5 1/2 weeks and I'm already showing!

What does this mean? Is that normal to be showing that early? I was hoping to hide it from work until I was out of my first trimester but that doesn't look like it's going to happen. Anyone else ever have this problem?

Im also 5 1/2 weeks. It's called bloat. Your not showing. The baby is the size of an appleseed, there's nothing to "show". It will go away and come back.

LMAO, honey you aren't showing. Your baby is the size of a blueberry. You uterus is still tucked way behind your pubic bone. Its all wicked gas and bloat. Take some Gas X, fart and a good poop. Your "bump" will disappear.

See the purple dot marked "8"? That's 8 weeks and you are 5 and change.

Wait, is it a grain of rice, an appleseed or a blueberry? lolz

You are not "showing" - you are bloated.

The uterus is behind the pelvic bone until at least 12 weeks, and your baby is the size of a grain of rice.

However, this early on it is not uncommon to bloat up with water weight.

Msspeedy, I love the Sheldon gif in your siggy.

Is not really showing the little baby is tiny like a mustard seed (i think), it's just bloat. I'm 5 weeks as well and I have a round stomach which is not normal for me, I'm trying to suck it in but it's not working lol

I've been at work, so I haven't been able to reply..

Sorry if I came off stupid to you guys, this is my first pregnancy and I haven't been to the doctor yet so I don't understand what's going on.

It's really hurtful that I came to ask questions and I get hateful responses. I'm not an idiot and I don't like to be treated as such.

I think this will be the last time I post here. I am hormonal and sensitive enough as it is right now without people being like this towards me.

Good luck to all of you.

You will find a lot of that here.  Sorry you were made to feel stupid.    People should be supportive.  You do have bloat.  But that could have been said without sarcasm and attitude.  Good luck to you.  There's A LOT of great websites out there that lay all the info out for you...week by week.  Including The Bump!  You can google "pregnancy week 5" and go from there.  If you ever have any questions, your OB should be happy to answer them.

Boobs is one thing. With my first  I went up a cup size right away but wasnt noticiably pregnant until about week 22ish.
