Q: Only About a Month Or Two And Already Showing

My doctors appointment is on the 3rd of january so I dont know exactly how far along I am but I have a pretty good idea that I am about 4 weeks, or 5. But I am already showing as if I was 3 months. How is this possiable if I am only 4 weeks. I cant be showing already. I have been eating the same. And doing lots of exercise so I dont think that it is just fat but I am so confused. With my son I feel that this happened too. My 3rd month I was in maturnity clothes and was so big. Am I just a early shower? I dont want to show yet because I am not ready to be big yet. I need advise. Anybody else looked pregnant so soon?

If you've already had a baby, you will show earlier than if it's your first. I'm starting to show already in the 10th week with my first, but I am extremely petite, so it's not surprising anyone that i'm showing already. I'm already in maternity panties and I only have another couple of weeks in my regular pants. I already have to unzip them after I eat, it's that noticable after meals. Absolute craziness!! I love it

I have been wearing my maternity pants since week six. I am having twins though. Around week six I just couldn't get my pants zipped. Everyone is different though. Growing out of clothes early could also mean water retension. Either way, I love being pregnant - belly & all. Just enjoy it while it's here. It will be over before you know it:)

So I went to my midwife, I am almost 2 months. My stomach I already getting hard and im showing. I guess I have to just deal with it. I think that everybody is different. Some dont show till 3 or 4 months but people like me show as early as 2 months.

Thanks for everbodys input

Hi everyone,
well I am 5 weeks this is my 3rd child and I feel that my stomach has poped out a little already!
I was hoping to conceal this pregnancy at least until the 12 week mark as we had problems with our 2nd child and I am just playing it safe until we see the genetic drs.
Then when we get the ok I will be sure to shout it from the roof tops that I am pregnant...

Wishing you all well with your pregnancy's

I was showing early..But only in my eyes..I knew that my body was changing but not really anyone else. I went from size 4 to size drawstring by week 10. Lol...This is my first child. I am 25 weeks (the 1st week of my 7th month) and I get mixed reactions..Some people say i'm small and some people (the one's who knew me before) say i'm huge! Lol...I went from 125(waay underweight for me), to now 160(all belly) and I love every minute of it!! My belly button began poking out at about 17 weeks..Which is kind of early for a 1st child...But we think it's going to be a big baby!!

Hello everyone
i'm 9weeks prg with my 3rd pregnancy and i'm already i'm maternity clothes!! With my 1st I did not even show until I was 6months gone and my 2nd unfortunately ended i'm a miscarriage at 7 weeks but I did not show at all with that. I love having a belly especially after having lost one because it gives me reasurance that there is a baby growing inside of me.

Yeah im on my forth child and only ten weeks along.....I am starting to show. The weird thing is with my first three I did not show until I was about seven to eight months. So I guess everyone is different.
