I've heard when it's your second or more pregnancy, you "show" alot sooner. My OB said it's like a balloon.. after you blow up a balloon and deflate it, its stretched out and next time it blows up easier and quicker. it's probably just "stuff" spreading out inside of you.. your uterus has grown, though not a whole lot, and it does push whatever's in front of it out a bit, plus a lot can be bloating which is very common, especially if you're dehydrated, which you may be from all the m/s. Our bodies can be very efficient too, so though you may not be getting much food down, your body knows to start storing up the fats, nutrients, fluids it will need for the baby.
I have the same thing.. I've definately lost some weight, but my belly is definately there and has been for a month. obviously not all baby at just 10.5 weeks, but it's definately from being pregnant, so I say go ahead and enjoy it
