Q: Why Is My Belly So Big?

I am 12 1/2 weeks pregnant, but I look 5 months! Whats going on?
I'm in good shape , I eat right , and i'm not fat . But I have a big ol' belly!
3 months ago it was completely flat. I had an ultrasound and i'm not having twins. Is this normal? Anyone else out there have a huge belly with your 1st child at about 3 months? Rolling Eyes

Lol,

i was in the exact same boat as you. In good shape flat stomach and before I even knew I was pregnant my soccer shorts didnt fit an that is when I knew something was a miss that and a missed period. Needless to say I was also getting married 12 weeks in and my dress had to be taken out 2 sizes. Most if it is caused from bloating. When you had your ultrasound did they say you had alot of amniotic fluid. That's what happen to me.

Hope things go good

i'm going through the same thing. second pregnancy and started getting big around 5 or 6 weeks. I'm 12 weeks now and look 5 months along. The doctor said it's normal for a second pregnancy because everything's has been stretched out before. I hate it though, becasue no one else understands...my co-workers look at me funny becasue they know how far along I really am. very frustrating...I wish there was some way to de-flate!
