how bumpy at 16 weeks?

[KatyN]

Hello,

I've just been reading the post about the lady with a do at 18 weeks and hadn't thought about when I might start to show properly!!
My dad is having a party when I'm 16 weeks (to celebrate his birthday, not me reaching 16 weeks) and I wondered if I'll be showing by then.. I'm not sure if I'll (still) just look fat?

I'm a week off of that. I'm going to go with "still look fat" in my case.

With my first, didnt have a bump untill about 6 months.
I am now on my 3rd, and Im huge at 17 weeks !! But dont look pregnant, just chubby around my waist!
Think everyone can be slightly different as to when they get a bump?

I started to get a bump around 15-16 weeks, thought it was huge at the time but looking back it was a fairly small bump! Meant I switched to maternity clothes though. Everyone's different and there's no way of knowing, maybe try to find something that will look good either way e.g. a maxi dress that could flow over any bump that appears?

I popped out yesterday. I will be 16 weeks tomorrow. I am fairly thin though (size 10-12)

im 16+4 today, with my 1st! (Pre-pregnacy size 10 / 12ish but nearer 12)

have been in maternity clothes since 12 weeks

no chance of wearing normal trousers /skirts anymore....
Can get away with loose jumpers and longer t shirts / tops still

To a stranger i look fat, to those who know me i look pregnant.
with a fitted top i look pregnant to anyone, with a baggy jumper i can still look fat!

With my pregnancy, at 20 weeks I had what was described by my friend as pre menstrual bloaty tummy. At 7 months I was getting a bump, it all seemd to happen quite quickly from there, but I was small all the way through.

I'm 16 weeks, 1st pregnancy and have a noticeable bump, have had one since about 10/11 weeks. was a size 8-10 before and none of my prepregnancy clothes fit. It's obvious I'm pregnant......

I'm 15 weeks with my second & I had 2 people stand up for me on the tube the other day!

With my first, I didn't have a noticeable bump until around 20 weeks I don't think.
