d. It is definitely just bloat at this pont, but the bump is there nonetheless. It's really tricky bc I don't know how to respond when people ask!

People always thought I was pregnant between my perpetual bloat from stims.. etc..


I'd just look them in the face and be like "Why do you think that?" ...


Throw it back in their face! See if they have the nerve to tell you that you look fat! Chat Icon If they say you look bigger, say you need to cut down on sweets...

Technically, that is not 'denying' anything...

Chat Icon That would be awesome! I can't think that quick on my feet though.. and it would probably come out all wrong and I'd embarass the hell out of myself. Chat Icon
