Lil bit worried I may have a baby bump... what is a way to identify prego or bloated...lol?

Hmmm..I must say it does look a little like a picture I have of my belly when I was about 4 months pregnant, just that little bump there below the belly button... I guess one thing to tell if it is real or not is does it feel like there is something sort of hard in the bump? Gas wouldn't feel as hard as if there was a baby in there....I remember being able to feel my uterus quite easily and distinctivly..best way to describe it for me is like a little bal under the skin or something.. haha sorry prob not very helpful..

I agree you should go see a doctor..

With the PT was there no pregnancy line or a faint line? I had a faint line and as first I thought it was negative then my friend pointed out that even if the line is faint the results are still positive...do another test or see a doctor. I think it's the only way you can be sure.

Good luck!

So, in four months the HPT has not shown positive? Something is not right here.

Have you even talked to or called your doctor? Four months is a long time to go without prenatal care. If you had suspicions, you should have called your doctor much sooner than right now.

Grocery stores are open all day today and they sell HPTs.

Also, while this does resemble a baby bump, I also look this way after I have eaten or when I am bloated from gas or my period...and I'm not pregnant. It's hard to tell what that bump is exactly caused by.

If in 4 months, you have not had a positive HPT, my guess is you are not pregnant, but something is definitely going on with you....could it be a growing ovarian cyst? I have heard those can mess with your period as well.

It is such a hard thing to know if you are pregnant or just bloated. If the preg tests have been negative then it is unlikely you were pregnant then, but you may have conceived later and be pregnant now. Some women do "show" a lot sooner than others, but at this early stage if you are pregnant and showing it would be bloating and gas anyway, lol. The only way to know for sure is a preg test, or go and see your Doc and get a blood test.

Hope that helps.

oh hun it could be gas , menstrual related bloating, cyst, tumour, or just the regular holiday weight gain, it could be anything really. but the only way to know for sure is to see a Dr. unfortunately you may have to wait a bit for that appointment which believe me can be very stressful, i should know, this time last year i was in the same boat, i took a test it was - a week or 2 took another and it was - too, another week or 2 still no period so i took another and it was +. i had made an appointment and now i have a 3 month old to add to my 15 month old, 5 yr old, & my 8 yr old

good luck, merry christmas and a happy new year

I have to say if I was a betting woman I would say you are pregnant. Not only for the pic but being tired all the time. Are you feeling nauseous or does the thought or touch of anything make you a little sick to your stomach? The only thing I can say is get a test asap and good luck!!

Looks like you might be pregnant. You should wait until the doctor's office opens and make an appointment.

So, you havne't gotten your period in 4 months? Showing that much you are probably a little ways along, typically with the first pregnancy you don't show early on, until about 4 months or so.

you are at risk of falling pregnant after / during bleeding.

maybe you can do the sums in the mean time and go out 2morrow and get another PT and see the GP ASAP!

don't jump to conclusions, just wait for the facts to be presented and take each day as it comes.

stress can delay / make periods come late....so sex may not be the cause?

Relax and have a nice hot shower and clear your mind

Well it does look like a start of a baby bump. I'm not sure but you really should just get a test as soon as you can. Good luck.

pretty hard to say, the only thing i reccomend is getting a test, i started showing about 4 months along, if you still get a negative and your still concerned then go to the doctor

If you live in the US go to Walgreens there open 365 days a year!!
