Hi lovely ladies

So I'm just over 7 weeks and seem to be getting a tummy am I just getting fatter or is it the baby? On the scales I actually seem to be weighing a little bit lighter than normal so not sure what's going on?!? Please help I'm new to babies!

Probably bloating. It's common to get really bloated in the first trimester. The baby is still small and hidden behind the pelvic bone at 7 weeks.

Congratulations op Flowers

When does a bump usually appear?

LittlePeaPod · 16/12/2013 20:26

I got my bump at about 20 weeks. Reading through previous threads most people report their bumps appearing from about 18-20 weeks, unless this is your second or third pregnancy then it can be sooner.

Is it normal to feel so rough all the time though?!
