Your body knows you are pregnant and already knows what to do. Your bump isn't because of baby but is because of pregnancy. I get really annoyed by people saying it's impossible. This is my 4th pregnancy and my uterus is already gearing up. So yes it's a little bloat, and maybe not a "baby bump" but it's a pregnancy bump! Own it! ❤️ congrats! Wishing you the best!

Thanks for this! Im 5w6d today and yesterday caught a reflection of myself walking past a window and have a belly already too!! It was in the middle of the day and I wasnt feeling gassy/ bloaded like I tend to...still couldn't "suck it in". lol

I'm going with bloat. Plus I think a lot of women realize they're pregnant and unconsciously stop "sucking it in" all the time.

This happening to me and happened with my third pregnancy for the first time. And I'm a small person so I knew it wasn't just bloat. My Dr said the more babies you have the fast it will show due to your uterus.

I'm on the bloat boat myself lol unless you are carrying multiples you won't truly show this early - technically though you wouldn't have bloat unless you were pregnant so it is indeed a "baby bump" :)

This one feels different also! I have had two mc so I'm praying to God everyday!

Hey maybe so! I have one son (my first pregnancy) and a mc back in February - this pregnancy feels different to me than that one so I'm glad :) sticky baby dust to us!

I have had 2 mc before this pregnancy so maybe bloating way more then the last two is a good sign!:)

Do you have a before picture so we can compare? Looks like a baby bump to me. Probably a little bloat to go with it. I was actually more bloated at 4 weeks than I am at 5. Interested to see what 6 weeks will bring. Happiest 9 months to you.

Thank you it was very hard but I have to think of my baby as my angel now this is my 3rd pregnancy and I'm praying to God I'll carry it full term!

Oh sweetie. I'm so sorry. That's one of my fears. I couldn't live through that. Especially since I already have a daughter you imagine them being similar. I'm so so sorry.

Certain foods cause me to bloat more. I'm about 4 1/2 weeks and bloated too. But I have IBS and I've been crazy hungry lately too. I used to call it a "food fetus" but no more! 😄

All I do is eat!! I wake up to my stomach growling so much at night! :)

I think since the baby is super tiny at the moment that it's probably gas and bloat. I had the same thing and just started to go down around 7 weeks, just wear loose clothes if feeling uncomfortable.
