I'm 18 and have always been a very thin and petite girl. My skin has been tight and I haven't had any fat on me. Over the past few months, I've been noticeing that I haven't gained weight, but I have this bulge in my stomach, that almost makes it look like I'm pregnant. (100 % sure I'm not pregnant by the way). I've tried to do a few excercise but thats not working, and i have friends that have even noticed it. I'ts really noticeable from the side view, and I look about 3 mths pregnant, just a bulge, in my stomach thats it. Nothing has changed anywhere else, and I really would hate to see a doctor for something 'stupid' like this. Any suggestions or answers to whats happened and what to do? Im too embarrassed to even wear my fitted shirts and swimsuits.
Please serious answer, only.
Thanks and God Bless :-)

It could be many reasons why you have a bump. I know you said y ou don't want to go to a Dr, but I really think that is your best option right now. If you have had this for a couple of months, you need to get it checked out. I had a friend who had a bump and it turned out it was a huge cyst in her stomach. Please don't be embarrassed, any good Dr, would defiantly not think you are wasting time.. For your good health, go see a Doctor.

If you want to make your stomach flat, then you need to follow a proper exercise, diet schedule and get sufficient sleep. You need to get the right proteins, carbohydrates, fibers and vitamins daily in your diet. There is no magical formula to make the tummy flat; exercise and hard work is the only way to make your tummy flat.
Diet:·
Intake Low carb diet·
Do not consume foods high in sugar content·
If possible do not eat junk food. If you need to eat junk food , consume less ·
Eat low fat food and avoid fried foods·
Drink fruit juices and plenty of water·
Eat lots of green leafy vegetable and fruits
Exercise: Jogging is the best exercise to start with. You need to jog for at least 20 minutes before you start doing the tummy exercises. Tummy crunch or sit ups is the best exercise for your stomach. Do the tummy crunch in different variations. The more the repetitions, the more strength for your tummy muscles. Swimming is also a good exercise for the whole body. Some yoga poses also help in strengthening the upper and lower part of the tummy and also increase the flexibility of the stomach muscles. Sleep: Sleep is a necessity for rest, relaxation and recuperation. You need to get a good sleep, to recharge your muscles after a workout. On an average an adult needs around 8 hours of sleep. If you rest for fewer hours, the risk of becoming overweight increases.

Okay if you are 100% sure that you are not prego then maybe you have a hernia or something more serious I would definitely see a doc. And honey if it is bothering you it is not stupid! The only stupid question is the one not asked.
