This is my first pregnancy and I am not saying I am big enough that people would notice, but my belly is popped out. To me and my husband it is really noticeable.
I feel like I really want to hide it though because most people seem to think this is really abnormal.
I know that every woman is different but it is still frustrating to feel like most womens bellies dont show until they are 4 or five months pregnant and women can be so judgmental.
How do I expalin my popping belly?
any positive answers are warmly welcomed.
Thank you

I started showing at about 8 weeks- that's when my trousers and jeans stopped feeling comfy. It's more than likely bloating and water retention, so don't believe anyone who tries to tell you that you are going to have twins or more...I only had one, even though my mom was constantly trying to make me believe that I was having twins- like I'd believe her over the ultrasound that CLEARLY showed only one baby!
Explain it by saying you are growing a new human, and that you have to expand in order for this to happen. It's more common than you think to 'show' early.

I started showing early with all 3 of my pregnancies and now I still have a pooch from my third who is 19 months old, so not sure how I will know when I start to show.
You are far enough along that you would start to show. I think it is abnormal for someone not to show until 4 or 5 months along. Shoot - at 5 months I always look like I am 8 months. Enjoy this and don't let anyone tell you anything different.
Good luck.

I no this is so different having this happen to you then when seeing someone else.I am sure there is nothing wrong. I mean every womens body is very different. I was showing my self when I was like 12 weeks. I was evening having milk from my breast when I was 4 months. So I mean dont feel weird about it. Being pregrant is sopose to be something beatiful.
And answer to your question is you should not have to explaing to anyone why your belly is popping out. Your pregant I mean they should understand that your PREGRANT

Well honey i wouldn't worry to much about your belly showing it's cute and there is something precious inside of you - also it could be that you are having multiple births it happened to me i showed or atleast felt that i showed at 6 weeks then again since you and your husband know that you are pregnant only you guys can see the change in your body congrats and good luck !

I would´t worry about your belly I would be over joined that fact your both going to have a baby , why do you worry about other people´s opinion´s enjoy your belly , when you feel your baby move inside you are you going to worry what people think then as well Sorry don´t think I´m being rude but there are many women who can´t have children in this world , so I would say your lucky . I have 2 children & my belly never worried me

This period of time sucks to be prego, because you are so tired and you just look and feel fat! I remember those days, when nothing fit except your sweat pants! Hang in there it's totally normal! In a few weeks you can start wearing maternity pants with the small elastic waist band.
Also, if you plan on having more than one child I would suggest investing in a few nice pair of jeans.

I agree...it could be twins or you're just one those Mom's who's baby is developing at an alarming rate. If you're only carrying one, you may not have any weight gain or your belly may not grow much at all during your second trimester. Then, in your third you will grow again. Some Mom's are like this, especially during their first pregnancy. I know I was!

when i was 12 weeks my belly was very big i actually had to wear maternity clothes because the regular clothes wouldn't fit. i got a lot of people that told me that i might be having twins but as a matter of fact i had one baby and he was less than 6 pounds. my mom told me that when u are very skinny and have no stomach at all that's why it is shown so early. be proud and good luck

I am almost 13 weeks and i have a little bump.... only again only me and my hubby really notice it.... but it is there... around 10 weeks i felt like it was a bump but i think most of it was just that i was bloated. don't worry about it ..... every woman is different.... are you small framed? that could be a big part or like everyone else has said.... you may be have twins... (scary!)
good luck! and hey, its not bad to be showing! your PREGNANT! congrats!

I was in maternity clothes by 3 months. Some women just show earlier. You could also have a multiple birth.
