I finally picked up a pair of maternity jeans and a couple shirts. When I came down the stairs a little while ago after changing, my husband went, "WOW! Look at you!" He said I was REALLY showing. I went to the dining room mirror and sure enough... holy cow! I mean, I'm not normally petite, but I don't think I'm ridiculously out of proportion or anything. I showed early with my other two pregnancies, but this seems excessive. My first appointment is tomorrow, and unless I WAY miscalculated my dates, I think I'll only be 5w2d. I KNOW this isn't nearly baby, but why in the world is my bloating so excessive? I look 6 months along. Anyone else experiencing this??? Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Please excuse the stems obscuring the view... I took this in the dining room mirror and didn't bother to move the vase.
