Your prolly bloated since at 12 wks the uterus isnt out of the pelvis yet. so its not "baby".
I looked as big as i am now at the begining bc i was bloated, now bloating has gone away and im just "baby" at 17 wks.
I just wanted to add that I know how you feel. I even researched this on line and it says that you can gain weight up t a much earlier with your second pregnancy. This being my 3rd I think that may be what is going on. I have a full blown belly already and only a week ahead of you. Our bodies have been througha a lot with meds and stuff too so it's okay.
I don't think you look huge at all; it's cute!! I'm at 9wks and I know with me I look bigger some days than others. I think there is a lot of bloating around this time in the pg.
It doesn't look huge to me. Is it your first or have you been pregnant before? Generally women will believe they look huge and to everyone there's nothing there just because they notice every detail different on/in their bodies. A lot of it is probably bloat and retention as well. Does it change in the morning versus night?
i am at 9 weeks and also used to having a flat stomach, it feels really werid to look in the mirror and see this pot bellied person with a missing waist. i definately feel like im showing although freinds say they cant really tell, i think when your so close to all the changes you really notice them, and i definately feel the bloating, mine does tend to go up and down depending on the bloat, but, it looks perfectly normal to me

hehe thank you.. makes me feel as normal as i can at this stage.. lol
It's cute!! You are not that big at all! I am 10 weeks as well, and I feel bloated half of the time, but I am starting to get a bump now.
