Belly, what do you think?

[Angela89]

My belly. Ill be 8 weeks according to my last period Monday. I go to my first doctor appointment Thursday. The first picture is when i wake up, it was 7 weeks 5 says. The second picture was taken in the afternoon at 7 weeks 4 days. People are saying i look further or they think it's twins. What do y'all think?

You may well be further along but you look like you're quite slim so you might just be showing a little more than someone who was my build lol x

 

[schmetterling]

I think you look great!

You look fab. Some people just show earlier.

Thanks! I wad only 117 lbs before getting pregnant. But i have always ate a lot & i would always get a belly when i ate & people always asked if i was pregnant. So now i am embracing it! Lol

Bloating is very common in the first tri. The hormones make your digestive system slow down and everything just goes haywire for a bit. You won't get a proper bump that prominent until about the 16 week mark, when your uterus will be halfway between your bellybutton and your pubic bone. At the moment, your uterus is tucked away tiny underneath your pubic bone and your baby is teeny. This is me around 8 weeks, I thought I was huge!

Now this is my real baby bump at 20 weeks, when the uterus reaches the bellybutton (taken almost 4 weeks ago so I'm bigger now obviously).

I agree with WantingABubba. It's just that lovely pregnancy bloat, lol. Right now baby is only about 1.6cm so not big enough to show yet. But they grow suuuuuper fast and soon the bloat will turn into a perfect baby bump!!

Yeah I knew most of it was bloat! That's what I keep telling people. Especially the second picture that's after eating all day.lol. But the first one is how I wake up everyday, that look never goes away.

It seems like the thin girls always get the "food babies". LOL! So cute though

Right now it's bloat, especially as this was taken within day or 2. I get really bloated by the end of the day too, it's like people said - hormones make all kids of crazy things happen. Don't worry, you'll get a proper bump by 20 weeks or so and it will be hard not soft like right now hehe

Oh my gosh I looked like that at 7 weeks, my grandma was horrified and so was I. I was beginning to wonder if it really was bloat, then around 9 weeks it flattened back to my normal slim build. Not fair, right? I guess we don't want to get huge right away because then what would we look like at 40 weeks??

Wow it's amazing how that happens You look great, congrats!

Haha. I looked that way straight away, all 3 times. All singlets for me. Hormones will cause the bloat from the moment you wake up... Water retention, mainly. It's a good thing, though. It is pre-stretching your skin a little so it can stretch more slowly during the pregnancy and help keep elasticity.
