At 4 weeks along I didn't feel any difference. You use your stomach muscles more when standing so could be that?

It'll just be your core muscles helping to support you when standing. When you sit down the tummy muscles relax and you have extra skin there as you're holding yourself so it won't be as taught.
At 4 weeks the baby is only the size of a poppy seed, so you've got a looooong wait ahead of you until you start getting a bump in afraid!
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Enjoy it!
