Bump at 5/6 weeks?!

I am 6weeks1day
This is my 2nd pregnancy but baby didn't grow past 4 weeks last time.

From 5 weeks onwards my tummy has been big!
I am a size 4 (PRE PREGNANCY) and would regularly wear children's trousers and shorts to fit around my waist and when I used to lay down my hips would stick out.
I DIDNT HAVE A TUMMY AT ALL!!!!

But now from 5 weeks I've had a bulge!
And I can't see my hip bones!

EVERYONE is noticing!! Even strangers in the shop are looking

Even in baggy clothing it shows!!- does this mean I could be carrying TWINS?!?! Shock

It's not food because I've never been able to put on weight. And I take these pictures before I eat anything. My tummy is growing 1/2 an inch every day!! (And so are my boobs GrinWink)

PICTURES PRE PREGNANCY!!

It's not a bump yet, it's a hormonal bloat which you'll like have throughout the first trimester. Completely normal. Congratulations & hope all goes well for you!

Same happened to me, family who knew I was pregnant joked I was having twins!!

And I was 😁

Increased water retention, slowing of the digestive system and faster relaxing if the muscles/ligaments can give a "false bump". It will most likely deflate a bit then a real bump will emerge later on.
Baby is tiny atm so most certainly will not be your uterus despite you having a tiny frame, early bloat is not always a sign of multiple pregnancy either. I was in my normal clothes with twin girls until I got in to the 2nd trimester but in maternity bottoms at 8wk with current singleton.

@PurplePansy05 thank you x

@Workinghardeveryday all my partners family is saying "there's definitely more than one in there!!" ShockShockConfused I have a scan on Wednesday as I'm a high risk pregnancy so I'll guess I'll find out then?!

Just a bit of bloat at this stage.

They are are only around the same size of a grain of rice at this stage, so it will be from hormones

@SweetSunflowerBoo did you find out if there was 1 or 2 at the scan??

SweetSunflowerBoo · 30/04/2021 18:04

@RHODXB apparently only 1 but I'm just getting bigger and bigger 😂
