Im only 8 weeks pregnant, but i look like I'm already in my 4th month. (Thats when pregnant women usually start to show) I've only been eating salad, fruit and the occasional snack or slice or pizza or something. Whats going on with me? I feel like im carrying a million babies instead of one... Shocked

Because of the gassy bloat that pregnant women get. Multiples have no obvious weight gain in the early weeks.

are you actually gaining weight? or do you just 'feel' like it because of your stomach?

Bloating is normal in the first few weeks, and it may just feel like you're growing too fast, but it should actually go down before you actually start growing.

Try a simple work out as well. If you can't get outside for a walk, try sidesteps for 10-15 minutes. It's good to exercise during pregnancy anyway.
