Hello,
New here with quite few questions! I'm hoping for a baby within the next year or so.I'm in my mid thirties and it will be my first.
To start off, a bit about myself...I'm quite healthy, non-smoker,regular cycles, and no problems, Thank God. I'm 5.4" and I weigh 115 pds. I'm trying to gain weight, as I have been reading that I must, and I don't know if this is true or not but we hope the first will be a boy and to have a boy you must gain weight. Though personally I will be happy with whatever God gives me.
My question is this: because I'm relatively thin, I have a slight belly bump arlready. I am a 27 inch waist and a size 2 or 4. At times, esp when I'm bloated because of my period, I already look like ten weeks pregnant because all my weight is in my belly, on top of the bloating! But after my period, it "deflates" and goes back to normal. You can't see me bloated in my jeans or when dressed, however only when I'm undressed or wearing a tight shirt. I'll admit (as crazy as I sound) that secretly I just love my bloated belly and it makes me feel like i'm already pregnant!! I love just looking at it, rubbing it and thinking I'm pregnant!! Yes, I want a baby that badly!
But what I want to ask - does a pre-pregnancy belly mean anything? Like I said, I'm very round when I'm bloated and I want to know, does that mean anything about fertility or how i will carry the baby? Will i be all belly because of my thin frame? And why does my belly already look like a tiny basketball? Does that mean anything? Thanks!
