Showing or bloat?

Ashley

I’m ten weeks and 3 days, i know I know, “baby is too small and tucked away for you to be showing” but I’ve actually read around 10-12 weeks is when you START to show so is this me starting to show or still bloat? Lol always is like this and has been getting bigger, stays big when I lay on my back and after I use the bathroom and can’t really suck my belly in anymore😂 and if it is JUST bloat then tell me why I’m already getting stretch marks😭😭😭😭😭 I am tiny, 4’10 and just hit 100lbs from this pregnancy, used to weigh 85😭

But also any recommendations for oils to put on my stomach for least amount of stretch marks?

Also no oils will prevent stretch marks , its all genetics! I used bio oil, olive oil, vitamin E oil, sweet almond oil, coconut oil, castor oil, you name it and i still have stretch marks all over my stomach. And i drenched myself in oils with each my pregnancies. Save your money girl. Those who dont get stretch marks are just genetically blessed and wouldnt have gotten any regardless

I know, i wish it was different i really do😭 i had such a small bump too, and yet got stretch marks everywhere. Looking back i wish i wouldve accepted it and saved some money (and my time from oiling myself up all day) but you live and learn lol. It is 100% worth it when you see your little miracle that came out if it

Every woman is different , with all my pregnancies i didnt show until after 22 weeks, and not until 27 weeks with my last one. But since you are smaller you could be showing earlier. Especially since youve gained “a lot” in such little time which also explains the stretch marks. Nothing wrong with that though. Embrace the bump and the stretch marks! Congrats 💗

It’s a baby bump then, a lot of shorter women show sooner because there’s less room in the torso

That looks like a bump to me! It’s definitely possible to show earlier, especially with 2nd+ baby’s. No ones body’s are exactly the same
