So, 8 weeks along in pregnancy so far. I'm starting to feel a titch better every day, but I've noticed the past few days that my stomach just looks huge already. Like I'm 4-5 months along. Now, I don't know if it's just being bloated or what, but pants aren't fitting right, and it's killing me to try to suck this belly in to hide from my coworkers.
Has anyone else experienced "showing" so early? I haven't told many people at work, and wasn't planning to anytime soon, but if this thing doesn't go away I won't have much of a choice. Sweatshirts and my fat pants only work for so long!!!

Time to get new fat pants!
With each child you show sooner, that could be why, maybe there is some bloating (do you need to use the toilet) though how much bloating could it really be? I would say pick up another pair of pants or 2 and a shirt that hides it more, atleast it is winter and you can wear layers to hide the belly.
If I didn't already pack away some of my clothes I would say you could find some pants in there but they are in a box in the back of the big van so I can't really get to them. Maybe you will get lucky and find some pants on clearance that will work.

What size-- I have y box set out ready to go to get donated---I have bigger pants. I am short so most stuff is sz 2 or 4. A lot of it is just bigger woman's size and not maternity. Some would be good for work. I had DD in Sept and had professional job that I got when I was 6 months preggers

I have smaller maternity stuff-- dresses, skirts that are maternity but don't really look it-- some are just bigger sizes

that would be awesome if you don't want it anymore. I'll be wearing a LOT of dresses throughout the summer.

My mom had twins 7 years ago and she didn't have an ultrasound until she was 20 weeks along. Had no idea she was having twins until then! She did get big pretty fast though.

When I got pregnant with my first I was about 125lbs. I had just gone out and bought a whole bunch of new clothes. I was about two weeks pg when I found out and two or three weeks later I couldn't fit into most of the new jeans I had bought! I was sooooo pissed. I think it is more noticeable when you have a small frame.

I started showing with ds 1 at 7ish weeks... and I'm about 7ish weeks right now and I'm starting to show a little too... some of it is def. baby fat that I could not lose from ds1, but some is def. baby belly!

I would say it is just bloating, but it's there all day long. And it's hard. and it hurts if i try to suck it in. guess i'll be pulling all my "loose" shirts earlier than i though. or just tell my boss.

DD1 I didn't start showing until I was 14 weeks. DD2 was around 7/8 weeks when we were in Louisiana going to tell family good thing because I was having trouble sucking it in the 2 days before telling everyone lol!

I would just tell them Amy, that way you can wear what you want and wont have to worry about people "speculating." It'd just be out there.
