All women and all pregnancies are different. Don't judge yourself by others you see around you. Talk with your doctor. They will let you know if you are gaining too much weight too quick or your body is just adjusting quickly to pregnancy - doing just what your body is supposed to do adjusting to fit a little person inside you!

Hey sweetie, dont worry one bit. When i was pregnant early on both with my daughter and this pregnancy i was showing. Particularly with my first. Could be progestorone adding to the bloating. But remember, at 12 weeks, you have a lot going on in there and you may start to show. It depends on your muscle tightness too. Dont worry, you will get in proprtion in your pregnancy i am sure. I think it is a good sign of a healthy baby. Have you had your first scan yet to check there isnt more then one baby in there? I am 5ft 1 and with my first girl i was huge, went round and weight was hard to lose. It took me 2 years! Now 35 weeks with a boy i am a maternity size 12 but managing to stay more in proportion so exercising and post baby weight i hope will be easier to combat. You may be lucky and not put weight on anywhere else! I think as long as you watch your food intake and stay active you will be fine. Lots of fruit and veg and water i say!! :) Congrats on your little baby!! x

How soon you show depends on your body structure and how you "carry" the baby. I carried my son allllll out front and showed immediately, so by the time I was 3 months pregnant I had to buy maternity jeans. I wasn't fat, a little curvy, but not fat by any means. (size 10) It wasn't fat, since the pooch was hard, LOL.
I loved my baby belly and loved when maternity shirts finally looked like maternity shirts on me (and not just oversized shirts, haha)

In my experience, the smaller you are the earlier you show with a single baby. Is it possible you're having twins?
I'm not skinny, and I didn't really look 'pregnant' with my son until around six months. This time around, I'm having twins, and I started showing at eight weeks!!
I would strongly suggest talking to your prenatal care provider. They should measure your uterus at each appointment, and if you are measuring large, they should order an ultrasound to check to multiples.
Good luck!

Honey, I was 9 weeks pregnant when someone at work saw me getting changed and asked how far along I was because she could see my bump!
Everyone shows at different times, and I don't think putting a bit of weight is a problem, you are pregnant. Embrace your new body shape!

I am only 5 weeks and I look like I am 5 months. I have always had a bit of a beer belly (they called it). My upper belly is bigger than my lower.
I reckon show off the belly and be proud. At least if someone asked if you are pregnant you can say "Yes" and this time mean it :)

I weighed only 100 pounds with my first preg. I started showing at around 8 weeks. You prob. are starting to show.

What you might be seeing is that your balance is shifting. Pregnant women stand and walk differently than non-pregnant women. I remember that I was 3 months pregnant and thin and a woman in a store asked me when I was due. I was shocked!!! It was really that balance shift only, not that I was particulalry showing.

you are not crazy. i have had 2 kids and the last one i had felt it above my belly.. it can mean a lot of things.. i had a boy so you might have a boy too. if you are getting bigger in tummy only... you are gonna have a boy, if you are getting bigger all over it is a girl.. you can tell a little at 12 weeks.. dont worry about what you look like... just think it is a healthy baby inside you. and congrats... you will love being a mom.

I started showing around 3 months. Every one is different
