Belly issues...

Why is my stomach already sticking out at 7 weeks pregnant? (not first child) I swear I'm not eating more but I feel like a whale. Help!!!

You're pregnant. Let it happen. There's nothing you can do to stop it. Second pregnancies or more, women tend to show earlier due to their womb already being stretched before. Who's to say you can't lose it all after you've had bubs? At the moment, enjoy it. You're pregnant, you're glowing, you're creating a new life!

When I was pregnant with my second pregnancy I was showing around 8 weeks, turned out I was pregnant with twins!!

I'm short in the torso so show really quickly. 2nd babies often show faster because your body is already stretched from last time. Don't worry about it.

You show a lot more after your 1st pregnancy. You will also feel baby kicked earlier as well. Very common

I also showed really early in both my pregnancies - generally by 4 weeks I started showing. I would refer to it as my 'cake belly' until it started rounding out later in the pregnancy, though I wasn't eating any more. Now is not the time to worry about body image, just enjoy the little miracle growing inside you :)
