Q: Looking very pregnant for only 10 weeks. Thoughts please.

Hi ladies I have posted my photos in the baby bump gallery under 10 weeks. I have an 8w and 10w next to each other to compare. What has made me blow up like this so early on. I had an ultrasound 2 days ago and I asked about fluid and she said no none seen on the u/s that indicates why I am looking so popped out at this super early stage when bub is only like a grape.
I never showed with my daughter until 20w and never went into maternity clothes.
I have been having my sugar levels checked weekly and they are okay, I am eating ok, the odd dessert and chocolate but not a lot of fast foods or junk food and no fizzy at all or juice only water and milk. I do drink about 1-2 glasses of milk a day.
Any thoughts, couldn't find much on the internet.
I had to change 3x for church this morning to hide it, annoying, not going public till 12 weeks as 4 m/c's this last 12 months although I am the furthest I've been.
Love to hear your thoughts ladies x

Hey hun. Although it is common to pop earlier with a second child you may find its bloating caused by a sluggish bowel. Although some foods can aggravate bloat it's not normally diet controlled this early on.
That whole area is on a 'relocation program' as your uterus grows and the hormones in early pregnancy make the whole digestive system slow down causing you to bloat up, this can be especially noticeable if you don't have good stomach muscle control.
I bloated from about 6 weeks and then had a few weeks of deflation before the rounder baby bump came in.
You may find you don't go down but instead bump catches up.
I agree its a pain to hide especially when you are not ready to tell anyone so creative dress decisions may be in order till you're ready, not far to go though x
Hope this is of some help hun
