Everyone is different when it comes to symptoms, bloating included. For me, I was bloated pretty much all of my first trimester, but around 15-16 weeks it started to get better. Depending on the person, their diet, and lifestyle, they might start to feel relief sooner or later than I did.

Why does your period change dates?

The calendar is a man-made invention, your body has no way of knowing what date it is to know when it 'should' be ovulating or menstruating. When you menstruate is determined by your menstrual cycle, your menstrual cycle may be longer than a month (not to mention different months have a different number of days), menstrual cycles can also vary by up to a week or your cycles can be longer when you're stressed. You determine when your period is due based on your cycle, not the date.

Should you start showing at 11 Weeks pregnant?

There is no "should". It's just different for everyone. If it's your first, generally you show later, because your abdominal muscles are still untraumatized by baby. You show earlier if you are thin. Second and subsequent babies can seem to show MUCH earlier, like by 6 or 8 weeks even. A lot of that is bloating......

Could your belly change at week 5 of pregnancy?

There is no absolute answer. Some women get bloated just before a period and they will get bloated just the same but no period will come because they are pregnant so they stay bloated . Some women don't get bloated at all. I don't, lucky me.

Can you squeeze a pregnant belly does it feel like a roll of fat or is it solid?

Obviously this depends on how heavy the pregnant woman is to begin with. It will eventually become solid even if the woman had some fat on her stomach. If a woman is thin then her stomach would be more solid, if she has some meat on her bones then there will be a little softness but it's more solid than just fat.

How long does it take to start showing pregnancy when you're 4 foot 9 inches and you are very skinny?

probably REALLY soon!..if your really skinny people will notice if your stomach and the rest of you starts to get bigger..maybe 3 or 4 months you might show..I'm not saying a huge dramatic change but you will be the first to notice..others will catch on after a while. Im a skinny girl myself. And I started showing when I was 3 months pregnant. It wasnt so much, but I could tell it, and a couple of other people could too. But by the time I got to be for months, you could definitely tell it.
