How quickly did your bump grow?

I'm 14+4 and someone I saw on Friday saw me today and insisted my bumps grown!

I'm not even sure I have one, think it's just padding where I've stopped dieting and exercising!

Tho the jeans I wore yesterday were too tight and uncomfy!

i was in maternity trousers by 12 weeks

had strangers commenting on my bump before 20 weeks, so by 20 weeks it must have been really obviouse & definitely not fat!

I definitely had something going on a couple of months ago (week 22+3 now) but mine has developed a habit of growing considerably over a weekend. I'll put the same skirt back on on Monday and it'll be noticably tighter. I also outgrew my trousers about 4 weeks ago in the space of a week or so.

I was in maternity jeans at 17w and at about 21/22w it grew overnight :)

Mine did grow steadily from about 13w to 20w, even my dad noticed bump changes!!

at 16 weeks when I saw my inlaws I was definately showing but could still get into my size 10/12. A few weeks later I couldnt get them on and I am now in my pre weight loss clothing, although I can get my size 12 leggings on under my bump.

22 weeks tomorrow and it seems to grow every week. I had a noticeable bump from the second month but I think a lot of it was bloating and about a third was actually baby.

Mine started really growing around 16 weeks. Now I feel like a hefalump and can't comfortably cross my legs Grin

I was already a bit chubby so it took a little while for my belly to turn to bump IYKWIM? But I'm now 17+5 and there is definitely a bump there. It seems to have popped out a bit recently though, I've just been off work for a week and when I tried to put on my work trousers for a meal out on Sunday they don't fit anymore!

I'm 22+4 and mine seems to have had a bit of a growth spurt in the last 2 weeks. Before then, it was sometimes noticeable, but I suspect a lot of the time was mainly bloat. (I thought I was thicker around the waist straight away, but other people probably wouldn't have noticed).

I'm only 9 + 1 and already in maternity jeans! Not because i have a bump but because of the bloating - which does actually make me look like a I have a bump by around 5pm!

I showed early in my first pregnancy - looked like a proper bump by 14 weeks, think it will be even earlier this time! I am quite slim though (although not as slim as I was before DS1!) and sometimes bumps show quicker on slimmer people.

On the other hand, my boss claims that she didn't show until she was 22 weeks and she is very slim. I wasn't around then though so not sure i believe her!

i had a bump at 12 weeks, deffinately looked pregant at 16 weeks and now at 21 weeks look very pregnant (3 people asked me when i was due ......erm october Blush). I showed early with DS too so guess its the way i carry (am short and size 10 normally so no-where for it to hide).

I'm nearly 23 weeks and definately have a bump now. Although not much of one - I'm not even in maternity clothes yet. I have jeans that were snug on me before I was pregnant that are loose on me now. I actually lost just over a stone in weight since I became pregnant due to all the sickness I've been having although I've put about half of it back on again now lol.
