weight question

So I'm about 8 weeks and I have gained weight on my belly but its not the typical baby bump shape. I had a small belly before so is it normal to seem just a bit fat at first. I hope this doesn't sound weird I'm just self conscious about it because I was not at all over weight but not where I wanted to be.

Thanks I was like is this normal because I just felt fat but I have not been over eating and I have been exercising. My husband pointed it out not trying to be mean but now its driving me crazy. :) I feel so much better hearing that.

definitely normal hun ur belly doesn't pop till 15-25 weeks usually so the beginning is known as the "Bloated/Fat stage" lol ull have a bump soon and feel so much better. If it takes a lil longer than usual u can always get a belly band at kmart walmart anywhere to help smooth out any little lumps and help round it out :) congrats on baby
