Baby bump at 12 weeks - seriously?!

[Lamby80]

I am around 12 weeks pregnant (dating scan wednesday), and i have put on half a stone and gone up a dress size already! My weight tends to gather around the stomach anyway but i have gained 2.5 inches around my stomach and about an inch on each thigh. My stomach looks huge! I am worried i am going to gain so much weight. It does seem to have evened off a bit now that i do not feel the need to each everything in sight, and i am going to start the gym tomorrow as i havent felt like going recently.

Does anyone else have this problem? I am going to be the size of a house at this rate!

Yes, but i only gave birth in June and i'm around 12 weeks gone, its not baby though, just er fat left over from last time :)

Yeah sounds familiar. But at this stage there is still a fair amount of water retention and the baby is still pretty small so you may find your bump changes shape and size over the next few weeks. I know mine did!

Could you be bloated? I was so bloated with DC3 that people were confident enough that I was to ask if I was expecting again between 10-12 weeks. But from 14 to 20 weeks my size didn't change much then it grew at a more gradual rate.

I could be bloated - i have been careful what i eat recently and have been drinking a lot of water! I am actually not so fussed about the belly weight, whats going on with the thighs?! ha ha

Hi,

I am now 13+2 and I have had a noticeable bump for a couple of weeks. I am a big girl and I have lost over a stone in the first trimester (BMI gone down 4 points) but it is my second pregnancy and I think my body just knows what to do this time!

Im already massive as well at 15 weeks, Ive had a bump for at least the past 3 weeks, I dont think its baby just water and everything pushing foreward lol but I share your worries about just how big im going to end up!!

I am 13 weeks and have quite an obvious little bump, keep getting jokes about twins or that it will be a 12lb baby! I was the same when I was expecting dd, I got big quick but by the end didnt look full term and she weighed 6lb 2oz so not big at all x

let me make you feel better I put on 2 stone by 12 weeks and everyone commented on how I looked 5/6 months pregnant fast forward Im now 32 weeks I only put on another 9 pounds and look smaller than my dates people ofter comment. Dont worry about half stone my weight fluctuatates my that much I notice each day sometimes so its def water also your going to get big anyway so might as well enjoy it and worry about it after the birth!

Hi I'm just about 13 weeks and I've got a bit of bump. No sure how much is baby and how much is crisps and cakes. I'm hopeful that I wont put onto much weight as time goes on. I think the best thing to do is accept what we all are and concentrate on the baby (and eat cakes)

both pregnancies I got very bloated in the first trimester too - and this time had put on 3/4 stone by 12 weeks, but then my boobs had gone up about 4 sizes in that time!

I've got nowt other than my usual flabby tummy which makes me look pregnant anyway.

Ah, don't worry. I thought I was huge (people told me I was...amazing how rude some people are when you're pregnant!) with my first and am again with my second now. We're all different and our bodies respond different ways. Just concentrate on trying to eat healthily and worry about your weight etc after baby! Besides lots of women get upset about not having a bump! Enjoy x
