About 6 months for it to look like a proper bump. Im very big atm and still have a fat, blobby bit at the bottom. I seem to develop bumps overnight.

just starting to change now at 24 weeks.

I started to form a proper bump at about 18 weeks, by 21 weeks when i was having my scan i was pretty huge! I'm carrying quite a big baby though. I'm 38+2 now and the size of a houseGrin

Thanks for posting this ladymia, I was thinking the same thing. I'm 18 weeks and it feels like just my usual spare tyre or three. I have actually managed to give myself a bruise poking myself to see if I can find a bump under there.

28 weeks it stopped being 2 layers of fat! At 31 weeks it became proper bump like (as long as I wear knickers to hide the overhang!!)

Prob about 12-14 weeks. It's my second though.

At about 6 months. I didn't have much of a bump at my 20 week scan and some people hadn't even guessed I was pregnant at that point. Starting to look properly pregnant now at 7 months.

I'm 15 weeks and if I lie flat in the bath in the morning I can feel a small hard bump in there. When I stand up I have an impressive amount of bloat Grin

thanks everyone! i met a friend (she is 35weeks) for dinner this week and she said you'll see in the next week or so the bump will show.

i am not convinced! i am 13 weeks and just have a bit of flab.

I hated that stage, had so much bump envy. Mine was a proper bump at 24 weeks when standing up, and at 28 weeks it was a solid bump when sitting down. So nice not to just look chubby any more!

Between 15 and 17 weeks. Second pregnancy but my first one that got that far so my first bump, IYSWIM

PurplePidjin · 08/09/2012 09:17

According to dp, about 16 weeks.

In my head i just look like I've hit the pies.

In photos i look pg, and have from about 20 weeks.

Currently 28+1...

ladymia · 08/09/2012 11:24

i look a bit like i have hit the pies but that's mostly because i have! all these great ideas about eating only healthy things yadda yadda went out the window quite early on!

About 14 weeks, it's my first. Now 15 weeks & colleagues etc suddenly started commenting. Bit embarrassed as no one else seemed to show before 20 weeks so people keep commenting that I am huge for this stage Blush

GotMyLittleLamb · 08/09/2012 14:32

I never had a bump :( she arrived at 26+5 and you wouldn't have known I was pregnant. Have such bump envy now!!
