5 weeks pregnant and look 5 months

[Yrmyfavourite]

Hello,

I am 5+3 with DC2 and my belly is so bloated that I already look quite obviously pregnant. I was a bridesmaid for my sister this week and I look pregnant on every picture because my stomach is so prominent under my chest. Difficult to hide and feeling like a house at the moment!

Any tips for early pregnancy bloat?

Thanks 😊

Hi, sorry, no tips, but you're not alone! My best friend looked hugely pregnant practically from conception! She couldn't stand even a very lose waistband on anything. It's how she knew she was pregnant with her second too.

you're pregnant, nothing wrong with looking pregnant & it doesn't mean you'll get huge either.

can you just try to enjoy being pregnant & be ok with looking pregnant?

Are you very slim?

I am very skinny and popped at 6 weeks! It will settle

Hello,

I’m love being pregnant but, after miscarrying previously, I don't want many people to know this early on so, we've only told close family and friends so far.

Thanks 😊

I found out I was pregnant at 8 days past ovulation. I popped out days before then! By 6 weeks, people were looking and I was so swollen by 9 weeks that my 6 year old asked was I pregnant. I had to tell people as I couldn't hide it. I ended up being quite neat in the end!

Following this thread as I'm 7 weeks today and struggling with bloat. Difficult when trying to keep it quiet for a little bit and not wanting to tell work yet either.
I am a size 8 typically but really struggling to be comfortable in my every day clothes!!

Twins?

Thanks for the replies!

Hopefully just bloat and not twins as 2.5yo DD is already a bit of a handful! 🙈

@Yrmyfavourite ha snap! My DS is 2.5 too. Couldn't even imagine twins 🫣🫣🫣
