I found in my 1st pregnancy I bloated heaps between weeks 6-9, then went back to normal till about week 14 when it started getting big and hard.

This time I bloated again around week 6 and now at 11 weeks I feel as big as I did at around 20 weeks with DD!

But I think being so close together my tummy muscles had NO chance of recovering, I doubt they were even back together in the middle yet.

I'm showing at 9 weeks, I think its being slim to start with means any slight weight gain shows. Also, I've had no morning sickness and therefore retaining all food :D]]> Fri, 15 Jul 2011 21:33:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1363379&title=showing-early#1363379 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1362950&title=showing-early#1362950 Author: Linda Albert

I guess it just depends how you carry... I am 5'2 just and was 54kg pre baby and even when my weight dropped to 50kg you still couldn't tell I was utd until about 20 weeks - just! Post baby... Well I'm 52kg now and a lil bit of tum and I could pass as UTD and I'm not! ]]> Sun, 10 Jul 2011 21:34:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1360520&title=showing-early#1360520 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1360504&title=showing-early#1360504 Author: Nikki

I was ultra fit and had visable abs when I was younger, and I still showed early first time.
I think part of it is being short, as your uterus moves up there is no where for it to hide when you're short so it can look like a bump early, even if theres not much bub in there.
Alot of taller people I know were barely showing by half way through ... people were asking me when I was due

Im 5'5 and was 46kg pre-pregnancy and 10 weeks tomorrow. (i have supernatural skinny genes) I have a bigger the before tummy after dinner and after a few cups of tea but by morning i'd say i'm almost as flat as normal.

My MW told me that generally women that have tight stomach muscles show alot later then women who have looser tummies i.e that have had babies before.

Ha everyones different a suppose, i can't wait till i can see something.

Okay that all makes me feel a little better. We've decided to start telling people in a couple of weeks so I won't need to try and hide it then. I have to admit it's quote novel having a bump already! As for boobs, I've always been big so that increase hasn't been toooo noticeable so far.
Thanks ladies!]]> Sun, 10 Jul 2011 10:30:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1360251&title=showing-early#1360251 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1360199&title=showing-early#1360199 Author: troutpout

Lol inkedpixie, I'm amazed how quickly I'm showing this time. I'm petite too, was 60kg at BFP. Not really put any weight on yet, but have a proper little bump already. With DD I just looked a bit fat for ages, only really 'popped out' about 22 weeks. Hmmmmmm, this time my body seems to remember what to do lol]]> Sun, 10 Jul 2011 07:54:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1360199&title=showing-early#1360199 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1360126&title=showing-early#1360126 Author: Nikki

I'm just under 5'4 and was 54kgs pre-preg. I had people guess from 7.5wks on. Partly cos my totally flat tum was gone and I always wore tight tops, but partly cos my boobs got way bigger too! By 10wks HEAPS of people were guessing.
Second time around the bump came out even faster!!]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2011 21:31:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1360126&title=showing-early#1360126 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359958&title=showing-early#1359958 Author: Plushie

hah cinderella! If you're just a wee thing chances are you'll show nice and early. Use it as an excuse to wear stretchy waisted pants early. Mmm, comfy. You can see a 'line' down the side of my tummy where my stomach used to be lol. And i was quite fit - i had abs, man, abs! so i really didnt expect to bust out a gut so early. I'm 5'7 and was about 70kg too so quite a lot bigger then you.

I had a teeny pot belly from about 6 weeks, but unless you knew you couldn't tell. I am quite lean though, so I guess all the extra fluid etc does make you'd show quite early]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2011 13:15:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359909&title=showing-early#1359909 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359861&title=showing-early#1359861 Author: Cinderella

Hey Bowie- how did you get a pic of me lol. I am sure I look exactly the same only I am 8 weeks today. In my case though I had so much cramping and stretching that I think my stomach muscles have just lost all of their strength.]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2011 10:23:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359861&title=showing-early#1359861 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359743&title=showing-early#1359743 Author: Plushie

Mine was obvious at about 8 weeks too. Just as a co-incidence i was viewing my own bump pics on another tab so here is a bonus picture of me 12w4d



And i was like, totally flat tummied before hand.

Either that or its twins ]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:50:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359743&title=showing-early#1359743 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359706&title=showing-early#1359706 Author: KC82

I found out about my friend's pregnancy at 5 weeks, and I swear I could tell at about 7.   Her bump actually shrunk a bit at about 12- she was a bit freaked, but turns out it's quite common, as bloat bump turns into baby bump!

I'm sure I'm poking out too, but I have a bit of a tum anyway, and have had a few days of bloating too, so I don't think it counts :)]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:20:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359706&title=showing-early#1359706 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359635&title=showing-early#1359635 Author: Inkedpixie

Hi all!
This is a bit of a 'newbie' question, but how early did you all start to show? I'm 5'1 & a bit, pre preggy weight was around 50kgs, and I'm 7 weeks tomorrow based on my lmp.
Last night I noticed a little bump, which I initially put down to me seeing things, but then DF commented on it too, and this morning a friend who knows I've got a baby on board commented too. It's not overly noticeable in clothes, and unless people knew I was utd they'd probably think I've just eaten too many pies hehe. Is it unusual to show so early?
Thanks in advance, TGIF!]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:27:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39836&PID=1359635&title=showing-early#1359635
