Im not even 5 weeks and my uterus already looks like its growing. I can see it getting bigger in between my hips.

Is this normal??
I have been eating alot so it could have something to do with that but I just want you ladies opinion.


Thanx,
alexa

Your uterus has not even grown yet - perhaps barely. What you are noticing is the bloat that is very common in very early pregnancy. Possibly even some wishful thinking? Gas and hormones cause that bloating feeling/look.

Good luck with your pregnancy!

I figured it was from the bloating. But just was curious.

Thank you for the good luck lol

Alexa, when I was at 5 weeks I noticed my hips were bigger like they stretched because nothing fit me and I know it wasn't the weight gain because I didnt gain anything until 8 weeks. Im 14 weeks now an ive only gained 6 lbs.
