I am 13+4 and I reckon I look massive, at least 4 months, if not 5. I know it is not twins as I have had several scans so far that have shown there is only 1 in there.

Is this normal??
Does this mean I am likely to be absolutely mahoosive by the end??

I realise I have little choice and i need to embrace the bump but I am a little embarrassed when people ask when it's due and I am only just 3 months gone.

I had a bump around Same time as you with my 1st and an instant bump from the word go with my 2nd an I measured large with my 2nd all the way up to 28wk I think. I was measuring 34wk and my bump didn't grow any more until I was 3wk behind measurements and grew normal after that. I had to tell ppl as soon as I found out due to my bump. But this time round (not a clue how far I am fin out morrow) I went to a lovely christening slipped into a skiny body con dress 3 days later I find out I'm expecting 2 days later bump and it's not stopped growing since actually shocked my family yesterday with the size of my bump and only known for 3wk morrow

I had abs of steel (another lifetime it seems) and was 6 months gone before I had a bump. Ballooned at 8 months and was ginormous at 9.

I still look 6 months pregnant (7 years on) had a crash caesarean which sliced through everything so have no nerves to pull in muscle.

Subsequent pregnancies appear as the pregnancy test stick dries.

Ds1 I was a fabulous size 8 and didn't really start showing til 20 weeks ish

Ds2 I was a size ten, no proper bump til five months ish

Pg with dc3. Only had ds2 10 months ago.
I'm a size 12 and 14 weeks pg and I'm massive.

I voiced my concerns to dh who simply explained it wasn't a baby bump I have now, it's sims the result of eating too much Chinese and Pepsi.Angry

Unfortunately he's probably right Sad

Everyone's different. Try no to compare yourself. As long as baby's fine, you shouldn't worry x

I'm 18+1 and my bump appeared in my 16th week...love it!

ItsMyLastOne · 02/05/2012 14:37

With dd I put on a lot of weight quickly but I remember that at my first scan when I was 16+3 I didn't look pregnant, but when we moved house the following week at 18 weeks I definitely had a bump.

This time I think I had a bump before I even knew I was pg. i'm only 9 weeks and I just can't hold it in. Especially after I've eaten - if I told someone I was 6 months pg they'd believe me. I don't know how I'm going to hide this till my 12 week scan! Confused

20 weeks and got a bump from the front, not so much from the side. It looks huge in work dresses but very small in jeans. My waist is no longer one of my best features- it has pretty much gone!

My first, I was a 10 pre-pregnancy and my bump started showing around 14/15 weeks, I'm now 19 and def showing. People at work swear I get bigger day by day. I'm into full maternity jeans and some maternity tops now.

With DD1 I was in maternity clothes at 17 weeks. I was big in the 2nd trimester compared to others but by the end I was looking like every other heavily pregnant woman - massive. We all just grow at different rates! Don't worry about it. This time round, I'm 31 weeks and keep being told I look big. I almost want to remind people that I wasn't exactly small to start with (size 16) so am not going to ever have one of those 'small' bumps!

MummyLuce · 02/05/2012 18:45

I was in maternity jeans/leggings at 10 weeks and was showing enough to get offered seats on the tube by 14...I continued to have a modest sized bump until about 30 weeks and then I balloooooned. I am now 33+3 and absolutely huge!
