Showing too early

So this is my 3rd pregnancy, tomorrow I will be 10 weeks, and I've always been smaller built and with my last 2 pregnancies I didn't really feel I was showing til close to 12 to 16 weeks. I don't know if it's bloating, constipation  (sorry for tmi) or if Im retain water already. I don't feel bigger anywhere except my protruding belly though, eating habits are about the same, maybe even eating less due to nausea. Could my due date be off? I feel weird showing like this so early, quite honestly I'm feeling fat. Anyone else start showing as early as 8ish weeks along?

We're on #3 too and I started showing super early too.  I feel like my organs just evacuated my belly and moved to higher ground.  Lol.  I feel way farther along then I actually am.  I wish there was a growth chart for women who agent first time moms, cause I'm pretty sure I'm bigger then those charts say I should be.

This is also my 3rd and I'm definitely showing early! It started around 7 weeks. I think I just pretty much look fat tho.

My belly also popped out super early (3rd baby as well) I think it's normal:) our muscles in our stomach are separated from previous pregnancies so it makes sense why you start to show earlier in each pregnancy

Well it can be due to bloating and also your uterus is double in size right now. It happens. All pregnancies are different i started my last one around 9 weeks but it mostly just made me look like i got fatter. Im 9 weeks now and i can see it again and im upset about it.
