HOLY MOLY! Is this normal?????

[3rockstars]

OKay I"m gonna be 5 weeks tomorrow. Shouldnt' be showing right??? So what's this???



I mean, yeah I had no abs of steel to begin with being that this is my third pregnancy and third baby. But how many kids are in there???? 17? I mean, I had the customary little fat pad until my belly button but I was pretty generally flat in my abs region before this. And this is within the last few days. Is this normal for 5 weeks? Anyone have a 5 or 6 week shot to show me?

Sorry about the flash by the way! and to give you an idea, those boobies are 34b. And I'm generally a size 6-8. So this is me with the jeans unbuttoned, bella band, and a tank top. I think I'm in for a HUGE belly.

They say you show sooner with each pregnancy.

for me i was in maternity for 20ish weeks and fully showing by oohhh 22ish wks...everyone that sees me is OHH you FINALLY have poped out LOL

[Sweet_Fantasy_Fox]

wow mama..hehehe
are you sure your only 5 weeks
i'm j/k, you will show sooner and maybe since your uterus has stretched a few times before it is just ready although the baby is the size of a sesame seed, you do get bloated at the beginning

Hm, I'm kind of the same way. Maybe I can snap a picture later. This is my third as well and I do have a belly. It's pathetic.

I DID THIS WITH MY 3RD PREGNANCY... ARE YOU SURE YOUR ONLY 5 WKS??
MAYBE THERE ARE 3 OR 4 IN THERE...GOOD LUCK

[ChurchPunkMom]

Yep, the 'previous experience factor' probably partnered with a little bloating.

me at 6wks this time


me at 8wks this time


This pregnancy and last, I have been 'high and pointy' - I'm thinking it's another girl. With my boys, I looked like you do - really low. I don't have any pics from my pregnancies with the boys, but I remember showing really early (had to start wearing knit pants by about 8wks) and being about that big by 5-6wks.

Well my last af was May 12. Started that day(saturday) and lasted only until Monday but there was heavy enough bleeding that I really thought it was a real period. I wasn't concerned and thought nothing of it. Definitely more than spotting. My periods usually go 3 days and stop for a day or so and then spot 2 days at the end and I never had those spotty 2 days. But I had no symptoms. And I didn't think I o'd either because there was no ewcm. But then again I wasn't really charting, just watching discharge and hoping. I came off the nuvaring 3 months ago so I wasn't expecting this. There better not be 3 or 4 in there!!!!! I'm birthing only one or two children. I refuse to birth 3 or 4 babies!!!!!

Oh yeah and with Madyson I didn't show until 4 months. With Sara I got into maternity pants at like 6 weeks because I was poking out but I wasn't this big this early and I went really slowly.

There's a bloat factor and it just kinda pushes on those ab muscles that have already been through this before...they say, oh yea, this...pop.

I'm 5 weeks too (I think) Think my last AF was around 5/11 but I'm a little fluffier than you on a normal basis anyway.

Ya know what???? I can't be further along because I took a test about 2 weeks after AF and it was negative. I would have had a positive if that wasn't a real period right????
