6 weeks pregnant and big belly already!

[AmyMarie]

Hey juz poppin over from the 2nd tri group
I had swelling around my tummy too, as one of the girls said, its more than likely bloating at this early stage, wont be getting a real baby belly till the mid second trimester, mind you everyone is dfferent on which week they develop a tummy, and believe me it will littereally happen overnight!!! you'll wake up one morning and go WHAAAAAA hahahahahhahahahhaha xxx

omg i feel so bloated its gross! i feel so full after eating only a little bit and have to go for a walk after eating or i feel like i'll explode... my pants are so tight and when i drive i end up unbuttoning them!!

I keep being shocked by the fact that I have a bump too. Even while I was having my AF, my stomach has never looked like this while it's bloated. It's almost as if my stomach is somehow defined. Does that make sense? Good to know I'm not the only one!!

Oh mine looks awful! Like a great big jelly belly! I can't wait to at least have a proper hard bump! At the moment I just look like I've eaten too many
pies!!! It's far worse in the evenings!! X

SO and I went out for dinner last night and when I wasn't feeling nauseous from the grease on his food that he ordered, I ended up having to unbutton my pants because they were digging into me. It's like what someone said, I feel like I pigged out and am bloated from food but I haven't eaten all that much recently.

Hi everyone! I'm supposedly 6 weeks gone too- and my bump is getting really quite big and people are commenting on it already! I keep telling myself it's just the water and gas, but am starting to think I'm further gone than 6 weeks, or there's more than one little being setting up home in there! Glad to see others have a belly already! Good luck to you all! xx

I agree that at this point, it's still bloating. Sorry to tell you that (I hated it when people told me my emerging bump was only bloating). At 6 weeks old, your baby is the size of a sweet pea, or 0.25 of an inch. See this site:

I'm not saying you don't look pregnant. I was in maternity jeans by 12 weeks, because I was bloating loads, and after about 9 weeks I couln't do up my buttons anymore. But this early, the expanding of your belly can't be the baby, and unless this is your second pregnancy, your body is going to take a lot longer to stretch out. Even at 12 weeks, my baby was only 5.5cm. I'm a pre-pregnancy size 10/12, and I first started getting a proper baby belly at about 17 weeks, when the baby is about the size of an onion

hi iv got the same bloatedness i actually look like im 3-4 months. im a size 12 normally but now im getting size 14 ;O totally shock. i get so full up after small bites of food..i get out of breath after just getting up to the kitchen or to do anything small...i feel sick just by breathing and sooo soo tired.. im passing wind like theres no tomorrow and boy does it smell like someone has died(sorry to be crude) its just not like me, hubby says me and baby smell like a bin lol haha whoop whooop the joys of being pregnant

it is just bloatedness though..and even though it will go down you still will always be abit bloated(so im told my doctors) and your body will grow and sometimes feel uncomfortable xx

Can any of you more experienced pregnant ladies help? I'm six weeks pregnant and when I let my stomach go, it's massive! I reckon a look a good few months gone already. Is this because things inside have grown and stretched ready for my developing baby? If I breathe in it looks pretty much normal again. Help please! xx

I am 6 weeks pregnant also & im having the same symptom. I look like im 5 months prego & i am very tiny usually. Its worse at night before i go to bed but in the morning its kinda back to normal. I worry alot because this is my first pregnancy & i didnt even think i could have babies in the first place so it was a big shock. Ive taken 4 pregnancy tests and they all have said poitive. I still have a little trouble believing it tho. I hope that doesnt make me sound bad. I just want to keep taking more & more pregnancy tests. I still havent had my first drs appt. yet but i went to a pregnancy clinic here where i live. Thats how i know im 6 weeks pregnant there test came up positive also. Is it normal to have doubts that your pregnant in the begining?? Even after 4 pos. prego tests? What do you guys think. I read on the internet that false positives happen sometimes but arent common. Could it be possible that i had 4 false positive pregnancy tests? Can you tell im a nervous reck..

No its not possible unless you have cancer and that is setting the test off, which is highly unlikely!!! Congrats! I went to my doctor the day after I got my bfp, and mentioned something about I wasnt sure if I was pg because I hadn't taken a test since the morning (and he knew I found out the day before), and he laughed and said "you've taken 2?" and I said, "no, i've taken 13" I took at least 3-4 a day until 6 weeks, where they started to get lighter, and I would have to dilute my urine to get them dark. I know i'm crazy but it is my first and I was afraid it was going to disappear lol! And my stomach swelled up by 6 weeks. I am bloated and constipated and I can't wait til I'm further along so it is filled with baby!! Enjoy your pregnancy!

I'm barely 6 weeks, less than that if I count by ovulation day and I'm seriously bloated, but don't feel so bloated, but I look it. I know this is an old thread but I just wanted to say it's helped put me at ease.

I'm just over 6 weeks, stomach is bloated and I have a hard bump already. I'm hoping it's twins as they run both mine and OH family. I have 2 new stretch marks that I got a couple of weeks ago too.. Time to get the bio oil on the go.
