My weight before pregnancy was 95 pounds, I'm 4ft9 and now I weigh anywhere between 106-109 pounds. I have been eating a lot more, trying to eat healthy as possible. The other day my MIL said I'm starting to show, I said to her I'm only 12 weeks and 3 days, I didn't think people showed that early on. So I told her she was delusional and that it's most likely fat from eating. But then other ppl said I'm showing. So how do you really know what's baby bump to just fat? I am now 13 weeks and 1 day.

I have the same dilemma! I'm 13 weeks 3 days. I've been very gassy and constipated since I got pregnant plus I've gained some fat in that area too so I feel like it can't possibly be a baby bump yet, but I definitely can't suck it in to a certain point and I've had to wear my jeans unbuttoned... I'm sure it will get more obvious in the next few weeks!

Same boat!!! Family have been saying I'm starting to show too but I always say it's just fat and bloat. I'm in a weird place because I feel like I don't have that cute round baby belly yet so I am shy to show my stomach but feel like I should be more proud of it. I've been trying to just let it all out (I too was seasoned at sucking in all the time)...which is probably also why people are commenting since I hid my belly fat from everyone!
I'm 5'3" and have a short torso and feel the same. I was slim, but not skinny, before baby but have gained at least 10 lbs (I'm 13 weeks) and I'm definitely popping. I have a little layer of fat which I attribute to the first few weeks of laziness and chips but otherwise it's hard when poked and impossible to suck in. I think us shortie short torsoed ladies are just going to show early.
I feel the same way. I'm 15 weeks and I've been having an on-going argument with my older sister who insists I have a baby bump but I can still suck 90% of it in. When I grab my belly fat and squish it to prove her wrong, she gets mad that I'm squishing the baby. I find it amusing :) But I cant wait till its solid
I am small as well- I started to see a bump around 11 weeks. I noticed it first, hubby said he couldn't see it.It wasn't until about 14 weeks when friends started saying u have a bump! I found when I was laying down I could feel a bump- that's when I knew it was baby and not fat.
I'm 4'11, petite but I got big butt and hips. I also have thick thighs. And the thing is, I'm just 4weeks pregnant right now and I really feel bloated already. My boyfriend says I'm already showing, but I think he's just too excited for it. I mean is it possible to have bumps in 4weeks? I'm having a hard time sucking it in though, unlike before.
hi im 5ft and I was 7 stone befor Xmas with a flat stomach now I’m 10w 2 days and starting two show Loren when i turn my body to the side but from the front there’s nothing there when I lie down my stomachs really hard to poke wen I sit up it’s medium and and when I stand up it’s hard I also go to the gym twice a week and if i suck my stomach in only the bottom bit sticks out could I be showing or bloat
