I have had a missed miscarriage in the past so I'm prone to paranoia but I thought with second pregnancies you showed much earlier? I am bloated at the end of the day but nothing in the morning. I'm not skinny either, normalish weight, bit tubby but just within the right bmi. Should I be worried? Thanks for reading.

Entirely normal. I'm nearly 17 weeks with 2nd and only getting a hint of a bump nowI've had MCs too so can understand your worry.

Utterly normal. I got a bit pudgy about 16 weeks, then needed my mat jeans at 20 weeks. Suddenly my bump appeared at 22 weeks. With DD I didn't get much until about 26 weeks so it was earlier, but my mw has commented that my stomach muscles are quite strong still. Don't fret, that bump will appear x

Ah, thank you so much. Smile The closer I get to my scan the more reasons I find to worry!

I'm 14 weeks.

Some days I have a bump, some days I don't. Some days it comes on over course of the day, sometimes it stays pretty flabby flat.

I'm 32 weeks and STILL don't have a proper bump! I just look fatter all over. And I was the same in my first pregnancy.

Totally normal this happened to me with Dc 2. Similarly I had a mmc at 13wks, didnt find out until a few weeks later yet my bump had kept growing in that time Hmm
