Is this your first or second child? Were you petite when you got preggy? Retaining water could be a huge part of why you're showing. Slow down on the salts and drink looots of water to flush your system out to get rid of the bulge.

Thanks and yes this is my first child... Although earlier today it kinda got me worried when I was spotting light blood. Should I contact the nurse? Because my b.F said don't worry it's just implantation bleeding. Which was wierd. I even cried because I was so worried =(

Light spotting is ok your friends probably right about the implatation bleeding plus normally if something is wrong pain accompanies the blood

I got a bump really fast with my first baby, and with this one I got really big quick even though I have only gained 5 lbs. Who knows.....We are all different.
I spotted during this pregnancy and called my dr and he said that as long as it's not really pink or bright red it's ok. If you and your boyfriend are having sex and he bumps your cervix you could bleed and it may stay in there a few days and then come out brownish. That is ok. If you have had an exam then you may bleed too. Just remember brown ok pink or red not ok. But if you are worried, do call your nurse to help put your mind at ease. I did.

Well then should I be worried? Because that day when I went to go pee and I wiped there was alittle bit of light pink blood on the tissue... Right now i'm so scared... I don't know what it would mean I hope its not an early miscarriage.

If you're that worried, you need to go to the .E.R. Or call your ob/gyn. They will let you know what to do or even schedule you an appt. With your .Dr.

Well I went to go see the nurse on monday and I told her i've ben having trouble going to the bathroom and she tested me if I had uti and I did. Then I told her about the spotting and she said it was normal and she also said that the uti might have something to deal with the cramping too... She just told me if I have really bad cramping to the point I can't walk and bright red blood that keeps on bleeding then I need to go to the hospital.
Other then that she just told me to relax and look out for those things.Because i'm almost about 6 weeks....
