Is this all in my head? there has been no real weight gain but my tummy looks like its protruding?????? My first pregnancy I lost 20 pounds because I was very sick so I didn't show untill 5 months. What is going on, any advice ladies.

It is possible...but it is more likely your intestine that is protruding. Early in pregnancy we get gas, and constipation and this can cause our bellies to stick out a little. Second time moms show earlier than first time moms. I am 10 weeks and have a slight bulge already.

You're probably noticing something, like bloating or swelling. Iam sure its not noticeable to anyone else.
Its quite common to show much more quickly with the second than the first. USually after the first baby you end up with a "pooch" of fat right over your lower belly that you dont really pay attention to. It really makes things look bigger faster in the begining... Plus your uterus has stretched before, so it has a much quicker easier go at it this time around.

You are probably just retaining fluids and bloated because of that. But with my first pregnancy I started showing very early (at about 2 1/2 to 3 months) because I was carrying twins.

Actually I have 2 kids now. With my first Im got a big belly quick. with me second no one could tell I was pregnant until I was about 7 months. Now I'm pregnant again with my third and I got my big belly at around 10 weeks.... So it is possible. It really all depends on your body and the weight gain that you get.... Well good luck to you..

i am on my 4th pregnancy 7 weeks along and I had to buy maternity clothes last week, it is noticeable that i am pregnant, people guess around 4 to 5 months along. With my second i showed earlier but not at 5 weeks, it is possible though, every single women is different and her body reacts different.

It is probably water weight. I started showing at 6 weeks with my first one and needed maternity clothes a week later. Actually, I showed the earliest with my first. I have had four.

Not show really, but hold water, yes, which can cause bloating and a few pounds weight gain, tighter pants...

Depending on the amount of fluid in your body you can begin to show at any time. Your stomach get big from fluids and also the baby, but mainly fluids.

maybe if you're skinny your uterus is poking out because your muscles and ligaments do loosen after your first pregnancy but the baby is still the size of a bean. you probably just aren't holding your tummy in any more because you know you're pregnant.

No. Even at 2 months, the baby is only the size of a grape. You might be a bit bloated, but the baby is too small to be pushing your tummy out yet. Normal showing begins around 3-5 months.
