My first I didn't start showing until after 24 weeks and I was super skinny. My second I started showing at 16 weeks. It'll happen. :)

I agree. You're 5 weeks. There's nothing there to show pregnancy. Baby is 2 millimeters big and your uterus is still below the pelvic bone. You might be bloated, but that's not pregnancy. You'll show when your body is ready to. I didn't show till 7 months and I lost weight while pregnant. If it's your first it might take longer just because the muscles are still tight and haven't yet stretched.

I was very bloated in the beginning and started to get the slightest lump way down right above my pelvic area at 9 weeks or so. I still have the bloat sometimes but I'll be 15 weeks Friday so I have begun to show a little.

You won't show at 5 weeks and given this is your first baby it probably won't be for just a little while longer. Each pregnancy is different and women all seem to "pop" at different times. Don't think eating all the time will help with the bump. Just eat right and healthy and in due time your baby will let you know their around :)

you wont show at 5 weeks pregnant, you may be bloated but some women dont start showing until well into the 2nd trimester! im 16 weeks and started showing around 14.

i think for now as its so early, you should concern yourself with taking things easy because this is such an important stage of the pregnancy..

congrats and good luck :) x
