7 weeks pregnant?

Question

I am 7 weeks pregnant today, but i look like a elephant. I seriously look like I am 5 months. Is this normal? And I don't look that big everyday. Some days i am almost completely flat. Can it be that on somedays i eat more than others? Please help.

Answer 1

At this point, baby is far too small to be causing your tummy to be big. Its probably intestinal bloating and is quite normal. This may stick around until your hormones start to level out around 3 months or longer. And yes, it is partially to blame on what you eat, obviously some foods cause more gas than others...

Answer 2

I bet you don't look like one but feel big
at 7 weeks you will feel gazy
I am 5 weeks some day I look flat and someday I feel full
yet my pant still fit at size 6

Answer 3

Hi! I will be 7 weeks this Thursday. Some days I feel fuller than others. I think it's just gas and also water retenion. I cannot fit my jeans anymore so I am wearing more loose fitted pants. I have a small framed body so I might start to show more earlier than others also. Good luck to you!

Pregnancy is different for everyone. I have had three. Each one i felt different. No it is not from eating too much. Your body is changing. For me when i felt fat, when i was the early into my pregnancy, I felt bad too. My doctor told me i was feeling the "fullness" of the baby. Eat right. Drink Water. And Rest.
Enjoy pregnancy is awesome even though you feel icky at times.

Answer 5

Sound like you a retaining water. To fix your body then you need to watch your salt intake and drink lots and lots of water, not sodas, teas, coffees, these all contain a lot of sodium and that is mainly salt. Salt will make you swell and retain fluid. Good Luck

Answer 6

I'm the same, now im 3 months and look 6! I think its water retention

Answer 7

Bloating could be causing the elephant effect, hun.
