By the way... giant uterus is my own term! Not a medical one! hahaha... they just told me it was much higher than it would normally be at that point (3-4 inches above my belly button when half way to the belly button was common)

I showed like that at around 8 weeks. It wasn`t bloating because it never went away, and it wasn`t weight because I had actually lost weight at that point. When I went in for my first ultrasound, they told me that I had a giant uterus (it had grown rapidly from early on due to hormones) so that could be what is going on with you. It just means your uterus grew more quickly than average, and has no negative effects for you or the baby, other than that you will show earlier... lots more room for baby to move around! I also have a tilted uterus (again, no complications or concerns if you do have one) which the doctors thought could also have contributed to showing earlier... I hope that helps!

In the beginning of my pregnancy I was the same way and even with my last baby. I have no idea why. I hear its because I had children before but I see this is your first, right? Everyone is different and have different body shapes. Nothing wrong with it though. Maybe you should ask your doctor if you think its out of the ordinary.

I do believe some of it is bloating, but not from just water retention. I have problems with constipation when pregnant, and tend to show more when I`m full of it - literally. TMI - LOL! I started showing early with this preg, but it seemed like it was obvious to others when I hadn`t gone to the restroom in 2-3 days - or more. I don`t know if this is your first child, but most will show sooner with their second,... babies.

You could be retaining water?! Are you taking your pics first thing in the morning to ensure that its not bloating?? My girlfriend is similar to your size at 7 weeks and she has gained her weight from eating everything in sight lol, hard not to do, I KNOW!

I looked VERY similar to you at 7 weeks and I`m sorry dear...it`s bloating. (For some of us)Your digestive system slows down when you are pregnant and your belly pops out. If you have a small build it will be even more apparent. One of the funny things is I stayed the same size for like the first 4 months. Oh then the REAL bloating hit! I looked like Violet on Charlie and the chocolate factory. You can imagine my utter shock when they told me my son was 3 pounds! Drink lots of water it will help. Jen

I`ve read that the pregnancy hormones can tend to cause the abdomen to enlarge at the beginning, but I`m not really sure why or how. Don`t worry about it though, everybody is different.

well really i dont know, lol, when people say bloating its not the same like bloating after eating a big meal or something, its more swelling, because it wont be the baby. the baby would only be the size of a blueberry. anyway good luck
