When did you notice your bump?

23 replies

crazycatlady82 · 19/04/2015 11:31

I am 14 weeks today with my first, and very slender but husband kindly said today - oh you have a real little bump there!

I have put on 2-3lbs above my normal weight. I notice myself my boobs are massive and my stomach is slightly bigger than it was but when did everyone else notice these changes?

I suspect I will still get 2-4 weeks out of my own clothes.

Xx

Everyone is different, I thought my bump was big at around 18 weeks, but looking back at pictures I look like I had just had a big meal. My husband always comments on the size of my bump because he is used to seeing a flat stomach.

I found that I was in maternity jeans from around 16 weeks as my normal jeans felt too tight and uncomfortable. Found that otherwise leggings and dresses limited having to buy maternity clothes.

I was about 14 weeks both times when I noticed it myself. Most other people (other than DH) didnt really notice until it was about 18 weeks.

I was 16 weeks when I noticed my bump. About 12 weeks when I needed new bras though. I'm wearing harem pants or leggings/jeggings rather than invest in maternity jeans just yet. I've put on about 8lbs so far.

Quite early, before my first scan. My bump was twins.

Iloveonionchutney · 19/04/2015 12:45

I'm 15 weeks and already have a noticeable bump, with my first I was a lot later showing but I feel massive already this time.

I was noticeably pot belled at 7 weeks. By 14 weeks o had a recognisable bump if I wore tight clothes. But I was all out front and got massive at the end. This time round I doubt I'll show properly till 20 weeks.

I am 15 weeks. I have 2 pairs of jeans I can still wear - they are both from zara so a little on the generous size anyway! My boobs are massive (from an A cup to a C cup)
My thighs and bum have just gotten flabby though as I was so sick and stopped my usual training but ate carbs and chocolate WinkWink
Hate my ass being huge and wobbly but the rest is fun and normal! Reckon I have another month left before I m into maternity gear proper but most of my usual clothes don't fit - I can just go up a size tho.

Ist baby, not until 12 weeks & we didnt tell anyone until then,2nd baby much sooner, 10 weeks, 3rd baby and this one about thesame. Make the most of it!

lauraa4 · 19/04/2015 19:46

I'm pregnant with my first and had a noticeable bump at around 15/16 weeks :)

Rebecca1608 · 19/04/2015 20:24

I was in maternity jeans by about 12 weeks but mainly due to the size of my arse. Didn't really get very bumpy until around 20 weeks. People I didn't know very well started properly noticing it about 26 weeks and I was able to take off my "Baby on Board" badge and still get offered a seat.

sianihedgehog · 20/04/2015 19:06

I was bigger around the middle from about 8 weeks, but my bump suddenly popped out overnight around 18 or 19 weeks.

squizita · 20/04/2015 19:37

17 or 18 weeks. Just looked bloated before!

pinkie87 · 21/04/2015 08:33

about 17 weeks.

BuggerLumpsAnnoyed · 21/04/2015 09:18

I can't remember with my first but I've gotton very pot bellied from 7 weeks Hmm
I'm now 9 weeks.

And that's not just me thinking it, people have been asking me since then due to my belly so I've just told everyone!

avocadotoast · 21/04/2015 09:34

Around 20 weeks I think. Before that I definitely outgrew my jeans (hair bobbles are a wonder for extending wear!) but I just looked a bit more chunky than usual.

I needed new bras at 8 weeks though Blush

Stinkersmum · 21/04/2015 09:42

Bump is looking apparent now - I've just turned 15 weeks. Started wearing maternity trousers a couple of weeks ago though as my usual skinny jeans were just too uncomfortable. Bras are another issue. I've gone from a DD to an F and I don't think they're stopping. DH is thrilled.

ImpatiencePersonified · 21/04/2015 11:55

I'm a bigger lady (size 18-20) and can honestly say I went to bed at 15 weeks 6 days with no more than my normal lard, work up at 16 weeks and it looked like someone had switched my flab to a pregnancy belly.

Totally mental and at 17 weeks now, I can see it more and more, albeit with the flab on top.

Doesn't make sense when you think that fidget is only the size of a baby turnip - must just like the extra leg room Grin

scarednoob · 21/04/2015 12:08

i'm 16 weeks today and no sign of anything except that my jeans are too tight now. i am sure my massive apple belly is stopping it from showing :(

Toothfairy87 · 21/04/2015 17:12

Hi crazy cat lady :)

Everybody is so different I have come to learn.. Just roll with it because everyone differs ... But for me (I'm 5 mths now) I definitely look pregnant with a definite shaped round bump.. It got noticeable a couple of weeks ago... Before that it was growing steadily I suppose but then iv always been a bit bloated and probably water retention too... So I alwas had a bit of a bump anyway from earlier weeks ...

Fuzzyduck21 · 22/04/2015 09:32

I would say 14 weeks there was a little bump. 12 weeks was bloat but still looked bigger than before. It really came into its own around 17/18 weeks but still obviously not huge! It's wonderful x
