Q: Different Topic. Really About Preggi Bellies This Time

Okay I went to some site where you can look at pictures of women in their 1st trimester, and at 5 weeks some of those females had bellies already. Im not sure if im pregnant yet, but if I am I would be 5 weeks and my stomach doesn't look like theirs. Maybe im not pregnant like I thought I was. Wut do u think?

You really shouldn't have any sign of a belly as early as 5 weeks, so you could be pregnant. Every woman is different, but 5 weeks is extremely early to be showing.

Refer to my post in your other thread about showing...

I didn't start showing until I was about 10 weeks. And even then, like I said, it was only because I was so skinny when I got pregnant (i'm 5'8" and weighed 106). Most of it was just regular weight gain, not really "showing".

7th month?!?! Crike!!! I'd gained 50 pounds by the time I hit my 70th month!!! Lol I was 30 pounds underweight when I got pregnant and the docs were like, "you need to gain 65 pounds" and I thought it was impossible... Let's just say I went above and beyond their expectations!

I understand. Maybe they already had a little pot belly before, and at 5 wks there was really nothing there but that pot belly, so they decided to show that as their pregnancy. Or maybe they all were just bloated

I am 5 and a half weeks and my pants don't fit...Cry, cry. This stinks! This is my second pregnancy, maybe that is why. My first preg I started showing about 4 and half months. I wouldn't say I am showing now, just bloated. I am going to be a cow this time around. Haha.

You get differing information on whether or not abortion frequently causes infertility. The most concrete information linking abortion to infertility is if you're exposed to the chlamydia organism, which causes inflammation of the fallopian tubes and ovaries.
At the clinic they perform a urinalysis and test you.

I've read that how early you show depends on how many children you've had. I've read that if you've been preg before you can show as early as the first missed period on the next go round. I've also heard that if your abs were seriously out of shape to begin with you'd show earlier too.

At 5 weeks, it's probably just bloat.

I didn't start showing until about 23 weeks.

People usually show more their second third and so on pregnancies. Showing at 5 weeks sounds a little crazy cause the baby is like the size of this dot . Maybe just a little bit bigger
