Where is your bloat?

Let me preface this by saying I know my baby is only the size of a pea/blueberry so I know I'm not showing. However, I don't feel like my bloat is down around my waist; I feel like it's more around my bellybutton and higher. I swear the area between my bra and bellybutton is what is bloated, now down by where my uterus is growing.

Anyone else feel this way or am I alone in the crazy? It almost feels like it did when my interal organs were being all shifted around as DS grew...but that didn't happen until later in the pregnancy.

I think I'm just crazy.

    My boobs are bloating!
    Not really gaining elsewhere.  I've actually lost weight even though I've been eating twice as much :(

    me too.  DH likes to put his hand on the most bloated part and I have had to sheepishly remind the little blueberry is lower not anywhere close to all that bloat :)

    I agree. My bloat is higher, too.  BUT to be fair, my tummy has never been flat and always looked a little, well, bloated ;(

    This is me too. And now that my bloat looks and feels higher than what it should, I'm worried I won't be able to keep this pregnancy a secret as long as I wanted to!

    My bloat is under my belly button, in my pelvic area. And there is an area between my hairline and about 1 inch above it that is now hard.

    I have always had a bit of a pudge...so I think that has something to do with it but I am bloating in the same way as you.

    Yes, the area above my belly button is totally bloated! I am 8wk4dys. Good thing it is right after Christmas...it looks like a came back with a bunch of holiday weight gain. Not sure how long Im going to be able to keep baby#2 quiet -- especially if I vomit at my desk (a close call yesterday).

    My bloat is all over my abdomen, but I still had a belly from baby #1, so that doesn't help, I also have a hard spot low down below my hairline..probably why I am wearing all Mat pants now.

    I'm 9 weeks and 2 days. A friend of mine was telling me that it's my uterus. Is that possible?

    THIS EXACTLY.

    I look like I need to go to the gym.  Flatish around my actual uterine area and a pooch by my belly button.  When I put my pants on this morning they felt tighter in my thighs/butt, too.

    I know what you mean! My bloat is definitely where it was last time, lower abdomen region. But I do feel like I'm bigger above my BB. Weird. I just want the bloat to go away like now!
