Hi I’m on my 4th pregnancy and I’m just wondering if anyone could tell me if I could just be bloated or if I have a bump originally I thought I was about 9 weeks but turns out when I had spoke to midwife I’m only 5 weeks 6 days I haven’t been this big this early with my other 3 pregnancy I know every pregnancy is different but just curious if this could be just bloating this early or could it be a bump and possibly be further on like 9 weeks any replies would be great thank you for taking the time to read ❤️

I don’t think anyone online can tell you if it’s a bump or bloating tbh 😂 if you started to show early with your other pregnancies then maybe, although at 5w unlikely. 9w possible.

What caused the discrepancy in dates? When were you counting from? Do you have irregular cycles?

I was going with my normal LMP which was the 13th April but because I had light spotting on and off for 2 days in may the midwife said when I phoned them they class the 2 day on and off as my LMP and never had that in any other of my pregnancy

Congratulations on your pregnancy 🥳

Not specifically from the photo but I'd have thought anything at 6ish weeks would have to be bloat rather than bump, since the embryo is only a few millimetres

Hmm, if it was just spotting I call BS. Are you able to request a scan to check dates, as if she’s wrong that has implications for timings of a whole load of things. When did you first test positive?
