Showing?

So I'm a ftm currently 11+3 and wanted to know when u all had ur first child how early did u begin to show? I've always been skinny so I'm not sure if showing sooner is to be expected? I woke up this morning with what I like to call "a little beer belly". Is there a chance I'm showing too soon, most ppl I know began showing ~4 months? Just don't want to hear from my Dr next week that I'm gaining/showing too fast. Thanks in advance!

If you are showing before 12 weeks its strictly because you are bloated. Until 12 weeks baby and your entire uterus are tucked neatly behind your pelvic bone and can't even be felt.
