I started getting a little tummy at 10 weeks and its my first pregnancy. I asked my doctor and she said its because you have 28 feet of gut, you're uterus is the size of a grapefruit and everything is shifting and adjusting plus the bloating. So its normal

Everyone is different. I didn't get a belly untill about 21 weeks and even then it was small and then it got a little more noticable at 24 weeks. I'm now 26 weeks and went from 120-134 pounds. Weight gain didn't start for me until 21 weeks.
You may be bloated. But try to keep your weight gain to a minimal until you get to about 20 weeks. Because if you gain weight in the beginning it is definately fat your gaining because the baby is still very very tiny!

At 9 weeks pregnant with my first child I was wearing maternity pants and tops (singleton pregnancy) mainly due to water retention. How soon you start to show depends on your body type and height. It is different for all people - but at 12 weeks your baby is just starting to rise above your public bone, alot of the belly you have is likely just water retention and bloating at this point.
What looks huge to you does not necessarily look huge to everyone else. Us moms-to-be notice these things more then others ;)

It's ok, it happens to a lot of people. It's most likely just bloating...which isn't fun! This is my first pregnancy and I first started really showing at 18 weeks - I woke up one morning and I was just HUGE. It was so weird! But I was just glad that people didn't just think that I was fat anymore. And now at 28 weeks I just keep getting bigger!

Hmm ask your doctor I have heard of some kind of disorder where your body produces more water than is needed, could be a problem. I dont know for sure so ask your doc. i didnt start to really show until 6 months.

my first pg I was big too! At 16 wks the NP was surprised I already felt the baby move and didn't believe me until she measured me. I was measuring big throughout my pg. maybe for you twins?

maybe you should stop eating crap and eat good foods.
your uterus is stull small and wont be the size of a grapefruit until another month or so. normal people don't start showing until about the middle of the 4th month or into the fifth. if you started out fat, it's just fat. otherwise your belly would still look the same but your hips would be bigger causing the need for maternity wear.

can be bloated, carrying multiples, or i've been told if ur uterus is more in the front it will cause u to show much earlier.
