Size 14/16 baby bump?!

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and my tummy already feels firmer but I just can't wait to have a proper bump! Does anybody have any idea when I'll start showing? This is my first baby and I know it's not something huge to be worried about but until the past year I've never gone above a size 12 so always presumed I'd had a nice round baby bump when I got pregnant, but now I'm slightly worried! Thank you in advance!

I was 14-16 when I got pregnant. People kept saying I was showing early on but I swear all that happened was the firmness where the baby was pushed my muffin top up! I think it started to show about 13 weeks but undeniable by 20. To be fair, my coats still fit and with them on I don't think strangers would know.

I wouldn't worry too much! It'll be fine :)

Im a size 16 n could see my bump at 20 weeks. I think before then my fat hid it lol.

I loved my bump at 25-30 week mark. And miss it now lol but love my LO even more Grin

Ahh thank you :) HaveALittleFaithBaby to be honest I'm worried that mine'll just look like the fat being made more obvious haha! thank you both you have made me feel a bit better Grin

I was a 14/16 before but it all depends on your shape hon. I carried quite a bit of weight around my tum AND I'd lost a lot of weight so my stomach is pretty wrecked anyway. Sad You could tell it was a bump (and not fat) at about 22 weeks and I'm now 25+5 and its definite now. Unfortunately, what people can't see (because I cover it up well Wink) is that my bottom bump bit is all the saggy way skin goes when you've lost weight? So it's fairly unattractive when im nude. Luckily no one other than DP sees that though lol.

I am the same size op and I do have s bump but it is exactly the same place as my fat so it is not obvious to anyone ! you can tell if I am naked but not that desperate to show it off ! I am 21 weeks with first.

I think it's definitely an individual thing. I'm a size 14 and my ex fil guessed I was pregnant at 8 weeks because my tummy changed shape from flabby to rounded! I definitely had a full on bump by week 14. 22 weeks now and I have to say I much prefer my shape at the moment as it's distributing the fat across a larger area! xx

I'm a size 12-14 normally & quite tall & with this baby and DD I went through a phase of feeling thick waisted & fat at about 16weeks but by 20 weeks I started to have a definite bump, which I much prefer! I'm now 30 weeks with a good ole bump.

just depends on your shape

i was a size 14 when i got pregnant, have been showing for a few weeks now (I am 20+1). In fact, one of my students said to me today 'Oh my God Miss, you look massive now!' Ahhh, bless the sensitive little soul.

Stepawayfromthesweeties · 28/01/2013 20:05

I'm 21 weeks tomorrow & a size 14/16 too. I only really started to look pregnant in the last couple if weeks. Although the baby has moved my overhang/muffin top area upwards so that's the bit that sticks out the most. I got a bit paranoid about it but the midwife said its fine just baby making room for him/herself. I'm loving that my tummy's starting to get harder, I think the last time it was firmer was when I was at school (a very long time ago Grin)

rainand · 28/01/2013 22:45

I'm size 12 and also 1st time. Tummy started showing around 18-19 weeks.

IcingOnTheNappyCake · 29/01/2013 12:32

Ahh after reading these I really wanna see what I'll look like in 5 weeks time (I'll be 20 weeks then) really hoping I'll show early! Grin
