Anyone have a bump at three months??

I've just seen a pic of Chantelle Hough (?)'s baby bump ( the one now going out with Jordan's ex ) and it looks huge but the article says she is three months pregnant. I'm 11weeks so only a week behind her and look exactly the same as I always have - you would never know I was pregnant to look at me. Is that normal? Was anyone else showing by that early stage? As my scan approaches i'm getting really paranoid that I'm going to find out I'm not really pg I think. I know everyone's different but just wondering if most people have gained weight by that stage?

I'll try to link a pic but I am a computer loser so may not be capable Xmas Blush

I saw her and thought she looked more like 4.5 months. Having said that, everyone is different and with my first I barely looked pg at 3 months whereas second time around there was no hiding my pregnancy at only 8 weeks.

I saw that and the one of her in the dress. I am exactly the same dates as her and I am also massive. Made me feel a but better about myself as everyone I see at work seem to have tiny bumps even those a few months ahead.

with my first you couldn't tell I was pg till about 5 months

Oh I can do links, cool

That's reassuring Llareggub, I guess everyone is different. I'm just really surprised as she was one of the celebs I'd noted as being a similar stage to me so I thought she'd look similar, probably daft logic I know.
This is why I shouldn't pay attention to celebs

she looks big to me, more like 5 months, but if they say 3 months, that could mean 15/16 weeks rather than 11/12

horseynewmum · 13/12/2011 19:42

Mine started showing about 13 wks but i had lost weight due to hypersemis in this pregnancy so think thats why i showed early

bemybebe · 13/12/2011 19:43

"with my first you couldn't tell I was pg till about 5 months

Exactly the same here. I am only 13weeks with my second and I have a very nice round pregnant bump. First time did not show till at least 18-19 weeks and then it just popped out.

smartyparts · 13/12/2011 19:45

She hasn't really got a bump as such - I think she's mostly sticking everything out.

My bumps appeared at 20 weeks, although from about 12-14 I looked thicker around my waist.

toddle · 13/12/2011 19:46

I seem to think that she is about 15/16 as when she went public at x weeks I was the same.

She still looks human though I'm very envious I feel and look with death warned up!

Bibbo · 13/12/2011 19:47

exactly same here. with my 1st was Chantelle's size by about 22 weeks. this time round, am about that big already at 11 weeks. The whole lot just popped out more or less immediately this time!

Is it her 1st because if it is, I'm very surprised she is only 3mths. Wouldn't be like the Daily Mail to get any details wrong though would it....?! Hmm

Fizzylemonade · 13/12/2011 19:54

I remember going into a maternity wear shop at 10 weeks pregnant with my first child. I was incredibly embarrassed as I felt I should have been there when I was about 20 weeks.

The woman there laughed her socks off at me as my jeans were the fly button type and I could only fasten the bottom one. The top one had a hair bobble threaded through the button hole and looped round the button Xmas Grin I had to wear long tops to hide the fact I couldn't possibly fasten my jeans.

I think I was about as big Chantelle at 10 weeks. With my second I was as big as that at 6 weeks. And I was very toned before both pregnancies, now ... Xmas Hmm

Oh yeah why didn't it occur to me she's probably 5 months along and the DM just got it wrong!

I did. I was being offered seats on the bus in Italy at 9 weeks! First baby too. Managed to hide it at work for a few more weeks luckily!

yummicheddars · 13/12/2011 21:08

Omg now I'm worried. She is double my size and I'm 21 weeks with my second. I had worries there anyway about being small but sorry this takes pi*s I'm now extremely concerned about my size.

scarletforya · 13/12/2011 21:14

I'm 11 weeks and have the start of a bump but I was a chubber to begin with.

hester · 13/12/2011 21:16

I got offered my first seat on the tube at 13 weeks Blush.
My bump was HUGE - I spent months fielding queries about twins and diabetes. By about 7 months I plateaued and looked normalish (in a vast heifer kind of way).

Midwife reckoned huge bump = huge baby. dd was 7lb Blush Blush

saoirse86 · 13/12/2011 21:39

Look at this pic!

When I was about 14 weeks I was told by a waiter that he knew I wouldn't be having a proper drink due to the baby. Xmas Blush It might have been partly my enormous boobs though, sadly missed now!

She does seem very big though, I would've guessed 5 months.

yummi don't worry, like other women have shown, it differs. I'm sure everything will be fine. Xmas Smile

yummicheddars · 13/12/2011 21:43

I find out tomorrow at my scan and I'm going to mention it. Just so she measures and hopefully reassures me that all is ok

itchyfootedlady · 14/12/2011 07:37

She's probably just bloated, but it doesn't sound as good to say "how to wear maternity clothes: chantelle shows off her 3 month constipation and wind induced boating in a draped gold dress" :)

woopsidaisy · 14/12/2011 07:44

I am about 5 weeks, and I can already see that I am expanding! This is DC3, and with my other 2 I never went until 12 weeks before it was perfectly obvious I was pregnant. Think at 8 weeks at work the last time-they just asked me if there was something I wanted to share!Grin. Same first time round, was like Chantelle at 10 weeks.
Really want to get as near as I can to 12 weeks this time though.

RealLifeIsForWimps · 14/12/2011 07:55

Yummi - don't worry. You probably just have "abs like slabs" Grin. I was in normal clothes until 25 wks with DS. He wasn't a huge baby, (7lbs) but apparently the main reason is that I am long in the body, rather than the legs, so he had more space to stretch out lengthways.

Re these photos, I think she's just arching her bag and sticking everything out. I imagine they've also touched them up to enhance the bump.

yummicheddars · 14/12/2011 08:05

Thankyou, I don't think my abs are strong, was a size 6-8 before I got preg now a ten but never been toned. I'm quite short, well average. 5.4 so I haven't got that excuse. Well ill ask her this morning
