I didn't start really showing until I was around 20 weeks and I'm also short
This is normal they call it water "weight " lol
Well I'm 8 weeks 5'4 around my 6 week I noticed the same thing . Bloating cramps n a lil stomach bulge. The stomach bulge is not your baby bump its 9xoutta10 from the bloating.. every bodies different but some don't get a baby bump til 16 to 20 weeks which is 4 to 5 months...
This is my first as well n I was over thinking a lot of stuff too. Good luck n hope u have a awesome pregnancy
you'll look and feel bloated for a while before you start showing. completely normal.
