6 weeks is pretty early, but you could just be bloated. I have a small frame and I was 10 weeks when I really noticed tightness in my pants.

Good Luck on your pregnancy!!

Mamalory, thank you!
Beautiful pictures!
I think that I just stopped exercising and gained weight too quickly. I am so hungry all the time...

Really??? Cause I'm six weeks too, and I have a little bump showing... That's gotta be one hell of a bloating, cause I've never had such a big belly showing from just bloating... And I'm VERY small, I'm only 5'3 and weigh about 94 pounds. Or maybe it's all just in my head and I'm not actually showing that much, I just wish I was.. Could it be?

most women will say it's being bloated. because if you look at this website and see how small the baby is at 6 weeks.. you'll agree with them

I'm 28 weeks today and you can't tell I'm prego. I saw a lady I used to work with on the 4th and she asked me how far along I was because I'm not showing hardly at all.. she asked me if I was 4 or 5 months.. and when I told her "no, i'll be 7 months on friday" her jaw dropped... so it all depends on your body.. but yes.. 6 weeks is too early for a baby bump.. unless of course your body is super dupper small... lol

this is another thing i think all depends on each individual. at 6 weeks i didn't even realize i was prego yet, but at the same time my pants were to small for me, bf kept saying i had a bump and i kept calling him a liar and saying it was wishful thinking on his part, that is til i realized i was late about a week later. fun fun, 3 weeks late and didn't even realize it, is that bad or what lol. talk about a month that i was really out of it. even with the baby being so small, there is more there than just the baby, and the smaller you are i think the sooner you will show. i was 85 lb before this pregnancy (i know, shut up chelly. and no i am not anarexic or balemic, for some reason my body just has a very high matabolizm. some people think it may be due to my overactive thyroid).

i'm not saying i am right, for all i know i could be wrong. but this is what i think.

I agree that everyone's body is different. Is this your first child? With my second pregancy I was showing very well at 7 weeks, and again with this one, i was showing at 6-7 weeks.

It all depends on the woman in my opinion. If your small with no room for a baby to actually grow, I think you will show early.

If you are really tiny when you get pregnant it is possible to start showing really early. Most people probably won't think it's a baby bump yet, but you'll know.

I thought I was showing at 6 weeks but then by 9 or 10 weeks I realized I had been REALLY bloate because I went from having a bump to absolutely nothing! I definitely wouldn't bust out the maternity pants yet!

well it really just depends on the woman.. I couldnt button my jeans at 8 weeks and had to start wearing sweats and stuff.. Now I am not in maternity pants just yet but I have been wearing maternity tops.. I asked my dr if everything was ok because I felt big so quickly and was basically told it depends on the woman. I have only gained about 4 lbs soo..BUT dont ever doubt yourself.. It is a horrible feeling to just feel like you are getting fat.. Be PROUD you are a MOMMA!

I'm six weeks-ish and i've got stretch marks already - ew. gained a little bit of weight but it's alot of bloating. i'm just glad i can poop again. altho i haven't been to the dr yet, my apt's not till the 24th so we'll see if he confirms the 6 weeks or says i'm farther.   congrats on your baby!

I started showing at 6 weeks. But, only my fiance and I could see it. No one else noticed or could really tell. I think a lot of it was bloating/constipation. To whoever said you're glad you can poop again, you're pretty lucky because I still cannot take a crap! Ugh it's miserable. But, I'm really short and somewhat thin (not as thin as I used to be) so I think that is why I showed early. Now it is definitely baby bump and I am 14 weeks.
