Bloating or Not?

satuttle1014 · January 2017

I am a STM and noticed that I have a tiny bump. With my first I was bloated so I had a bump in that way but I don't feel bloated at all. Maybe it is bloating but I'm not really noticing it. I actually took a test because I noticed my tummy was not as flat as it was. I am 4 weeks 5 days today, could it be a little bump from having a baby before? I didn't know if it was way too early to see anything, maybe I'm crazy or what..... lol

I'm sure it's just bloat! Apparently we'll show earlier than our first pregnancies, but still too early to be showing. Baby is just a tiny speck in your uterus at this point. Sometimes when I'm bloated it feels hard.

soon enough you'll be showing for sure!!

I definitely have a small pouch, had it with my second too. My stomach didn't get as big as I did with my first but I did show sooner and faster. Lol it might be bloat but I don't remember it ever going down...

I'm also bloated! But I think this topic would go brilliantly in the symptoms thread

Had a feeling it was bloating since it definitely seemed early to see a bump. I'm glad I don't feel it like I did last time.

I'm a STM, 3rd pregnancy. I'm 5w5d and I just started feeling super bloated a few days ago. I started showing much sooner with my 2nd pregnancy but definitely not this soon. Everyone is different though.

I am so bloated! I looked like a I was 5 months pregnant by the end of yesterday.

The bloat. I hate the bloat. Look huge by the end of the day. I know it's not baby but I kinda want it to be baby. TTM when did you start showing with your second pregnancy?

I am 4+2 and definitely bloated. I wish I could blame it all on baby belly.

Definitely bloated, but it comes and goes. Today, my wedding ring wouldn't fit

Not sure if this was towards me or someone else. I'll put in my 2 cents. I started showing at the end of 1st trimester, I wanna say 11/12 weeks? I'm not skinny though, I've always had a "pouch/pooch" so I don't know if that made a difference. And I have a pretty short torso.

It's the dreaded blump, I'm afraid. The uterus (and therefore baby) isn't big enough to go above the pelvic bone before about 12w. I look about the same as I did at around 18w with DS. I'm tall, so that means the blump is definitely noticeable, but not huge.

MyNamesTaken · January 2017

With my second pregnancy I started noticing an actual bump at 12 weeks. It also started feeling firm instead of just fat. I haven't started the bloat too much yet but it's definitely coming

juliebeannn · January 2017

OMG that BLOAT!!! I'm 6w2d and I look about 4-5 months because of the bloat. I'm so nauseous, so I'm not eating much so it's definitely just the hormones.

maryleffue · January 2017

I am seriously so bloated too!!! I'm 5w5d and my tummy looks so big by the end of the day. Even my husband agreed when I pointed it out. (I think he was afraid to say it until I brought it up. Lol)

eahayes · January 2017

I don't know if I'm bloating or just getting fat because I have to rest from the gym. Prob fat, because I'm also eating everything in sight.. FML.

cnf2013 · January 2017

I woke up more bloated this morning then I was when I went to bed last night. I legit look as big now at only 4+6 as I did at 20w last time. Sigh.

So much bloat, ugh. It's funny how I couldn't wait for my stomach to pop with #1 and this time it's annoying me. My work pants are snug. It doesn't help I gained 5 pounds right before I got pregnant. Cutting back breastfeeding made me gain weight instantly:(

An infinity scarf just hanging plainly around my neck is my BFF. It camouflages bloat and early 2nd trimester bump.

I am wearing all the tunics this week, with control-top leggings. (Nothing too tight, just a little slimming.)

ashley2824 · January 2017

I've been wearing only flowy shirts or black and I just ordered a belly band for pants because my jeans don't button already ughhh

msashley2010-2 · January 2017

Oh man. My SO asked me yesterday if I'm "showing" now. I'm like.... nope. That's either fat or bloat!

msashley2010-2 · January 2017

I did die a little inside!!! With my first a stayed teeny tiny until 6 months. Now at 7 weeks I look like I've been haunting buffets every day.

Emeraldcity · January 2017

It's likely bloat. This is my 4th pregnancy and I'm sure the bloat will have me looking like I'm entering 3rd tri by the end of first tri. Also, your abdominal muscles are already "stretched" so your abdominal wall will relax and let it all hang out which also contributes to a bigger bump sooner.

@Msashley2010 "haunting buffets" I just about died
