advice needed!

Hey guys, ok so I'm estimating myself to be around 6 weeks pregnant. This is my first child and I'm 27 yrs old.  I have my first midwife appt on Monday (24th june). The problem is. .... I look about 6 months gone! My tummy had just blown out like a huge balloon waiting to burst and that's when I breath in! Ok, so I know I'm not going to stay flat but as I'm only still early I don't understand what's happening.  I'm not constipated I'm going toilet regularly, I am eating a little more than usual but that's because my appetite had just suddenly increased. Believe me I'm not exaggerating when I say how big I look! I'm naturally a size 10/12 but already my clothes feel tight. Apologises if im sounding a little delusional but I would very much appreciate it if anyone can Advise? Am I the only one this is happening to?? Thank you :-)

For me, my boobs were the first thing to change. I noticed them growing at 5 weeks and they felt huge. Perfectly normal for some people, though it is uncomfortable.

Maybe your further along then you think. Everyone's body has different ways of expressing being pregnant sometimes to. I bloated and looked pregnant at 5 weeks, my boobs have gradually gotten bigger slowly so I can't help you with that. Congrats on the pregnancy!!

Thanks guys.  I completely understand that I may have gas but my boobs have gone huge too! Im normally a size 34f and my bra had gone tight and green Veins have started appearing along with being very painful! I don't understand why I am getting these symptoms when I should be experiencing this at at least 10 weeks??

Its bloating due to gas, hormones make you produce more. Im 5 weeks with my second and already my trousers are too tight! It should settle down in a few weeks or so then you'll have a couple of weeks before your real bump starts to appear. I just went to bed one night with nothing at 16 weeks with my first and woke the next morning like someone had shoved a big ball in my belly! Was quite funny! Good luck with your pregnancy hunny xx

I had the same thing! It's gas!

Could be gas. That's really common at this point. Congrats
