No, I don't think that you're over 5 weeks. Thin people tend to show earlier than not-so-thin people because they don't have as much to hide it. Still 5 weeks is early to be showing considering your baby is the size of a pea. Really the only way to find out how far along you are is to have an ultra sound.
When you say "eating a lot" do you mean healthy food, fruit, veggies, whole grains, or do you mean what ever you hungry for, like junk food? It is very important to be eating a healthy diet, not only for the baby, but for you. If you aren't eating the nutrients that the baby needs, then he/she will start taking the nutrients it needs from your bones and your body. A good source of info is www.parents.com . Good luck!

OK if your last period started on may 18 and your cycle is 35 days you should have gotten your period on June 22 right? that means you ovulated on June 8 (you ovulate 14 days before the first day of your cycle)
that would make three weeks sense you actually conceived but pregnancy is always counted form the first day of your last period so you are almost 6 weeks pregnant (thats why some women tend to go past there due date because the estimate on how long they have been pregnant is wrong)
if you want to look at how your baby is developing I would look at week 5 not 6 because your cycle is 7 days longer than "normal"
ok so that being said and explained you should not be showing yet, the baby is the size of a grain of rice, and you require no extra calories at this point of your pregnancy. but you are probly retaining fluid or be constipated and may appear bloated. you could also be over eating and gaining fat, but not baby yet.

It is likely that you Ovulated some time around june 3/4, so you probably concieved around there, implantation would have likely taken place some time between the 12th and the 15th.
Doctors count from the last LMP, but you dont really get pregnant then.
Appetite increase is normal, try to avoid white flour, and sugar as much as possible, check out the Brewer Pregnancy Diet for some exc. info. Healthy mothers and healthy pregnancies make for healthy birth giving to healthy babies.
You are not showing yet- perhaps a bit bloated? make sure you are taking a good quality vitamin, the best, I think, is Professional Prenatal Formula by Life Time, nonprescription!
May I suggest a midwife? CNM for hospital or birth center or a CM, CPM if you would prefer to have your birth at home.
All the Best!

If your date is correct, the dr will pull our a little dial, and tell you that you are 5 weeks and 6 days with a due date of Feb 22nd 2007. The only change to this would be if they do an ultrasound and the baby measures differently than the date you gave. It is 40 weeks from the start of you LMP

I was very thin with my daughter and I didn't start showing till I was almost 3 months I believe it depends on each person. I got pregnant in April and I have pictures of me in June and you cant even tell I was pregnant. As long as you are eating well that's all that matters. I did eventually gain allot of weight (50 lbs) and did start to show. Just be patient, eat well and get a sonogram done to know exactly when you are do. =0) Congrats.

You're probably 5 weeks. Some people just gain weight easily and this earlier a lot of pregnant women bloat, as they do when their cycle is due so you're probably just bloated and appear to be showing a little. Doubt you're farther and definitely not baby this early. Congrats and good luck on another 35 weeks :-)

You need to see your doctor for an exam to make sure everything is OK; he can best tell you how far along you are. As for the eating, that's normal for a pregnant woman, just watch what you eat and you'll be just fine.
