Baby bump @8weeks?

[pol79princess]

Hello ladies,
I've just peeked into this forum from the fertility one where I'm a regular :) I figured this question would be more appropriate for this forum, though: Is it possible to be already showing a baby bump @8 weeks? I'm not sure if what I'm looking at is my baby bump or just bloating or something else? When I try to "suck in" my stomach, it still stays bumpy. I'm 5'6" and weigh 120 lbs. Time for maternity clothes or more Gatorade (helps reduce bloating). Thanks :)

I agree with Ashleen- Pregnancy induced bloat. It probably isn't going anywhere either.

I started showing at 6 weeks with this pregnancy (my 5th preg) and I usually do around 7-9 weeks. My bloat never goes down so relax, get some comfy pants and enjoy being preggers. Some people take until 16 weeks to 'show'.

Well see here's the thing..I agree with Brittny it's probably bloating but in my opinion bloating in the first trimester is a part of the pregnancy experience...so it's technically bump. it may not be swollen uterus but it's swollen belly! hehe :) congrats on your pregnancy

Most likely it's bloating. I had a ton of bloating and started showing almost instantly.
