I just looked a bit flabby at 14 weeks, don't worry. Bump suddenly appeared at 17.5 weeks!

lbooth89 · 08/03/2015 12:47

I'm 15+2 and don't have a bump - just look fat! I heard some people don't start to show until 16 - 20 weeks, sometimes later?

lbooth89 · 08/03/2015 12:53

yeah maybe mines going to come a bit later. x

People don't tend to show till after 16 weeks and it can take up to 28 weeks for some people.

I started showing almost immediately but I'm very underweight Angry

lbooth89 · 08/03/2015 12:55

I didn't show until 28 weeks (2 weeks ago). If I wear certain non-maternity clothes now then I still don't look pregnant!
It's sad, I see so many huge bumps and I want one!!
For me I think it's because I have a big skeleton and so my baby has tonnes of room in my hips/ribs.

I'm 33 weeks and barely showing, if you have extra weight on and it's still this early it's normal not to have a bump yet, baby is still totally tiny.

BreeVDKamp · 08/03/2015 13:01

Me at 28 weeks (sorry for close up, wanted to crop out my head!). Suddenly popped!

Choccywoccydodah · 08/03/2015 13:24

Don't worry, I didn't get a slight bump until after 20 weeks with my first!! Didn't go up a size until 25+ weeks (usual size 14). Never bought maternity clothes or anything!
Measured small at 34 weeks, ds born 40+2 a big 8/13! He was hiding under my ribs they reckon.
All I wanted was a bump, then after it came it was in the way lol and it wasn't very big!

I'm quite skinny and started to feel my trousers getting tight at 7 weeks, but didn't have a bump until about 16 weeks, and even then you could only see it if I was wearing tight clothes. Could have hidden it until about 20 weeks if I wanted! Depending on what I'm wearing I sometimes still just look fat at 27 weeks.

I'm also 15+2 with no bump I just look like I have a bit of a spare tyre (which I do!). would love my bump to pop out So I look pregnant and not just chunky!

Bogal · 08/03/2015 14:03

pinkie87 ditto! Smile

pinkie87 · 08/03/2015 14:22

Haha glad to know someone feels my pain bogal Smile

Don't worry too much about it. I wasn't showing at all until 20 weeks and then BOOM! a bump overnight.

blowinahoolie · 08/03/2015 15:51

I've had a bump for several weeks now, am nearly 16 weeks. But I've carried two successful pregnancies already, so it happens much sooner! I look huge already :(

lbooth89 · 09/03/2015 18:19

I had nothing at 14 weeks first time round, I didn't start showing til 24 weeks. The bump has come earlier this time (23 weeks and massive!) but I still only really looked a bit rotund at 14 weeks.
