I am 11 weeks 4 days pregnant with my second child. I have not gained any weight yet and I am not really showing yet. But, for some reason my stomach just keeps growing! It's not a baby bump either, because it's not hard, I look like I have just gained a lot of weight. Can someone please explain why my stomach is getting so fat? Oh and I was a little overweight to begin with - 5"5, 160 lbs. Can someone help me out?

Hun chances are your uterus is growing up instead of out. Every pregnancy is different and you can expect to grow differently as well. You may find that you show a couple of months earlier than you did with your first one as well... being on the fluffy side as I am I could hid it until about seven months with my first, five with my second and only about three with my twins... so your growing and the baby is just pushing the fluff forward before it decides to show itself

Many women do not show until at LEAST the 16th week of pregnancy, and others not until the 20th week. If your doctor is not concerned, I wouldn't stress over it.
Now, if you were overweight, it may take even longer to begin to show. It is known that some overweight women NEVER show!!

I had a bump at 10 weeks and you could see I was pregent. I am really tiny was underweight when I got pregnant. But my friend did not show till 30 weeks. We are all so different

I'm 24 weeks pregnant, I have a belly, but its still kind of sqiushy, and only hard sometimes, like after I eat a lot. You can tell I'm pregnant, but my stomach just isn't hard, to me it just looks like I've gained a lot of weight, it bugs me sometimes, but I deal. Unless your doctor thinks something's wrong I wouldn't stress too much about it.
