To soon?

Question

So before pregnancy I had a flat stomach. Then at 5 weeks I popped which I thought was just my uterus expanding..

But then 8 weeks and it looks like an actual bump.. I don't get an ultrasound till 12 weeks but my hcg levels were pretty high at 5 weeks so I might be farther along then I think..

Answer

Definitely just bloat, uterus hasn’t shifted up yet.

Answer

baby is like the size of a grape. it’s just bloating.

Answer

I didn't show at all until around 16 weeks. Most people couldn't tell until 20 weeks. Early pregnancy bloat can be extreme.

Answer

If this is your first it’s all bloat as baby doesn’t start to move up from behind your pubic bone until 12-16 weeks and even then most women don’t show until closer to 20. I’m 18w with my first and am just able to notice the beginnings of a rounded/hardened bump instead of just bloat. Others still say they can’t tell a difference in my appearance (some say they think I’ve gotten smaller) but only my husband and I️ touch/see this belly every day lol. Stay hydrated and you can somewhat control the bloat.

Answer

First trimester bloat can be crazy. I looked like that too and wasn’t any further along. Your uterus is still tucked back inside the pelvis. It doesn’t even reach the bellybutton until 20 weeks, but the bloat sure makes it look like it does a lot sooner.

Answer

It’s hard to tell until the dr measures the baby. There is also a fair amount of bloating that could account for the change in your stomach.
