How big?!?!

I have just started showing. I am 15+4 today, but it was over the weekend that baby decided to 'pop' so about 15 weeks. From what I have read this is quite early on to have a bump!! Had to tell work today as it is so noticeable.
So, question is, does the fact I am showing early mean I am going to be mahoosive by the end?!! Any experiences?
Thanks!

I don't think it's too early, I remember I was about to go to my 16 week appointment and I told a lady at work I was pregnant and she said "oh I thought so! I thought I noticed a little bump!" So I must have had something going on! Your uterus rises out of your pelvis from 12 weeks onwards so perfectly normal to start showing at your stage, especially if you are slim to start with. Doesn't mean you will any more enormous than anyone else! Tbh I am 27 going on 28 weeks now and feel huge, doesn't help when people say "oh I didn't show until 8 months plus" etc etc!

It's still really low down at 15 weeks so if it's a proper bump it's probably bloating as well, which will go down. My bump got smaller before it got bigger because I was so bloated at the start, I am huge now though at 34 weeks. I catch sight of myself in the mirror/shop windows and am shocked.

I'm 17 weeks and have a noticeable small bump, I've been wearing maternity trousers for 2-3 weeks, I'm very small but this is my second and apparently this is normal. Just remember everyone is deferent and there's no right or wrong! Wink I love having a bump so the sooner the better GrinSmile

Congratulations Thanks

I was 6 weeks with DC 2 when I started showing! Yes, 6 weeks! Confused

I was fucking mahoosive! I was a size 8-10 before pg and I dread to think how big I went. It was mostly my bump (obvs) my arse and my boobs!

DS is 5 months now and I'm getting into 12 jeans but my boobs are still massive.

I am 15 weeks and 4 days and I have a very obvious bump! Someone told me I look like I'm 6 months today which made me feel great!! Not!!
I'm hoping it is going to slow down now as I don't want to get massive!! Lol x

I'm 13+4 today and I have a bump :) I'm about a size fourteen too so I'm not skinny but apparently it's normal!

Hi pink Smile It's so exciting that you've popped!

With DS I was really big...was measuring 38 at 30 weeks but then just sort of slowed down I guess...was 42 at 40 weeks so still big but not as bad as feared....looked 6m from abt 4 tho and ready to pop from 6! My bump this time is already big too so I'm expecting the same this time...I love it tho makes me feel really PG which is what we want especially Smile

Every pregnancy is different Smile
Ds1 I was teeny
I am pregnant with dd2 and I'm
The same size at 30 weeks as I was when I had ds1!

I'm 12 weeks and have been showing since I was 7weeks... So much so, that when I had my booking in appointment they thought I must be further along than my dates suggested. I had a scan and nope, was 9 weeks, one baby, normal amount of fluid around the baby etc. I asked the sonographer why I was so big then- she went "I don't know, fat?"!! It was hilarious. (Size 10 normally and I'm on the tall side.) DP keeps telling people it's gas Hmm, but it is a solid bump. People think I'm around 6 months gone.

I am a bit worried about how big I might get, but hoping I'll even out with other people! Been in maternity clothes since 8-9 weeks...

IBelieveInPink · 29/05/2013 20:45

Thanks ladies. Seems everything is normal :)
I was v bloated before, and I knew that was just, erm, wind! But this is totally different. Yay baby!
Best start practicing whale noises and beeping when I reverse!
