Baby Bump/Bloat

It’s my first pregnancy. I’m currently 14w3d. I’ve gained a bit of weight, so I already had a little belly, but it’s bigger now, and I’m a bit self conscious about going home and being around old friends and family. They all know I’m pregnant, but I just feel too big and honestly fat. How soon did y’all start showing with your first?

I’m 14w5d and I’m showing now too and am shocked for how early it is. My doc yesterday said my body is prepping for when our boy gets bigger! I’m just trying to embrace all the firsts

Around 5 months a little bit, 6 months for a small baby bump (I got married at 6 months and it wasn’t noticeable). I’m 15w5days with my second and there’s a small bump if I’m laying down but nothing standing up. Everyone is different though, and when you don’t show for a long time you start to crossover into paranoid that the baby isn’t growing so it’s lose lose

Around 8/9 weeks… I had a little belly prior to becoming pregnant but around 8/9 weeks it was more round and pronounced. At 3 months I already looked as if I was 5 months. I have my moments where I feel big But since the weather has been a bit cooler, it’s nothing an oversized hoodie or jacket won’t fix lol.

I'm 16 weeks 2 days and I'm showing but it's not my first baby so I will show sooner. I don't care what I look like. I'm pregnant and if they want to look at me, they can. It's part of the human body does when a women is pregnant. No need to be ashamed or embarrassed about the weight we are gaining. We can always lose it after birth when we are cleared to do so! Your not fat. Your carrying a baby that is growing (:

I was bloated from pretty early on like 7/8 weeks so hung up the jeans almost straight away lol. It’s completely normal - we all get it! At moments I looked as pregnant then as I look now at 22 weeks 😂 all of a sudden the bloat disappeared and then the bump started to appear. Honestly your friends and family will just be so excited to see you, and they will probably want to touch your belly out of love. (It is a bit odd especially at first when you’re like it’s really just bloat you’re touching!)

@Lindsey I know! It’s just so hard to remember. Our bodies are changing

@Kathryn that’s good to know. I feel like I look so pregnant 😂 I love the bloat/bump look but I haven’t seen my family since I was 6 weeks

@Allyssa that’s so good to know and nice to remember

With my first I was noticeably pregnant versus just bloated until around 20 weeks. With my second it’s starting to happen closer to 15 weeks! Everyone is totally different though, I’ve always carried weight in my stomach so it just looks like I’m chubby again until the stomach rounds out 😂

My first pregnancy as well! Im more petite/short and I have always been someone to bloat so I bloated right away, even at the 5 week mark but id say about 12 weeks i was already having a bump. 16 weeks now and i feel like i look much bigger than that but trying to embrace the belly not let the comments get to me! ❤️ (people second guessing my due date or asking if its twins😅)
