Hi everyone

I'm currently 12+5 with my first and just recovering from a hellish 5 weeks of morning sickness. Which lasted all bloody day and all bloody night! Was off work with it and as a result of all the sickyness my tummy feels very tender and swollen.

I was wondering when people start to get a baby bump?

I am a size 8/10 but have always had a wee tummy. People are starting to comment on my "cute little bump" but is it a bump?!? Or just my usual combined with swolleness from being ill?

I'm normally self conscious bout my body shape and this bump business is really taking up too many of my thoughts!

Thanks for any help :)

I am almost 16 weeks and feel enormous. Having said that I was at a bra fitting earlier and the shop assistant was shocked and said 'you don't look pregnant at all, let alone 4 months'.
My lower belly is usually concave but is definitely sticking out and rounded. I feel horribly fat right now but I guess it's only me who's really noticing.

The weird thing is, when I go to bed I have a huuuuuge bump and I think 'here it is' but when I wake up in the morning it's all gone. I think I'm having epic food babies.
I don't think it will be long though until I kiss my 26 inch waist goodbye

I am 13 weeks and have a bit of bloat around my middle but not a bump. If I eat loads, I have a bit of a bump going to bed but it's gone again in the morning. I've gained 4lbs and have ditched the belt on my jeans Grin.

Currently not telling work I'm pg so sucking my tummy in when talking to colleagues who are likely to be keen pregnancy spotters so it will be nice when I can relax and start letting it all hang out!

I am pg with DC4 - 15w, lost 1st and look enormous in the 'bump area'! I have been in mat. jeans since about 7w as ordinary jeans just cut in even though I am a size smaller than pre-pg Hmm.
