Since we are also trying to conceive, I've been reading about this a lot. I think the baby is too small in the first month to show, but bloating is very common because of hormonal changes. I hope we both get our positive results soon!
I remember looking in the mirror every day in my first month, and I felt so excited thinking my stomach was growing! But it was actually just gas and bloating from the new hormones. The real, beautiful bump usually doesn't show up until the 4th or 5th month!
I felt the same way in my first month, my stomach felt so tight and swollen! But like everyone says, it was just severe bloating. Are you also feeling very gassy or is it just a heavy feeling? I'm in my second trimester now and the real bump is finally starting to show.
Oh sweetie, I completely understand why you are looking for that baby bump already! But in the first month, the baby is just the size of a tiny seed, so any tummy increase is usually just bloating. Don't worry, your beautiful bump will show up in its own sweet time!
Biologically, the uterus remains pelvic in the first month, so there is no real stomach growth from the pregnancy itself. Any change is typically due to digestive slowing and bloating. If you have severe bloating or discomfort, it's always best to ask your doctor for advice.
No, stomach size doesn't increase in the first month, but bloating is common. However, if you are feeling any severe abdominal swelling along with sharp pain or bleeding, please consult your doctor immediately. It's always better to be cautious in the early weeks.
Not at all, dear. I was throwing up so much in my first month that I actually lost weight and my stomach went in, not out! Any slight increase you feel now is just because of progesterone causing gas and bloating. Just focus on resting and drinking fluids.
