Can I ask a silly question??

[Tasha18]

I have been pregnant before but didn't continue with the pregnancy, I was 8 weeks when I aborted the baby.
I am only 5 weeks now but in the last week my stomach seems to have grown I now have a little pouch down at the bottom. It's never been there before. I have quite a flat belly so was suprised how blown up I've become. I know I am not bloated as I know what this feels like
I know it can't be a bump growing already but could it be due to the pregnancy??

Sorry for such a silly question

It's not a silly question. At this stage it most probably is caused by bloating which is really common in early pregnancy because your uterus is still so small and tucked in your pelvis. It won't start to rise out will about 12 weeks. Even so as it grows it pushes everything else up so not all of your bump will be baby anyway.

If you are sure it's not bloating though then maybe you're a little further that you think because 5 weeks is very early.

im thinking that if you are sure its not bloating, yeah...you might be way further along than what you think

Most people are bloated in the first trimester. It's probably that

Thanks for all your replies, I also seem to have stitches in my side all time is this normal?

I'd say bloating aswell either that or like the others have said your further along x

Bloating most likely, I definitely filled out in the first 5 weeks+ and yes the stitchy feeling is normal.
