I am 5 weeks pregnant and I am starting to show (I think). Why would this be happening this early?

I was weighing between 120 and 125 and I am 5'5". Now I weigh 130 +/-. My clothes are starting to fit tight, but my husband is also feeding me much, much more.

Because you're going to have a 10lb plus baby. Just kidding. Everyone is different. If you're petite, you will show sooner and more than some who is heavier. Congrats and good luck.

120 and 5'5" is pretty trim. I'm not surprised that you're pooching already. At 5 weeks the uterus is not up and out of the pelvis yet, but the growing uterus does displace other things that are usually down farther. And pregnancy does cause gas and bloating as well.
I am 5'4" and 120, similar to you, and am 13 weeks pregnant. At around 5 weeks I noticed that at different times of the day my tummy seemed larger than others, so it was more likely bloating for me. Ahhhh I miss my size 2 jeans! I didn't pay any attention to others comments about when I "should" be showing or "should" wear maternity clothes. I wore what was comfortable to me. Good luck!

Is this your first baby? If not, you tend to show much earlier than the first time around. If so, every woman's body is different and yours just may be showing early. What you think is you showing may just be your gaining weight from water retention. Also, your due date could be off- that is just an estimate, so you could be further along than you think.
I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks along, and was already gaining weight and "showing" because I was super skinny to begin with....
OR, you could have twins! LOL....anyway, don't worry about it, I'm sure you're fine. I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy and a healthy baby!

i'm 12 weeks on my third being pregnant and that i've got had to flow to maternity clothing because of the fact i'm showing and have been for extra or less 3 weeks. relies upon on the female, the being pregnant and how they create. With my first infant i did not prefer extra effective clothing till approximately 25 weeks and with my son at approximately 18 weeks. My toddlers are 3, 13 months and 12 weeks on the way.

Ur uterus is filling with blood to accomodate the fetus. It is common swelling and completely normal. Understand this is not baby u r seeing, but ur body preparing to nurture your baby.
Good luck and congrats hun!

everyone is different
but you might not actually be showing. you just know that you're pregnant so in your mind you're growing a belly.
when your clothes get tight that's your for sure sign you're showing!

It is probably your bowels in your stomach, but don't worry, you'll be showing soon enough :-) Congrats!!
