hummm... is this possible???

The passed few days I've noticed that the part of my belly right below my belly button has gotten firm and filled out, it used to just be loose skin.  I went to put on jeans I bought in June today, and they were so tight I could barley breathe.  I asked my Dr. yesterday if it were possible for me to be forming a baby bump this early and she said that being I am pretty short, it's not uncommon.  I have two pictures, the first one was taken the day I found out I was pregnant (August 10, for comparison) and the second one is today, I can definitely tell a difference and I can feel one too.  Depending on which Dr. you ask I as little at 6 weeks 5 days, or as far as 8 weeks 2 days.  I have my first U/S on Tuesday so they will tell me a better estimate then.  But am I imagining things, or can you see a belly starting to form???

Thanks Karen

LOL!  I'm so happy for you!  Right now, your forming lots and lots of water, so this would explain the buldge.  Once you hit 4 months, that's when your going to notice the belly taking on different shapes, moving, and feeling extremely hard.  It's so exciting I know!

I don't know about a baby bump, but I was in maternity pants at 6 weeks for the exact problem.  In no time my skin folds started to fill out.  It was not until Friday (just shy of 33 weeks) that everyone else started to notice that I had a "baby bump" 

Have fun with it. 

I noticed my pants being tight early too around 5 or 6 weeks and I don't know if some of it was mental or not, but I did not feel comfortable with anything snug around my belly it drove me insane and made me paranoid. I wore pants that stretched instead of jeans for most of my pregnancy cause even the maternity jeans bothered my stomach.

Hi Karen!

Congrats on your BFP. I dont post to much but I do lurk. I am almost as far along as you but I am new post op.  I think its possible youve got something forming there lol. But its not too out there cause my fiance keeps saying he is seeing something form and take shape in my tummie area (which I dont believe for multiple reasons....1. I'm still losing weight lol). Also, my doc told me while it wont be the baby, in the beginning many tend to retain water which will give them the appearance of a bump.

Hope that helps,
Simone

My pants fit tighter at 6 weeks than they do now at almost 17 weeks.   I was very bloated until about 8 or 9 weeks.  I was hoping I would look pregnant since this is my second pregnancy.   Not so much.  I've had several people this week at work ask in a round about way if I was still pregnant.  Then go to say that I don't look it.  I guess I could be one of those women that hide their pregnancy the entire time....if I wasn't such an open book lol.

My jeans started to get uncomfortable by about 8 weeks. I wasn't showing but I could feel it. It was pretty crazy! I am finally now showing at 24 weeks. Its about time!
