Should I be worried

Hi I am five weeks and four days pregnant and I have no bump not even a small on and I went to the doctor maybe a day ago and she said it is to early to hear the baby’s heart beat. I have seen other people talk about how they have a bump and can hear the baby’s heart beating.

Hey hun, it’s really early! I didn’t start showing until I was about 3 months and I didn’t hear heart his heartbeat until I was about 8 weeks possibly. My best advice is to dissociate your experience from what you see online! It will help you progress in this journey with more ease that your pregnancy is going just as it should. You should be able to hear your baby before or by 18 weeks which is when you should be getting an anatomy screening.

@Tt what is an autonomy screening? Is that when you find out the gender?

Anyone who has a bump at this stage is just experiencing bloating. Baby is as small as a poppyseed and your uterus hasn't really grown much yet.

Your to early to show right now and it is hard to hear a heart beat at five week ik your probably anxious but don’t worry to much 🩷

I saw the heartbeat at my initial confirmation appointment at 10 weeks. I didn’t hear it until my dating ultrasound around 15 weeks. The gender is typically around 18/20 weeks. If this is your first pregnancy, it will be a while before your bump shows. You can typically expect it to start developing around month 3-4 (12-16 weeks). Every pregnancy is different though, so try not to compare. There is a wide range of normal.

The earliest a heartbeat is detectable via internal scan is 6 weeks but even that depends on when you ovulated, and I didn’t get a real bump until well past 20 weeks with my first baby! 5 weeks you may not even feel anything yet so don’t worry you’ve got a long way to go x

That's only 2/3 weeks after conception, far too early. I'm on my 3rd pregnancy and only just showing a tiny bit at 13 weeks. A lot of ladies bloat immensely and they refer to it as their bump. Which it is technically just not so much a baby lol. If you Google where a foetus lies in the abdomen you'll see how far down and back it is. X

I didn’t have a bump until about 20 odd weeks. I had a scan at 5 weeks and didn’t hear anything but I heard the heartbeat at 7 weeks.

Heyyyy baby is to small at this stage and I usually don’t show until 7 months pregnant which is so weird I blow up out of nowhere lol every woman is different

Very early to show! Also heart beat doesn’t start showing until you are 6 weeks. At 5 weeks it’s literally just a yolk. Then at 6 weeks you can see a heart beat

@Olivia yes, that’s when they scan the organs!

I didn’t start clearly showing a bump as opposed to just bloating until around 13-14weeks and even that wasn’t a big bump, it was just clear that it wasn’t bloat. I didn’t HEAR the heartbeat until my 20 week appointment with the midwife, but from around 12 weeks they could see it at my scan. Don’t worry about not having a bump yet girl, some don’t get it until like 6 months, you’ll get your bump💓

I’m almost 20 weeks and only started showing a bump a week ago! You’re very early don’t worry! Could be a few months until you show! X
