Hey there mama! Congrats on your second pregnancy! It's totally normal to start showing a baby bump earlier during your second pregnancy, especially if you've already had a baby before. This is because your abdominal muscles and skin have already been stretched from your first pregnancy, so they may not hold everything in as tightly as they did the first time around. At 7 weeks, it's unlikely that your bump is actually the baby - at this stage, your baby is still really tiny! It's more likely that your bump is due to bloating, constipation, or just your body getting ready for the changes ahead. The hormone progesterone can cause your digestive system to slow down, leading to bloating and constipation, which can make your belly look bigger. To help reduce bloating, try to eat smaller, more frequent meals, avoid foods that cause gas, drink plenty of water, and stay active with gentle exercise like walking or prenatal yoga. Wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothes can also help you feel more comfortable. If you're concerned about your bump or have any unusual symptoms, it's always best to check in with your healthcare provider just to be sure everything is okay. But otherwise, just embrace the changes your body is going through - that bump will soon be home to your growing little one! Wishing you a healthy and happy pregnancy journey. https://invl.io/cll6she
