8 weeks and showing

I'm 8 weeks and feel like I'm already showing. My jeans are tight around the waist and I couldn't suck my stomach in if I tried. This is my first pregnancy and I'm wondering it's possible that I'm showing already!

I was going to say what sweetangel and kele said.  Most likely it's bloating which makes your tummy bigger and your pants fit tighter.  I grew out of my pants pretty quickly too, but my tummy wasn't huge or anything!  

It's just your body's way of getting ready to accommodate baby as s/he gets bigger!

It could be bloating or thickening of your waist.  I wasn't showing at 8-9 weeks but wow my jens didn't want to cooperate anymore! I used Bella Bands and they are awesome!

To be honest, it is probably just some bloating...I had the same thing around 8 weeks and then one day around 11 weeks I noticed it wasn't so bad.  Bloating due to slow digestion and progesterone is very common.

I started showing that early too! It's completely normal.

Yeah it is possible. I have a friend who started showing at like 5 weeks. I wish that i started showing that early, im 26 weeks and 4 days and i just started showing around 18 weeks or so. But you're fine nothing is wrong with starting to show now. This is also my first pregnancy as well.
