I'm about 5' 8'', and weighed 135 lbs before I got pregnant (people always told me I was alittle bit on the skinny side). I'm 8 weeks pregnant, and I've only gained about 2-3 pounds, but I already look like I have a little belly bump!!! I know women who have had multiple pregnancys show early, but this is my first. I never really exercised besides alot of walking, so it's not like I have strong, fit ab muscles to keep me from showing. But I have a noticible bump that resembles my tummy when I've eaten wayyy to much. And my hip bones arent as pronounced as they used to be. Could I really be showing already?

No you should not be showing at 8 weeks!!! I DELIVERED a baby 6 weeks before I got pregnant this time and started to show at 8 weeks! I'm also not sure you should be gaining weight this early also. It could be some bloating but I would really start watching what you eat or instead of 135 you'll end up at 235 before you know it. Pregnancy is not a "eat all you can of what you want card"- it's a time for gaining healthy eating habits and making mature choices about food. How will you be able to choose healthy food for your little one in the future if you don't do it now? And it's not even about your muscles yet because the uterus is still in your pelvic area and not in your tummy yet...you should be showing at 4+ months.

I'm also 5'8" and weighed 136lbs (now 139lbs) but showing at eight weeks was bloating not baby bump quite yet.
I'm 12.5 weeks now and I have a little bump when I wake in the morning but by evening had a large tummy due to bloating, food etc...
The best way to tell if you are showing is do you wake up in the morning with the same size bump you have in the evening? and is your lower stomach hard or soft? If its the same size and harder then its the baby bump showing. If its the opposite your bloated!!
Take a picture of yourself now (profile) and then another in 4 weeks time and so on and then you'll realise when the baby bump really starts.

OMG....Im a father of nine and have my tenth on the way. First of all 7 months is a crazy response. Listen, anyone who tells you no, you cant show at 8 weeks is not being truthful. Every womans body is different and if your pelvis is small and your frame is not very large, which it sound not, it is possible for you to have a little "pooch". It may not be very noticable to anyone but you but that is because its your body. Most woman start showing after or right at there first trimester... your almost there. Just four weeks from that is not much. Is it possible for some of it to be bloating... sure but you will know the difference. I have never known a woman to stay bloated for eight weeks and I have 13 sisters, 9 of which have had children. Not to mention my own group and my wife has never been bloated for that long either. Good luck and God Bless you.

More than likely just bloating unless it's twins ;-)
Around 4/5 months you'll look nice and pregnant.

no, its just bloating. You really will not show until 7 or so months.
