Hi Girls,

Well I have taken the first photo of my tummy this morning at 6weeks and 5 days, according to my LMP. However when I found out I was pregnant I was very confused because we had hardly had sex that month and the 'period' that I had on 9th Feb only last 2 days and was quite light but I didn't think anything of it.

I am wondering if that could have been something else and we actually conceived in Jan. I am pretty sure I have been ovulating around day 14-16, but if we did conceive in feb the only thing that makes sense is if I ovulates extremely early, as in 1 or 2 days after my period!

What do you guys think? Sorry about the dodgy pjs!

If I have this concern should I ask for an early scan? I dont want to be having my first scan at potentially 14/15 weeks right?

I have never been pregnant before, but it does seem to me you look more than six weeks pregnant. I would call the doctor and explain that you are unsure.
 
I'm 10 weeks now but distinctly remember when I was between about 5 and 7 weeks I looked about 6 months pregnant. I was extremely bloated, could it be that? Now I just look fat. Can't wait for the bump to appear!
 
I looked like that arond then, I had some pre af podge, which never left! There's no problem with having your scan around 14-15weeks, it's a dating scan so they's clear it up, but if you are concerned, speak to your doc and tell them! They may be able to determine more by a blood test, as they would be able to see how much HCG is in your system. (although multiple births would produce more HcG as well) Or your doc may just tell you to wait until the 12 week scan anyway!
 
Thanks for the replies.

I guess it could be bloating but the shape of it seems so bump like! I have been quite gassy.

Gosh I never even thought about multiple births! haha yikes!

I always had a bit of a podge pre-pregnancy but it was definitely never that shape. I guess a call to my doctors wouldn't hurt..hmm.

:)
 
Sorry! did not mean it's deffo a multiple birth!

I was bloaty for ages, I was quite slim before so thought it was bloody obvious to everyone, but apparently not! And I am only expecting the one! Good luck. Keep up updated!
 
It looks more like bloat as thats what i look like from 6 weeks onwards lol,u still could be further along but like others have said if ur worried talk to doc
 
Don't worry-- it looks like that fantastic early pregnancy bloat!! That's actually what my tummy looks like right now at 4 weeks lol. First two babies I didn't how until 4 or 5 months but bloating to high heaven with this one!!
 
i look just like you - and i'm 6wks tomorrow. Jeans are tight, and i'm not sure i'llget to 12wks without questions. going into hiding i think
 
I was really bloated 4-6 weeks plus my bowels packed up for a good week which didnt help!!!! I look more normal now.....apart from the porn star boobs!!!!
 
This is me at 4 weeks..... I'll be six tomorrow and am even bigger (Sunday night is bump pic night!). It's just bloat, I had it with Ruby :)

I'm almost 8 weeks and I can only wear one pair of my jeans now. It's more bloat than anything but I can definetly tell my uterus is growing at a rapid weight. Under the bloat it's big and firm! Good luck to you!
 
I was about the same, really felt it pooched out last week, is this your first child? You are more likely to show earlier if its not your first.
 
Hey

wow my friend at 9 wks had same size belly as urs, think everyone shows at different stages some early and some late and some can even hide it til the late stages!!
Ive def got bloat but this is my 5th pregnancy and 3rd hopin buba!!! they say u start showin eary when not ur first as my firned with her 3rd looked 4mths preg when she was same as u, its so odd how bumps can start at different sizes and shapes.

Hope u hav a lovely pregnancie and hope u get answers with ur dates too xxx
 
Its most likely bloat. I was the same way around that time. If your short and skinny I heard you can start to show in 3 months instead of the 4-5 month range.
 
by the end of the night i can't hide my belly at all. but when i wake up in the morning it is more flat. i was pretty small before but gained an immediate 10 pounds. literally immediately. thank god it has stopped coming on. i was 119 for several years and i swear overnight i am 129. sooo depressing. but my dr thought i should gain a few pounds just because of my build i looked quite thin. i'm a curvy girl. i was shocked and elated to be a size zero. good thing i had some 2s and 4s laying around. i'm sure the other girls at work are having a ball thinking i am getting fat. i can't wait to have a pregnant belly and stop worrying about it. lol

forgot to mention i am 5"4.5' tall.
 
i wouldnt worry too much at the min hun, im 8weeks and mine is similar, but when i wake up its a bit flatter and then as the day goes on im huge ha. i know in my first pregnancy i got to 25weeks without even showing that much!

xxxxxxxxxx
 
Thanks for all the replies girls, I really appreciate it.

I think your right, its mostly bloat. When I wake up in the mornings it does seem flatter. I guess we'll just wait and see :)

I swear my boss has looked at me funny a few times today though! I didn't wear the most flattering dress today! hehe.
