Starting to show or not?

Hi ladies, so I am 12 weeks, woooop woooop;) and have a slight belly. I am very slim and petit. What I want to know is this the baby belly or my bowls? I know that your bowls start loosening around this time in the pregnany..

I feel huge already. I don't remember feeling like this with my 1st. None of my clothes fit. I feel like it's too soon to put on the maternity pants. I'm feeling squished and miserable.

If you can suck it in, it's your bowels.

I'm 12 weeks... Can't wait for my bump. Everyone thinks I have it already, but it's just bloating and bowels. I never correct them, needless to say...

Yeah, it's primarily your bowels. I had the same thing. About 15 weeks that went down and my actual "belly" started coming in. Everyone is different, but either way it's baby related!

I have the same sort of thing going on. I think it is some of each. I had a bad stomach bug yesterday, so now I'm a bit smaller. No one would think I'm showing since it just looks like I'm a more average sized person
