I found out that I am pregnant last week and I am now 5 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child I suspected I might be pregnant so I took an early pregnancy test and it turns out yes I am pregnant I know I can not possibly be more than 5 weeks because I took a pregnancy test last month and it was negative. I have an appointment on Monday to see my OB but I am really freaking out because I look like im 4 months pregnant which is not normal cause with my other pregnancies I didn't show till I was about 7 months so Im really stressing out. My friends tell me that the more kids you have the sooner you show. But 5 weeks??????? Let me know stories or something cuz im freaking out.

I am the same. The books say it is the gas, but Idon't see how gas can make my belly stick out this much! You do show faster with each one, and this is my third too. I am actually embarrassed. I should be wearing maternity clothes, but I don't want to yet, so all I wear is sweats and hoodies!!!! I don't want to tell people I am only 1 month along. I am also worried I am gaining too much weight! Who knows, BUT you are not alone!

I would think you are further along. And as far as the negative PT. My sister never showed up positive on a pt test for her first child at all, they did blood test, And her second child she showed up negative on the home bought test again but the next month showed up positive just to find out when she seen the dr she was already 3 months along.

five weeks is kind of early to be showing regardless of how many pregnancies....
you maybe retaining excess fluid and on the same note....stressing over being pregnant maybe causing you to "feel" like you are larger than you really are....
Hopefully this is a wanted baby.....but just relax and wait and ask the doctor....he can tell you if this is out of the ordinary for five weeks. Good luck.

I guess I was never showing quite that early, but by the time I was about 3 months along or so, it was obvious...I was only 6 months along and had people constantly asking me when the baby was due...or if it was twins. I didn't gain a ton of weight either...it was just the way my body carried the baby...Good luck and congratulations on the new baby!

My wife did that on her second pregnancy, and there were absolutely no problems whatsoever. She carried to 39.5 weeks and then delivered naturally in less than 2 hours. The babies were both very healthy.
Oh yeah, did I mention it was twins?
Sorry don't mean to freak you out at all but this is a true story.

Sometimes you can have your period while your pregnant. 5 weeks is way to soon to be showing, but you could be showing at 2 to 3 months... It is odd though, Don't freak out, but you could be farther along than you think

im sure the more kids you have you still would not look like ur 4 months when your only 5 weeks. don't worry to much, you can cause yourself to get anxiety. Just relax and take care of ur self and the baby. congrats and good luck

There are many contributing factors it's baby number 3, did you have a c-section, the time frame between the children, your age and many others.

Pregnancy causes a lot of bloating...it seemed like as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I couldn't button my jeans. It's normal.
Congratulations!
