14/15 weeks and just feel fat(ter)!

[scarednoob]

I had very few symptoms anyway and now even those have gone. No bump, just horribly tight clothes even though I've only gained 3lbs so far. Whilst I was lucky to have a decent 12 week scan, it still doesn't feel as if there is anything there other than a case of eating too many pies!

Is this normal at this stage?!

Totally normal. It does get easier. I hated this stage.

With my first I didn't show at all until about 21 weeks, got a tiny bump but just looked like I'd eaten too much. At about 23 weeks I got a big obvious bump pretty much overnight. It will look like a real bump soon

Same here. I'm 14w4d today and just feel fat (bump looks like fat at the moment) and don't feel like there is anything in me.

Same here too. I'm 14w3d going by my scan dates but apart from being a bit bigger due to some weight gain I don't have much of a bump, I presumed this was normal as it's still quite early days?

I am finding this phase odd, I stopped feeling like crap a couple of weeks ago and now I'm just wondering if anything is happening! I felt like it last week before my scan though and everything was fine. I have another scan this week as the baby wouldn't get in the right position for measurements last week so I'm hoping that will reassure me!

oh thank goodness it's not just me! i have regular "are you still there little baby" panics at this stage! thank you ladies.

Totally normal. My bump suddenly popped out around 19 weeks and I feel a bit less awful now.

Im 19 weeks tomorrow and bump has certainly popped out today! DP even commented on it today!

Thank lord its not just me. Have a friend who's pregnant, already looking as such (same stage), I look like I haven't stopped eating for weeks. By evening, it looks more 'bump' than fat, but only my partner and I can tell what it actually is. And all symptoms have gone, this phase is causing me far more anxiety then the first 12 weeks!

I didnt show until 28 weeks with my 1st child. I am now. Around 8 weeks pregnant with 5th and i am showing already. I think the 1st is usually later to show

I'm the same - I'm between 14+4 and 15+2 (they've moved my dates and I can't get used to the new one) and I've burst out of all of my trousers so have started wearing maternity trousers - but it's bum and thighs that are bigger as well as tummy! If I have maternity jeans and a tight top on then I do look like I have a small bump - but I think the clothes kind of shape it - when naked I just look like I've been at the Easter eggs! Can't wait for a proper bump as I just feel a fatty at the moment!
