Does your tummy bulge yet???

[Jodie82]

I'm 5wks 3days pregnant, 1st pregnancy & my tummy is already looking bigger!

I'm 167cm tall and weigh 60kg - I am wondering how the hell my stomach could be poking out there already when I'm relatively tall, have a long torso and relatively fit as well! To those who don't know me, I wouldn't look pregnant - just a bit pudgy around the tummy!

When the baby is only like 2-3mm.... I just don't get how my stomach could be pokey already. My mum keeps saying "you might be having twins!" Geez I hope there's just 1 bubba in there or I think I'd die! Hahahahaha.....

So if the baby is only 2-3mm in size, how big would the placenta be?

I've been quite constipated, so I'm wondering if it's my bowels shifting within my tummy & that's what the bulge is..... so attractive..... hehehehe... not really!

Is anyone else around 5-6 weeks and showing yet?

I started bulging at 5 weeks too but it was only fluid building up and swelling ........... dont worry it will either go away (like mine did) or it will stay that way until you really start showing. DH and I started noticing a little difference at 9 weeks and others didnt start noticing until I was about 14 weeks. I'm 23 weeks now and some people are shocked when I tell them I'm pregnant.

Hi Jodie
It could possibly be just bloating, it is a common sympton in early pregnancy.
I was bloated up until around 10 weeks where myself and DH started noticing that my tummy was starting to change shape.
It's only been these last few weeks that I've really started to noticeably show, anyone who knew me could tell from around 18 weeks, however it's only now that strangers are starting to look at my "bump".
I suppose I'm really not that big for 24 weeks
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy and enjoy having a little tummy, trust me!!

im 6 weeks and im kinda showing, but thats because im bloated a lot!!! There is no way i could be showing as much as i am bloating for my first pregnancy and only 6 weeks into it...so thats probably what it is

Just coming to 12 weeks and I can see a different shape and bigger tummy, haven't bought any maternity stuff yet but I reckon I will need new tops soon!

This is my 2nd one so they say you show 'earlier' too....
