Am I showing or just bloated?

I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I have a bump that seems would only be if I were 3 to 4 months preg, just wondering if I am showing or maybe just bloated

    It is just bloat. Your uterus wont reach the top of your pubic bone until 12 weeks. At 16 weeks your uterus will be about half way between your pubic bone and belly button. 20 weeks the top of the uterus is at your belly button. If you drink water it will push your uterus up higher, but as soon as you empty your bladder it goes back. That's why during an abdominal ultrasound they want you to drink water. Congratulations!

    You are just bloated. If your only 5 1/2 weeks there is really no way to really show even with your second at this point. I know I was really bloated early on and everyone was saying how big I was for how far I was. Now they are saying how small I am for how far along I am. I am 35 weeks and look like I'm 6 or 7 months or not even that.

    Definitely probably just bloated. Though you will probably start showing sooner with your second pregnancy. The bloat will go away and then the real baby bump will come.

    details! details! Are you always bloated or just sometimes throughout the day? either way it's probably still just gas or water retention. i hope you have a happy pregnancy!

    you could just have a big baby because some people show really early depending on the person and their build. did you show this early with your previous child? good luck :)

  • you could be showing cause i was showing at about 5 weeks when i was prego with my first son. Then my second I started showing at about 8 weeks

    you might be bloated, but you typically show significantly more with your second so you could be possibly showing too!!

    Congrats and good luck!!

  • most likely you're just bloated.
