Bump at 5 weeks???

[Happysurprise]

Is it possible to develop a "bump" after only 5 wks and 5 days? My stomach is bloated (as are boobs) but my weight is the same. Obviously I know the baby is somewhere between sesame seed and apple pip but does everything inside swell up or do you retain water on your tummy in preparation? My diet hasnt really changed except no booze and I wasnt drinking much anyway. I know it sounds mad but I really do look like I have a small bump and am wondering if it might be a sign of twins or if anyone else has experienced this?

Bloating!! Your womb is still in your pelvic cavity so no bump yet, unless your dates are way off?

It's just bloat. I had this form about 5 - 7 weeks and then it disappeared and I didn't get a bump until about 16 weeks.

I am 7 weeks and my stomach is much bigger than usual but I am putting it down to bloating (and less exercise..). Boobs are massive too! Am looking forward to an actual bump so I can stop just feeling fat... Although if anyone disagrees and thinks this could be an actual bump please let me know!!

Pregnancy hormones slow your digestion down so your intestines fill up with waste, fluid, and wind. That is the slight unglamorous source of your bump!

Thank goodness for that! I was thinking I was going to be the size of a house in 35 weeks! Thanks for your replies - as you may have guessed this is my first pregnancy :)

9 weeks and can't fasten my jeans. My aunt reassured me by telling me she was exactly the same with her 3 but ended up with "normal" sized bumps

I'm 5 + 3 and sooooo bloated! Had to buy one of those wrap things you place over your flies so you can open the top button on your trousers, plus, I've already gone up a cup size bra-wise!
