9 weeks pregnant. What is this???

Hi,
So in the morning when I wake up I have a baby bump, looking down seems more prominent on left side but looking upwards just looks like a good few months baby bump.
I was 9 weeks yesterday and this is my third pregnancy, last was almost 6 years ago.

I will attach photos, one looking down and the other looking up. Any advice would be amazing thanks

Wow it looks like a proper pregnancy bump. They do say the more children you have you show earlier. Don't know how true that is.
Do you think it's bloating?

Thank you for the reply happyhappy37
During the day I’m definitely bloated, clothes are already tight and scared to weigh myself Shock
This is different though as it feels hard but once I get up out of bed it pretty much goes and I’m back to squishy bloating

Oh I see. I am sure it's nothing to worry about. Our bodies do weird things when pregnant. Smile

Thanks happyhappy37 and caffeine fix
I have been using doctor google, I know shouldn’t but can’t help myself.
It seems when you wake up in the morning and have a full bladder per se the uterus can be pushed up to the front of your abdominals which would explain it as during the day just feel bloated and as though I’ve put on lots weight.

@Fingerscrossed11 well I've learned something new tonight. Girl listen Google becomes an addiction when pregnant or ttc. I was always on Google when I had my second one. Especially, because I fell pregnant after a miscarriage.
When are you due?

Have you had a scan yet? Could you be carrying more than one?

@OfftoPenscome
I haven’t had a scan yet, was thinking of getting an early reassurance one the end of this week albeit I’ll be 10 weeks by then.
You don’t think it’s more than one do you? Saying that I’m 40 this year Shock

I'm on my third pregnant, my last pregnancy was nearly 5 years ago, and I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and i don't have a bump like yours in the morn, it definitely looks like a baby bump to me tho (I'd be seconding the twins haha) you'll have to give us an update after your scan Smile

OfftoPenscome · 23/02/2020 16:00

Looking at your tummy I think you have a good Chance of multiples. Smile

@OfftoPenscome
Multiples would definitely be a shock.
It’s strange that it’s there in the morning and after getting up seems to go.
During day just feel fat Hmm
I’ll definitely give an update after scan, hopefully this Friday but I haven’t booked it yet.
I’m nervous now.

Ot could be fibroids. I have them and my stomach looks very similar

HarrietM87 · 24/02/2020 14:14

@Fingerscrossed11 I had this when I was pregnant, but much later - maybe 14 weeks ish? I’d sleep on my side in the night and in the morning the baby would be on that side! Once I was up and about my insides obviously rearranged themselves again and it disappeared. Could just be more obvious earlier as it’s not your first pregnancy.

@HarrietM87
Thank you for your message.
That’s exactly what I’ve been getting and now you mention it I do sleep on my left side so sounds exactly what you had. Been having it for good week or so now. Will be 10 weeks on Thursday.

Do update us after the scan.

Hey @fingerscrossed11 we're pretty much at exactly the same stage! I'm 10 weeks tomorrow with my third baby and there's a 7 year gap since my son was born!

My stomach looks just like yours. My clothes are tight and I definitely have a 'bump' by the afternoon/evening. It's becoming tricky to hide it at work.

I hope your scan goes well. I had one at 8 weeks and there's defo only one in there so don't worry too much about multiples.

Good luck!

Mamato2gorgeousboys · 24/02/2020 20:27

Ooh maybe it’s twins. My friend had a bump like that at 7/8 weeks. Her poor dh nearly fainted and got the shock of his life. She wanted her third and last dc and after much persuasion, he agreed Grin

@LatteLover12
Thank you.
Hopefully getting private scan on Friday Grin
Will update.
I think I’m deluding myself that I look less pregnant than what I am, thinking people may notice soon. Either that or they think I’m putting on lots weight.

@Mamato2gorgeousboys
Thank you for your message.
A few people have posted it may be twins Shock
Can imagine it must be quite a shock when twins are mentioned Grin
Hopefully find out on Friday.
