I am a little bit overweight, and I was wondering how I can tell for myself if I'm pregnant. I've started having some of the symptoms, but not totally sure. If I am I am probably only about 4 weeks or so. What part of my stomach area will feel different? I want to kind of check, before I go get a pregnancy test.

I say just take a test, it would be way to early to tell any difference in the feel of your stomach. I am 7 weeks and mine is just now barely beginning to change, and that is only because this is my second baby. With my first my stomach didn't change until I was about 3 or 4 months along....and I too am a bit overweight.

So, the best thing to do is test, you won't know for sure any other way. Good luck!

the only way you can tell early on is to take a pregnancy test.

I agree, only a test will tell you at this stage. All of the symptoms that women have in early pregnancy can also occur just before AF so are really not reliable for deciding whether or not you are pregnant. It's so open to interpretation as well and so easy to convince yourself that you have symptoms, once you read what they are. So really, you wont know till you test. Hope you get the result you want!

i'm overweight too and my bump was noticable at 5months. but not totally noticable until 6months. at 4weeks your uterus hasnt even totally risen above your pelvic bone yet.
