I am so big!

Hi there,
Estimated to be about 8 weeks (my first scan to confirm is Sept 14th) but I have such a big belly already. I have a friend who is 5 months pregnant and I'm the same size as she is. Is anyone else having or had this happen? I feel even if I am 12 weeks, I am too big.

I felt I was huge at 8weeks but I was just very bloated and constipated. I'm now 11 weeks and belly has gone down abit, But I still get very bloated towards the end of day so often can't do buttons up on trousers after lunch

It's probably bloating... it will go down in a couple of weeks. I had a huge "bump" at 6 weeks that turned out to be bloating. Even my midwife looked at me gone out when I said I was only 6 weeks

The growth might be caused by bloating. Our organs are starting to get moved up from our uterus' growing.
