Why do I look pregnant when I am not?!
Question: Why do I look pregnant when I am not?
I am 18 and when I go out into public people ask me if I am pregnant but I am not. I am tired of being asked that. I am not Fat my BMI is 18.6 which is almost underweight, I am 5 foot 6 and 115 pounds. Obviously me looking pregnant is not my imagination because these people keep asking me if I am. I look weird in my stomach area. I can see my bottom ribs but the lower stomach looks fat but it is firm. I run/walk everyday at least 5 miles, and the only thing I drink is water. So my questions, is this normal? Do you think their is some thing medically wrong with me? What might be causing it?

Oh you again.
Um posture? that's one of the main reasons. again try working on abs. maybe all the fat you eat ends up in your tummy.
also wear the right type of clothes to hide it.
I think it's just the shape of your belly. I have a friend who kind of has something similar going on. Her spine curves in really drastically but her belly kind of goes along with the shape.. She's kind of S shaped from the side and she's definitely skinny but her stomach sticks out because it's just the way she's shaped. But no I don't think you have a medical problem. I don't think anything is causing it, and maybe it's atypical but that doesn't make it abnormal.
You might just be tubby. Don't worry, I am too. And I am 5'0 ad weigh about 90 pounds. Sometimes it's bloating, other times because that's where all your fat goes. Every heard ''It'll go straight to your hips'' ? Well this time it's your stomache.
