Am I showing or just fat?

Hi I'm pregnant with my third child and I'm pretty small about 5'1 112 lb and I'm only about six weeks but my waist line is already disappearing, is it just weight gain or has anyone else started loosing their waist line this soon?

It's most likely bloat - but that will turn into baby!

Married my BEST FRIEND on December 1, 2007. Started TTC in March 2008. Found out we were expecting our first child in October 2008 - but had a m/c in December 2008 - resulting in a d&e. Met with a RE in May 2009 and set a plan - but conceived unexpectedly on our own! Our precious little Sophia was born on February 9, 2010! Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

I'm 8 weeks (with #1), and although I don't have anything "showing" yet, I'm definitely bloated, and having trouble buttoning my pants!

Im not an expert because im only pregnant with my first but Ive read that you can show sooner if its not your first pregnancy. Not sure how soon though.

Your ute can stretch earlier with each pregnancy but 6 weeks is too soon imo. Bloat will still arrive on time so that is probably what it is. I popped at 11 weeks 3 days this time.

It might just be bloat, but it's still pregnancy related! I'm almost 7 weeks with my first and there is an obvious change. I'm thin and fit to start with and there is a definite bump. You can clearly see it and I can't suck it in! Lol.

I have been thinking the same thing! I feel so swollen and wonder if anyone knows how to get rid of the bloat. Anyone? My body is still thin but my stomach is swollen and my pants are a bit tight.  I am a little over 9 weeks and this seems way to soon to show.  I am normally not a big eater and now trying to eat enough for the day so wondered if this had something to do with it too.

Its baby bloat.  I am about the same size as you and now at 12 weeks.  I started wearing my belly band several weeks ago.  Yesterday I wore a pair of maternity pants (probably too early but super comfy!).  You are bloated because you are pregnant -- it is not a bad thing.  Just uncomfortable. 

I can tell that most (all?) is still bloat because it gets bigger as the day goes on.  The baby itself is still very tiny and your uterus is behind your pubic bone so its not showing anything yet. 

Each time I go to the OB, I have them show me where my uterus is.  As of a few days ago, my uterus was only a few inches above my pubic bone.  I wear what is comfortable (belly band) and not worry about if it is too early.  I am not going to uncomfortable all day.

Hi,

I am only at 4 weeks and 2 days and I am showing as well. My waist line is almost disappeared. I don't think mine is bloating. I know when my stomach is bloated and when it is not.

I would say just enjoy your time and just forget about weight gain at this time and adjust your clothing as per the need.

 Good luck.
