Why Does My Body Do This To Me? Does Yours?

Okay, so as you can see I am only 4+ weeks along. But it seems like the minute my body figures out I am pregnant, my stomach pops! I look like I am 4mths PG!! It didnt do this with my DD. But the minute I was PG with my son, there's the bump! And with the baby I lost in April, immediately, there's the bump! I don't mind it as it makes me feel pregnangt, but it's kinda hard to hide the fact that you are PG when you have a bump at 4wks! Hahaha! I put on a tight shirt this afternoon and DH said, "Um, hun you cant wear that over to your moms house. I looks like your pregnant!"

So has this happened to anyone else? Is it just bloat or does your body really sense that you are PG again and make it happen?

I have no idea why this is! Ok so I put on a bit of weight but normally that goes straight to my hiney and not my belly. And considering that the uterus is still tucked in behind the pelvis bone I must conclude that most of my bump is just bloat cause I cannot really suck it in much either I feel incredibly ungainly!

Edit: This is however my first pregnancy.

Bloating is caused from bowel distention. So thats the reason why you may look pregnant. Your processing of food slows way down, which in return gives you the bloated/pregnant look.

Lol, which also explains the constipation!

This has happened to me too. I am now 10 weeks and I don't think my tummy has really changed since 4 weeks. I think I look like most people look when they are 14-16 weeks, maybe more.

I had to tell people early as they just kept on guessing.
