Have you started showing?

I am just about 7 weeks and feel like I'm starting to show already! Where is everyone else at?

Nope.  Damn glad I'm not either.  I didn't start showing until about 20 weeks with DS.  Hoping for the same this round.

Its probably bloat.  Not bump

8 weeks and look exactly the same as I did before. 

With my first I started showing at about 16-18 weeks. Up until then it was bloat.

I think that is normal. I'm 10 weeks with my second baby and I can't fit into any of my pants so I'm just wearing my stretchy pants and maternity jeans. I know it is just bloat but it is ridiculous! I started actually showing at 14 weeks with my DS and don't recall being nearly this bloated, ever. Feeling all fat and jiggly sucks :

I'm "showing".  It's bloat, but it's bloat that doesn't go away and it's not bloat I normally have when not PG.  So in that sense it is caused by the baby.  I'm 12 weeks (almost) and this extreme bloat started about a week ago.

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.

It's bloat, and it will go away after a few weeks. I was super bloated with DS until around 12-13 weeks but I didn't look pregnant at all. It went away and then I started to show somewhere around 26-27 weeks.

This time at 6 weeks I looked like I did at 19-20 with DS but it went away and I still don't have a bump and don't look pregnant.

And here I thought bloating during pregnancy was caused by Progestrone and rarely has anything to do with how much you eat.

Not true, with slower processing of food and more of your metabolism going towards blood production and baby growing, the food you eat sticks around in your gut longer and increased appetite and what you eat all help to contribute to bloat.

It's not due to overeating, which is what the other poster was insinuating.

Slowed processing is more likely to cause digestive discomfort than bloat. But yes, what you eat can affect it, however 99% of your bloat at this time if caused by the increased progesterone and not what you are eating.

I have had periods when I was more bloated than others, especially in the evenings earlier on. Right now, though, at 11 weeks, my abdomen looks pretty much exactly like it did pre-pregnancy. Even when I'm bloated you can't tell when I'm dressed, it mostly just makes tight waistbands uncomfortable.

wow just because you're bloated it doesn't mean you're eating too much. I was hardly eating around week 7-8 and was still bloated. It's just a part of pregnancy.

Seriously? Uh, no. I couldn't choke down a full meal to save my life. I've lost 6 pounds so far, yet the bloat is definitely there. Just because we're bloated doesn't mean we're gluttonous pigs.

THIS. Just because OP and other posters are super bloated does not mean they are eating too much. Bloating during pregnancy is caused by hormones, not over eating.
