Worried bump isn't getting bigger

[erised]

I'm 19+2, my bump popped at around 16 weeks and I can feel that the lower part of my tummy is hard but over the last few weeks I feel my bump hasn't got any bigger. You can't really tell I'm pregnant, I just look a little bloated and my old jeans still fit but I've see other almost 20 week bumps and they're very noticeable. I am plus size (size 16-18). I do feel baby moving a lot.

Anyone had this?

Hi, is this your first? I would say not to worry! I'm almost 26w now with my first and my bump has only just started to become obvious. Your 20w scan will give you some reassurance hopefully about baby! Bumps come in all different shapes and sizes as we all do :)

Yeah, this is my first baby. I know I'm probably being silly!

Mine didn’t get big for absolutely ages, I was really jealous of my friends. Then suddenly it popped and I felt like a whale and was sad i hadn’t made the most of being slim! Make the most of, it won’t last long

I always worried bout the size of my bump as I had friends that were pregannt at same time and they were so much bigger then I was. It also didn't help that people found the need to comment how small my bump was.
You'll will probably notice more of a bump in a few weeks times but if not, dont worry to much. Bumps come in all shapes and sizes

Don't worry! In both my pregnancies I began have a harder tummy around 15/16 weeks but my bump didn't really pop till later, with my first around 23 weeks I think. It's very normal to not show till much later on. I don't think it helps that on tv all pregnant women are shown with huge bumps but in reality most of us only have a very noticeable bump from 5 or even 6 months!

I wouldn't worry. I'm pregnant with baby number one and only popped at 30 weeks and even now at 35 weeks people are very surprised when I tell them how far along I am as my bump looks quite small.

Dont worry your bump will arrive. Enjoy the smaller bump while you have it, soon you'll have to say bye to your feet, getting socks and shoes on and picking anything up you drop lol xx

Hey I felt this as well and I decided that I couldn't tel the difference everyday in front of the mirror so my husband and I decided to measure it with a tape measure every week and record the growth. This helped loads as I could see the growth
