Showing??

[Neenee Jellybeanie]

I'm not even 9 weeks yet but my tummy is HUGE! I don't think I've put weight on yet (I exercise have not been able to eat much due to m/s) actually I think I may have lost weight . . . yet I have a big belly!

With my first, my tummy popped straight away, I think I retain a lot of fluid. My digestion has also slowed down a tonne (thanks, progesterone) so I suspect this is why I honestly look like I'm showing! Which sucks because I don't want work to know about this!

Am I the only one who has a big tummy so early?

I was showing at 10 weeks with DD - and ive heard with the second you tend to pop out a bit quicker. May have to invest in a few looses tops to keep it under wraps for a few weeks. Congratulations though

Thanks. I think I was showing with DD around that time as well. What confuses me is that it isn't until 10 weeks that the uterus actually extends above the pelvic bones!

I was in mat clothes by 10wks with my second.

With my first I had a flat tummy till 26 weeks, this time around im a bloated whale at 9 weeks. I guess its just water retention, bowels, and ur tummy muscles

I am also 9 wks and showing & it does make it so hard to keep the secret!!! Loose tops all the way!

Hiya
I was around 10-11wks when my tummy truly popped - I am bigger than my friend who is 24wks and I am not even 14wks.

All I am eating is oranges at the moment so its not excess weight - I don't think

Congrats, Tess.

I've dug my own grave here because I only really own right shirts! I find that lose shirts seem to hang off my frame in funny ways and make me look bigger than I am (since I have big boobs and wide hips) whereas tight things show off my waist. Unfortunately they're showing off my bump as well!

Yeah, when I went to see my family at xmas I wanted to wait to tell them till into the second tri for the usual reasons - but it was so blindingly obvious I didn't stand a chance of hiding it. I was almost at the second anyway so it wasnt so hard, but I had been "feeling" the bump when I lay on my stomach for a few weeks before that.
