First trimester belly fat?

in 1st Trimester
I'm an average size...5'8" and about 135 lbs. I'm currently 5 weeks pregnant and I've got this layer of belly fat that seems to have come out of nowhere since conception. I certainly didn't start out rock solid in the abdominal area, but this excess jiggle is just foreign to me and really quite  aggravating. Is this normal so early in pregnancy?

    Yup, assuming you mean you have bloat.  That was my first symptom.

    Okay, whew! So even though it may look like a giant flab of fat, it's probably the normal amount that I had to begin with...but with baby bloat behind it? I'll take it. Thanks!!

    Ahhh...the jiggle.  At least it's only in your stomach.  I became aware of jiggle in the rear one morning when I went for a run and the jiggle actually kind of hurt during the run.  Hee hee.  MIL also likes to point out my little pudge everytime we stop by their house.  Oh the joys of being pregnant.  Hee hee.

    Oh yes, it better be a symptom because I have it too! I work out at least 5 times a week, including 3-4 days of weight lifting and I could NOT get over the icky chub around my middle OR the surface layer of cellulite that  parked right on my legs and butt. Boo! No

    I have it too. :-(  For the past few days, my bloat literally looks like a baby bump!  After I eat I suddenly swell up to look like I'm 4-5 months pregnant.  It's crazy!!

    I'm glad it is normal. LOL I'm big to begin with but was like "where did all of THIS come from ?"   I'm glad I'm still on summer break it's been pj pants, sun dresses or hippie skirts. I'm going to be sad when I have to go back to dress pants and heels went school starts.

    I am the same size and people at my work think I am showing early.  I finally had to tell them no it is just major bloat lol.
