9 weeks today

Allyson

Okay so I am 9 weeks today and do not look any different, my first appointment is aug 12. I am seeing all these women with bumps and having the glow and I have nothing. I still look like I did before I found out I was pregnant.. is this normal? I'm trying not to compare but I am and I am making myself worried and heartbroken.

Any bump right now is really caused by bloat, which is normal at this stage. But it's also ok to not have it. Bloat makes me feel gross :(

With my first I started showing at about 10 weeks, but he was as big as a 14 week baby. It’s bloat right now. I am almost 8 weeks and it’s all bloat, I look like I am 6 months pregnant... i wish I could be like I was before! But don’t compare pregnancies. Every one is different.

I don’t look any different either and didn’t for my first two babies either. I started showing around 5-6 months for both pregnancies so I wouldn’t worry! Everyone is different!

Oh girl no one has a “bump” yet. They’re just bloated! I was too at this time last baby, and it’s happening to me in the evenings with thins one too. I didn’t actually “show” until probably 14 weeks with my first. It’ll probably be a little sooner this time around since it’s my second, but totally do not worry about that. Lots of people don’t show till like 18 or so with their first!No hate on bump pics this early though! 😉I took them too last time, it’s fun to see your progression!

These women posting “bump” pictures are just extremely bloated!!! don’t let it get you down. Every pregnancy is so different. Just eat a bunch of salt if you want a bloat too 😂 Also I do not have a glow. This morning sickness feels like I’ve been on a day drinking binge. I’m just miserable! Comparing will always get you down.

I’m 7 weeks with my second and don’t look any different. I barely started showing at 17 weeks with my first.

With my first I started to show at all around 12 weeks, and actually "popped" around 18 weeks. I am 5'5" and 125 lbs, so pretty small. It takes time 🤗
