the "bump" that you have suring the first 10 weeks or so is just gas and bloating...mine did the same thing during both pregnancies.

Don't worry! I had a belly for weeks 5-10 and then it disappeared and I was almost flat! It started coming back around week 12/13. I think for the first few weeks of pregnancy that belly we get is mostly due to bloating from hormones. Then at 10 weeks, the placenta starts to take over what the corpus luteum was doing and your hormones decrease somewhat, reducing the bloating and giving you a flat tummy for a while, until your uterus and baby grow large enough to pop out that bump!

I started to feel the same way around the same time. I think I was finally getting used to having a bump
