Question

Can how big someone gets in early pregnancy, mean "twins"?

I am only 5 weeks, and people have told me I look either more than 5 weeks, or they think I am having twins. I was a small girl to begin with. Pregnancy has made me want to eat LESS. But I do have a bit of a belly already. This is my second child, but people say even with it being my second, I should not be showing yet. Twins do not run in my, or my husbands family. http://tinypic.com/r/25p5ueb/5 that is my belly at 4 weeks. It has gotten a tad bigger in the last week. I had an ultrasound at 4 weeks, but even if it were twins, it would still be too early to tell. But besides twins, (and I know for a fact I am no more than 5 weeks pregnant because we have been trying for 3 months), Why would I be getting big already? I was like a toothpick lol

If you could see a sac and there was only one then you're probably not having twins. If you didn't see anything then it's possible but still your baby/babies would be the size of a poppy seed not taking up enough room to cause a pregnancy belly. Now in the early weeks I am PLAGUED with bloating, I too am pretty thin (I have a six pack) and this fades for a few weeks only to return after all of the bloating and water weight resides. If you want twins, I hope you get em! :) Congratulations!

emily, how have your eating habits been? I don't know yet if i'm pregnant, but no AF for 2 months so far. my belly looks very bloated, my eating patterns haven't changed much, but my exercising routine has. Good luck, and keep updating.

Before I found out I was pregnant, It seemed like I wanted salad everyday. And I usually hate salad! lol. But after I found out I was pregnant, food just makes me belly turn even thinking of it. I have been chugging apple juice and milk because I feel like I am constantly thirsty. I usually loveeeee sea food, but now the thought of it makes me want to gag. Ever since ovulation, I have been cramping and bloating. My CM got really dry for a few days, and I thought I was for sure out this month. My first sign I was pregnant, were my nipples got darker, and when I took a shower, the water hurt when hitting my nipples. I took 10 tests total, from dpo 8 until 15. Only 6 of which even had the faintest of faint lines at 12 dpo. Dont give up hope until the witch arrives! I gave up at 13 dpo with a stark negative with fmu.

What did they say at your ultrasound? Were they concerned about the bump? Maybe it's just extra water weight, but at 5 weeks I wouldn't think you'd be showing that much. Check with your doctor at the next visit.

Sounds more like pregnancy bloat, at 5 weeks evan twins are FAR to small to produce a "baby bump" they are still under your pubic bone untill around 12 weeks
