Well this is my first baby and I popped out at 5 weeks too, maybe even earlier. I think the reason is that I have a long cycle and so I already spend the last few weeks before my period is due looking bloated... and then of course didn't have my period so I have remained bloated. And I mean really showing - people have noticed.

I mean, my mum kindly pointed out to me that I had a bit of a belly anyway (it's where I put weight on), but I'm already undoing buttons when I sit down etc. and feeling trousers I used to wear comfortably now cutting into my tummy and making me feel uncomfortable. So you are not alone! And incidentally, after a threatened miscarriage recently my scan showed everything was fine. I'm sure everything is fine with you, too.

It's very hard hiding a pregnancy though when you are already popping out - especially from work (new job)!]]> Fri, 20 Mar 2009 12:05:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=640744&title=i-have-a-belly-already#640744 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=639347&title=i-have-a-belly-already#639347 Author: busymum

I had this with DD3 and did end up bigger in the end... it seems to be "muscle memory" (your muscles remembering what to do)!]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 20:14:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=639347&title=i-have-a-belly-already#639347 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=639328&title=i-have-a-belly-already#639328 Author: SharonG

I was convinced I was showing at about 7 weeks, and felt huge, but things have settled down a bit now and I can still wear pre-pg pants (just!).

I think you get alot of bloating early on, mine has settled down now.]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 19:12:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=639259&title=i-have-a-belly-already#639259 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=639229&title=i-have-a-belly-already#639229 Author: kebakat

One of my friends was definitely showing at 6 weeks, though a lot of it could have been bloating. ]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:06:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=639013&title=i-have-a-belly-already#639013 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=638947&title=i-have-a-belly-already#638947 Author: jjands

Thank you hope, I have actually just booked an appointment with the Obstretricain I am going to use, he said he will check me over and give me a scan - I was just worried that there is someting wrong

I was speaking to the nurse at my doctors and she was adamant that you should not have a "descended" belly this early so she did not make me feel any better

Hi YvetteandElla, everyone told me that I wouldn't show until 3 months. However every single one of my colleagues (even guys) had guessed my secret by the time I announced it at 13 weeks. My tum was a little puffed up at 5 weeks, but I think some of that could have been gastric bloating as pregnancy has done some funny things to my digestion.

I am 36 weeks now and have the biggest bump at antenatal. I think this a combo of having quite narrow hips so bub has to stick right out the front and also, I have been told he is large.

You don't sound abnormal to me. I remember thinking that I surely couldn't already be looking preggy at 5 weeks!]]> Wed, 18 Mar 2009 13:49:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=638915&title=i-have-a-belly-already#638915 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25296&PID=638904&title=i-have-a-belly-already#638904 Author: YvetteandElla
