Pregnancy

14 weeks with soft slightly bigger belly normal?

I just look like I've gained a little weight reound my middle, it is still very soft and flabby really.

It gets harder and larger by the evening which I presume is just daily bloat.

This is my 2nd, can't remember anything about my bump with #1 tbh, don't know when it came or it's consistency.

I'm 13 wks and my belly is constantly bloated and has been for weeks. Everytime I eat or drink anything, I think my work colleges think i'm just piling on the pounds. Can't wait to actually look pregnant rather than this

14 weeks and this is exactly what I have (adn had last time). Ifyou know me, I look pregnant, if you don;t I just look a bit chubby round the middle.

yes this is me really, looks more like a bump by the end of the day. Will be 15 weeks on Friday. Have started worrying that it is not growing, but I think that's because I am making sure I constantly have something to worry about.

nunnie - I'm 16 weeks and it's weird - sometimes I have a big, obviously-pregnant belly, and other times, it doesn't look like anything more than a little bloating. I think this is the in-between stage, and this is my first, so I'm not too big yet!

Don't worry though, your bean is only about 4 inches now, so logically, your belly shouldn't be THAT big!

I am still in this "is she chubby/is she pregnant" stage (actually, probably just about coming out of it in the last couple of days - someone offered me a seat on the tube this morning )... I am 18 and a half weeks. If you know me though, i def look pregnant - my boobs have gone up 3 sizes!

Its my first though, which apparently means my bump comes a bit later...

Hi, I'm 14 weeks too and it depends what I wear as to how big I look, today with a stretchy t shirt I look obviously pregnant, in my work uniform I look fat!!
Nobody has dared ask me yet though - so it's not obvious to most, but those I've just told recently said they had suspected!

Can I join the chubby belly club? Am 15+5 and as tablefor3 says, only look pg if you know me; to strangers I must just look tubby. Also ditto others with getting MUCH larger by the evenings - freakishly so!

Hi I am new to mums net and this is how I feel - I had really sore brown boobs and bloating all the time and I have just gone from everything to feeling nothing - my tummy is not hard or anything and my boobs are not as brown and not sore anymore but then tomorrow they could be sore again - I am scared it’s not growing right or I have lost the baby without bleeding but I am guessing I would be in a lot of pain of I had - I have my scan on Tuesday so I am looking forward to that but at the same time scared about what they might find or not find.

Hi @Bailey30 it might be worth starting a new post as this one is quite old. Sorry you're going through this but if it's any help most of my symptoms disappeared around week 9. I'm now 13 weeks & only have slightly sore nipples & some digestive problems. Other than that I don't feel pregnant most of the time. My 12 week scan was absolutely fine & I was told as the placenta takes over symptoms can lessen. How far along are you?
