Answer 1

Well it could either be...

-Bloating

-You are maybe a bit further along that you though

-Expecting more than one baby, maybe twins or triplets

Congratulations anyhow!

Answer 2

You're probably further along than 6 or 7 weeks.

Answer 3

i bloating lots. :P ergh.

maybe you had a false period and are a month further than you think. If you're quite slim, then it will be more noticeable on you anyway.

Gratz!!

Answer 4

ur probably just chunky, cut back on the doritos and milkshakes and u might see some improvement...

Answer 5

You could be further along than you think or you could be carrying more than one baby. You also could be retaining a lot of water and other fluids. Of course, the only way to know for certain is to keep your appointments!

Answer 6

you can't tell till you have had your 12 weeks scan, they will tell you exactly when it's due. i know this is annoying and frustrating but you just can't tell by the size of your bump. just have to be patient, sorry ! congratulations and good luck with it all though !

Answer 7

If you are only 6-7 weeks then you won't be showing yet no not for a few weeks yet. Many woman get alot of bloating during the first few weeks of pregnancy which makes belly bigger. If you are worried go and see your GP. You won't get a more accurate date and how far on you are until your scan. Congrats on baby x

Answer 8

Since this is your first pregnancy, it is most likely bloating which is very common in early pregnancy.  It can cause a "bump" that may even feel firm.  It's normal, but it isn't the baby or uterus at this point.  You won't have a true baby bump for quite some time.  (Probably 4-5 months along).  If you are very thin, you may show a bit sooner.



Good Luck and Congrats!

Answer 9

It might be water weight causing you to feel bloated. Or maybe you could be a bit constipated.

Or, you could be like my one friend who seemed to show within minutes of finding out she's pregnant.  Every woman's body is different, and we will each react differently.

Either way, Congrats!

Answer 10

I think you are just bloated, i was the same way at 7 weeks.

Answer 11

u could be bloated.. happened when I first got pregnant...

Answer 12

its bloating

in pregnancy all your muscles relax in your stomach, this causes lots of wind, constipation and bloating

gd luck and congrats

Answer 13

I wasn't showing at all at 6 weeks, I just started showing now and im about 12 weeks. I didn't have my 1st doctor appt til i was 6 weeks

Answer 14

Bloating probably.

Edit: I made a typo it said "boating" lol, sorry :]

Frenchie: She's pregnant you moron. Don't be so rude.

Answer 15

You may be, or you may also be expecting more then one. You never know. It's not a stupid question!  

Answer 16

I'll be 6 wks pregnant on Friday, and I too have a bigger belly.... not anything dramatic....... its just bloating.... my dr advised this is very normal  for early pregnancy, especially if this is your first time! (like me)

Your mid wife will be able to tell you how far along you are!

Congrats!

Answer 17

shouldnt be showing yet see a gp

Answer 18

I thought I might have been further along because I started showing at 6 weeks. Everything was fine my first couple of doctors visits.... and then at my ultrasound at 18 weeks they saw 2 babies! This is also my first pregnancy.... Now I am 24 weeks and look about 8-9 months! Use alot of lotion, it will help with your skin growing so fast. Good luck to you, I'm sure everything will be fine!!

Answer 19

no actually it is your bowels.. and gas seriously, google it. It will go away and your baby will start growing.

Answer 20

it could be bloating or they could be twins coming

Congra

Answer 21

It's probably just bloating - a lot of women get this in the first few weeks of pregnancy.

Congrats!
