"Fat" or "bump" ?

Question

My hubby told me I'm fat...I'm 9 weeks almost 10 weeks and my stomach definitely grew. It doesn't look much like a baby bump yet but it's noticeably bigger. ..almost like I ate a bunch of food. He said baby is too small for it to be that. I can't help but cry! The rest of my body is the same as it was except I have swollen ankles...I'm like 5'7" and 145lbs ish. :,( am I alone in this? Anyone else have a bigger belly at this point?

Answer

It is a bit too early. But it's not fat- just bloat! Which is caused by the baby.

Answer

I chose "fat/bloat" but just want to clarify- I seriously doubt it's fat, most likely just bloating. It'll probably go down soon and then you'll wake up one morning with an actual "baby" bump!

Answer

Your uterus doesn't typically begin to rise out of your pelvis until after 12 weeks, anything before that is most likely bloat

Answer

You're not fat, the hormones from the pregnancy cause your stomach to bloat, my stomach is also noticeably bigger and I'm only 7 weeks.

Answer

Lol I'm a first time mom and I'm about in the same position as you...and I can't believe people are choosing fat...I just had a doctor appointment and asked my doctor about it and she told me your uterus grows from the size of a plum to the size of a grapefruit and many women start having small changes like that around this time. Don't sweat it...

Answer

No one else can tell you what's going on in your body, so don't listen to people saying you're fat. Everyone carries differently. Baby may only be the size prune but your uterus is much larger. It's not like a prune just sitting in your normal pre pregnancy uterus, its growing to accommodate the babies growth with a lot of room to spare.

Answer

I was noticeably bigger at 10 weeks but I just think a lot of it was bloating. Your uterus is definitely growing though!! Point blank, don't let a man try to tell you what your body is doing. He should be supporting you because this is a hard time to get through.

Answer

Tell hubby to shut his mouth! Everyone carries differently. I was bloated untill it went into my bump. You are perfect!

Answer

At 10 weeks your intestines and stomach are moving up to make room for baby. So he's just commenting on your organs and bloat.

Answer

It depends if this is your first baby or not. I currently have a bump because I'm on my 6th pregnancy with twins. It's clear I have something cooking in there because it get bigger every week. It's hard being so big this early because I used to be pretty lean and fit. Now I'm almost 140lbs and started at 123 😳
