How are ladies showing already at 8-10 weeks?

Question

I’ve been seeing ladies on here posting their bumps at 8-10 weeks and they’re as big as a typical 20+ week bump. How is this possible? Is it from having multiple pregnancies? Truly curious as I am 10 weeks and just a little bloated.

Answer

I'm pretty big at 13 weeks.  I def feel really bloated.   I'm not tall, so if my uterus is the size of a grapefruit that's pretty big for my body.   It's prolly mostly bloat, maybe some hormones (i did FET), and maybe some showing.   I'm honestly scared to be this big already haha.   This is my first pregnancy.

Answer

Bloating and multiple pregnancies

Answer

Bloat is an incredible thing in early pregnancy 😂😂 seriously though it’s all bloat 95% of the time

Answer

Yeah, I'm 15 weeks and I just look bloated.

Answer

It’s bloat. I didn’t show until 16-18 weeks. Before that I just looked pudgy.

Answer

Bloating and things expand a lot faster with subsequent pregnancies. For example, at my 15 week appt my midwife said my uterus was almost double the size of a FTM, it's baby #2 for me.

Answer

Also, if it’s their second+ pregnancy, they show sooner because their bodies know what to do quicker the second and third time around.

Answer

It’s bloat. The uterus doesn’t grow up out of the pelvis until after 12-13 weeks

Answer

Answer

More than likely it’s just bloat.
