gaining weight /thickening up

Hi Everyone! Since we're all about 6-8 weeks along, has anyone else noticed they've kinda thickened physically? I feel just all around bigger, I didn't think it would happen so soon. My hips and thighs feel fuller, my sports bra feels tighter in both the breast area and around the shoulders. I know gaining weight is inevitable, but is anyone else feeling this way this soon?

Oh meant to say I believe I have gained 4 lbs. With my 1st pregnancy I lost weight up until my 3 trimester.

I have definitely started showing and am already in maternity clothes.  When I talked to my dr. about this she said that it was normal for people to gain different amounts at different times.  It might also depend on your pre-pregnancy weight- I was a little overweight and trying to loose weight so I've thinned out in my arms and face but it's all gone to my tummy and breasts.

Oh man.. I really thought that this was far too soon too!

My breasts have definitely grown.. but yesterday DH put his hands on my hips and said that they've suddenly gotten wider!  sheesh.  just right above the hip bones too.. I've lost about 2 pounds in the last week, but this area seems to be thicker. I still have a flat stomach though.

I feel like my belly has gotten bigger - which is weird being so early still...  I still want to wear fun summer dresses while they still fit but they don't look so good with the belly!
