this may sound silly, but i'm sure other women have thought this. i'm only 8 weeks pregnant and for the 5th,6th and 7th weeks my belly swelled alot, very quickly, but this week there seems to be no growth.

is this normal grateful for answer thanx

When I first became pregnant I felt huge the minute that test said positive. Then I didn't really grow at all for a while. I think I just barely started showing at 18 weeks. I'm sure everything is fine. Good luck.

In the first few weeks your body is going through a lot of changes and you can experience gas, extended bowels, constipation, water retention. All of which can cause your stomach to appear bigger. The actual baby is so tiny that he/she wouldn't cause your stomach to grow yet.
