Anyone start showing really early?
This is my first pregnancy...But at 9 weeks today, my belly is definately noticeably bigger than pre-pregnancy and it looks like the start of a bump. Trying to hide it through very lose clothes and leggings, but didn't think I'd start showing so early! Definately is different than the bloat I had the first few weeks. I love it - just trying to figure out what I can wear for next 4 weeks until we tell everyone 
Anyone else start showing really early?

It may feel big now then get smaller. I was so bloated, it looked bumpish. Then that went away and I felt more normal. Then I had like a higher and lower poofed out feeling in my stomach and now finally the bloat is gone and my belly is more in the lower section. Its a mind trip! lol

for me it was all bloat initially, starting at around 7/8 weeks. but the stomach did look dif than non pregnant. It used to be flat and then it started expanding in not only outward but also at the love handles area (major love handles LOL).
Now at 16 weeks its a def small bump which been almost the same for the past 2.5 weeks.

Same here! up to about 16 weeks I was a walking balloon! Towards the evening I looked 6 months pregnant... Now at almost 23 weeks the bloat has gone down and I've returned to my proportional size and look very similar to where I was with the first pregnancy.

Yup! I just told DH the other night I feel like I'm 5-6 months pregnant at night time, especially before bed. Glad to hear it's mainly bloat and it will go down a bit. For now, loose sweaters and tights will have to do the trick.

I showed early with my first. I am assuming when I get PG for #2 I will be huge from day one.
I also gained most of my weight the first 2 trimesters. This is why I tell people not to freak about gains. Each person is different.
I never hid my pregnancy though.

I was so bloated! It got worse as the day went on- and I actually told people at 8-9 weeks bc I felt like it was obvious anyways. Now at 20 weeks I feel the same size as I did at 8 but this is real belly now.

I don't look pregnant, but I am super bloated...so I look like I got crazy fat. I asked my Dr today, he said it was normal with twins.

Re: Anyone start showing really early?
I showed early with both but more so with #2. I know it's not your actual uterus poking out that early on but I don't say "it's just bloat" because I never looked like that when I wasn't pregnant. My "bloat" didn't go away either. I just got the "Omg you're so huge" comments my entire pregnancy.

Re: Anyone start showing really early?
Yes, I'm pretty sure it was just bloat but someone actually asked if I was pregnant when I was only 8 weeks!! It went down around 12-13 weeks and then my real bump started lol

Re: Anyone start showing really early?
I started to show very early with this pregnancy. This is my second child and I feel I am growing really fast. I did wear more loose fitting shirts until I was ready to tell work, and just a little advice, start wearing the maternity clothes early. I waited with my first, thinking that it was great I could still fit into my jeans and everything at 5 months, but when I put on those maternity pants I realized how silly it was to wait. This is the only time you get to wear elastic jeans and dress pants-enjoy it! I took out all my maternity clothes this time at about 10 weeks.

Re: Anyone start showing really early?
I started showing extremely early. I'm pretty slim pre-pregnancy. My face changed very quickly so people started speculating about that. But also, I got a bump (not bloat) very early. I tried to hide it for as long as I could with scarves and oversized sweaters, but it got so ridiculous that by week 10/11, people were just coming up to me at work and saying "congrats". Lol.

With my DS I got bloated very, very quickly and showed a lot sooner than I am with my second. I was in maternity clothes by 10-11 weeks!

Looks like I should go on a little shopping fun in the next few days. I wore my regular tights yesterday and even those felt tight at certain times in the day.

This makes me feel better, I put on maternity jeans at 10w5d. I can fit into everything, but jeans are wicked uncomfortable.

This is my 2nd pregnancy, so I am showing a lot sooner. I probably just look more fat than I do pregnant because there isn't a defined bump, but it makes clothes uncomfortable. I'm wearing maternity shirts or bigger shirts and bigger jeans or leggings.

Same! Plus, I was about 10 lbs heavier to start with this time around so it's not like my belly was flat to begin with! I was in maternity pants/leggings around 10w also. I'm 13w now and still haven't told work but I'm sure people are speculating!
