I'm 12+5 and definitely still feeling like I'm just looking a bit fat. Tummy is definitely rounder but is not yet what I would call a bump and just looks like a pasta dinner.

How long before I can proudly show off a clearly-pregnant bump and not just look like a porker please?

With my 1st, I noticed myself getting bigger slowly. I took a photo about 9w then at 16w and I could see s difference in the photo. If I wore tight clothes could just about tell about 25w.
I'm a wheelchair user so a lot of time I'm in a sitting position so it was hard to see my bump very clearly. At 9 months it was huge, took a picture lying flat, but sitting in my wheelchair it didn't look as big.

I felt like I had a bump from about 9 weeks with this pregnancy (my second). I actually think a lot of it was bloating in retrospect. My sister's 3 weeks less pregnant than me and she had the same thing.

I'm on my 1st and have been very bloated ever since a few days before my BFN! None of my trousers fit me anymore and I'm having to be selective about the tops I wear - I'm only 7wks!

I'm 18 weeks and have a very obvious bump. It only shows when I wear a fitted top though, so I can hide it under a loose jumper or empire line. It really does depend on what you wear. I love my bump , which is sad I know Grin
