My friend looks like she is pregnant but she isn't.......?

Question

My friend always has a belly that looks like its pregnant, but she went to 3 doctors and they all said she is not pregnant, and she is only 14 years old. She isn't even overweight, she is 130 pounds at 5"1. Why does her tummy look like she is pregnant? I mean it always sticks out, and her tummy is always round and full. She can't fit her belly in the desk, it is too big.

Answer 1

It could be cysts, has she had an ultrasound?

Answer 2

Since a lot of people were saying that your friend was overweight, I decided to do a BMI check for her height, weight, and age. She is not currently overweight, but is classified as being at risk for becoming overweight. Ideally, she should probably lose around 10 pounds to be on the safe side. However, she is not overweight enough that her belly should be so big she can't fit in a normal school desk. I have known girls that carried all their weight in their abdomen, but her case sounds extreme. I would recommend that she see a medical professional immediately for an ultrasound, as other answerers have suggested. I hope it turns out okay for her.

Answer 3

Some people carry their weight in different places. It is her specific body type. Some girls carry their weight all over and some right in their stomachs and some in their legs. It makes you different from everyone else. it also depends on the body type of her father and mother. But 130 pounds for 5'1'' is overweight. She could lose some weight and do sit-ups to fix this problem. Unless she doesn't feel uncomfortable about her weight and hasn't said anything to you, I would drop it. It may make her feel self-concious.

Answer 4

Has your friend had sex? If she has then she can be pregnant. Not always can doctor's tell sometimes it is hidden, but if this has been going on for a few months, then most likely she is not pregnant. She could have a growing tumor or she could be just a little overweight. I would drink lots of water and watch what I ate and exercise a little more and if that doesn't work go see a gastroenteritis.

Answer 5

That doesn't sound too overweight to be causing a problem like that.I have seen girls who look pregnant when they're not though.You should try exercising together for a while and see if there is any improvement.If not,then she needs to go to the doctor again.

Answer 6

My friend had that in high school. She was cute and tiny everywhere but her belly.

Well, what it turned out to be was a 13-pound benign tumor on her right ovary. Her stomach was even hard!

I would get it checked out, and see if that is what the case could be.

Answer 7

If she's 5'1" and weighs 130 lbs., she is definately overwieght. Her belly just happens to be where her body stores the wieght.(I have friends that carry weight on their stomachs and it's not really noticeable anywhere else.) Every 5', a girls is suppost to be around 100 lbs.; every inch after that, there is suppost to 5 lbs.

Answer 8

Uterine Fibroids in the uterus will cause swelling and bloating but not sure if you can have them at a young age? Middle age women commonly get them and overweight women. She should go see a gynocologist for a well woman exam.

Answer 9

It looks greater like bloating. before 12 weeks the uterus is tucked down contained in the pelvis so the earliest you ought to in all possibility have a toddler bump is 12-13 weeks and at that it may be somewhat! yet bloating in early being pregnant is genuinely favourite! good success to her

Answer 10

For her height 130 is overweight.

Answer 11

Well, maybe she has a beer belly or maybe she is bloated a lot or retaining a lot of water too. Is her belly hard?? If she was pregnant, it will be somewhat hard.
