What Causes Child To Have Bloated Stomach?

My daughter is 11 years old, est. 4'7", weight 95lbs. My concern is that she is bloating in the stomach area. Looking like she is pregnant and never started cycle yet. She is in no pain, not growing in height but stomach increasing in diameter. What does this sound like to you?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello dear!
To me its probably due to fluid retention due to hormonal changes.
i would like to have your family history of menarche and also about the appearance of secondary sexual characteristics in your daughter?
I would recommend an abdominal scan to rule out any pathology.
Hope it will help.
Stay blessed :-)
