Swelling??? Posted: 09-12-07 06:32am


Hi there I still don't know if I'm pregnant or not - I have to wait for another week or so - but for the past week or two, I've noticed my stomach is bigger than normal. I usually have an almost flat tummy (I have no idea how, the rest of me is thick!!!) but lately it's been "puffy" .... Also, a couple of times I"ve noticed a metallic taste in my mouth .... Any idea if these are signs?? Thanks!!!

I know your stomach wouldn't be swelling this early in pregnancy if you WERE pregnant. The fetus would only be the size of a pin. Could be water. The metallic taste in your mouth can be a pregnancy symptom, however, it is also associated with other ailments. When I was waiting to find out if I was pregnant, it took about a week also. I had that gut feeling that I was, and it turned out to be right. I would just wait to worry until you know for sure in about a week.
