I'm 14 weeks pregnant. At around 5-6 weeks you may get a little bigger because everything inside your body is adjusting and preparing for what is going to happen in the near future to your body. Your intestines and stomach swell up and you do bloat a little causing your tummy area to bulge. The inside swelling will go down, but when it does you really will start to show. Either way you're going to get alot bigger for the next 7 1/2 months and, although you are bigger, it is beautiful and you are creating another life. congratulations!

It's likely to just be bloating at this point. Some women do say they start swelling right away but your doctor will tell you that you aren't showing yet. I guess unless you're like anorexic skinny there's no way your uterus is that big, plus it's still too low to show.

Its not unusual for women to get bloated in the first weeks of pregnancy. Your digestive tract slows down and changes in pregnancy, so in most pregnancy books they will tell you to try to eat smaller meals more frequently (about 6 a day) to prevent bloating and constipation.

Ha! I started filling in my jeans long before I knew I was PG.
So much weight that I was taking inventory of what I was eating and thinking I haven't been eating anymore than before, what the heck?

I guess you could start to show. But more than likely you are just retaining water. It happens a lot in the first trimester.
