Have any petite moms started showing earlier than the usual 2nd trimester?

Question

I am currently 7 weeks, and feel I might be showing already. I know many women experience bloat around this time so I'm trying to decipher if it's bloat or baby. I am 4'll & 117. This is last Monday vs this past Monday. What do you other ladies think? Any petite mamas go through something similar? The all knowing Google told me it's possible to show earlier because of my size, what are your thoughts?

Answer

It's bloat I'm 115 pounds and 5'4 I look like I'm 3 months pregnant when I'm only 6 weeks

You won't start really showing till later 12+

Answer

It's very very unlikely to show this early. The baby is generally just about the size of a blue berry. Your uterus is starting to get larger and is retaining more fluids. Right now your experiencing bloat but your bloating because your pregnant :) you can call it your baby bump if you want too! I'm just under ten weeks and I have a 24/7 bloat going on lol but I still consider it to be part of my bump since it's only there because there is also a baby in there! Congrats on your pregnancy!

Answer

Looks like bloat. You probably won't start showing until 12-16 weeks :)

Answer

It's still bloat but bloat caused by baby so I say embrace it. :) my bloat went up and down for the first few weeks.

Answer

Im 100 lbs and with first pregnancy started showing 18-20 weeks and now seconed, i started showing closer to 16-18. I dont think it has anything to do with being patite every women carrys diferent no matter their size... oddly enough i see more patite women show slower!

Answer

Id say bloat this early- but for FTM it's common for them sti start showing much later into the 20 something weeks but since you say you are petite, you could start showing 16-20 weeks

Answer

Baby is the size of a poppy seed and we'll down behind your public bone. Even if you where two foot tall you couldn't be showing yet. 
It's bloat I imagine.

Answer

My progress! At 7 weeks I was crazy bloated! Looked huge, felt super fat! By 9 weeks the bloat went down and by 10 I was starting to really show! I'm now at 13+3! 
Wouldn't say I'm petite but yunno xD
