Hehe curious what tracker you're using!! I've always had like 2 layers of fats on my abdomen LOL so I honestly also wondered...at week 6-8 I definitely felt my truncal circumference went up already. I also didn't have the strongest core muscles so maybe as the water bag grew everything else was getting pushed out a little too maybe. Sometimes it depends on your size. I'm like 155cm and 50kg at baseline with a disproportionately short torso so I always knew I would show earlier than usual. Ha ha ha. Now at almost 11 weeks I'm not like having a baby bump that most people say, but my waist is slowly gone and clearly the abdominal area is more protruded. I wouldn't be too worried at all since it's just..body growth and changes :) Anyway if you're...like me a little anxious about whether we are putting on too much weight that we shouldn't be and it's showing.. 1-2kg weight gain is also more than OK in first trimester - especially if there's been more fatigue etc. so we move around less. We're all different and we'll do our best to have balanced diet and exercise when we are feeling up to it! :) Congrats again, am a FTM too so like really learning along the way. Take care :))

IMO, week 6 is rather small thou. Your body size and number of pregnancy plays a part too 😊 Mine showed around week 22 (slightly) and I managed to hide my pregnancy till 8months wearing oversized clothings 😂

I’m quite petite but it’s my first pregnancy. I don’t usually wear very loose clothes and it’s showing a tummy. Like too full after meals kind. Getting tough to hide

At week 10, it’s not showing but I can feel my shorts getting tighter on the waist, like perpetually too full from a buffet 😅

Same. I usually wear tight fitting clothes and it’s getting so obvious. Even at week 7.

I am at week 15 and i am just feeling fat more than pregnant everyday. 😂
