Just can't wait for The Bump!Grin I'm 14+2, and very bloated but no bump. What's everyone's experience? X

Prob around 20 weeks, but even then I could hide it with loose clothes. Apparently I have a long torso (I'm 5'5 so not hugely tall, but not tiny) and decent ish stomach muscles! I think bump size varies widely depending on your size, how much fluid you have, the baby's position etc

bunny just wait until you're 40 weeks, feel like a heifer and can't wait to push the bugger out!!

All the best enjoy your pregnancy Smile

I think about 15ish weeks I knew it was a baby bump and not just bloat, but to anyone who doesn't know me/know I'm pregnant, they probably wouldn't really notice, just think I have a little bit of a tummy.

CandyAppleFudge · 29/05/2015 08:47

About 22 weeks

rebbles · 29/05/2015 08:49

I have just started showing properly at 17 weeks. Before then my jeans didn't fit from around 10 weeks due to bloating so I just looked fat!

ollieplimsoles · 29/05/2015 08:52

I'm 20 weeks on monday and this week I have noticed an unmistakable show! a sort of 'hard' area lower down that pokes out and baby wriggles when I touch it haha

newbian · 29/05/2015 09:19

I'm 17+2 with my first and I'm still not really showing. If I wear a tight top it looks like I've had a large meal, but I don't look pregnant at all! But I'm tall and have a large frame so I think the baby just has more room to hang out on the inside.

I started getting something resembling a bump at around 17 weeks - before that I was just fatter so that none of my clothes fit but I didn't have anything to show so just had to wear loose clothes - I am nearly 22 weeks now and definitely have a bump, it's so much easier to dress!

bunny85 · 29/05/2015 11:48

BabyOnBoob, haha, I know! I desperately want a bump now, but when I get huge I'll desperately want the baby out! It's just me, I always find some new 'can't-wait-for'.

Now can't for for the bump and first flutters Smile

About 15 weeks. With no.2 about 10 weeks. Felt kicks with no.1 at 16 weeks so now I'm 15 weeks with no.2 I'm expecting them soon x

Snowflake15 · 29/05/2015 16:54

20 weeks, this was when I told work as I felt it was getting too big to hide anymore!

CarlPoppaJaJiggyJarJardoo · 29/05/2015 16:58

I didn't start to show till about 28weeks on all of my pregnancies.

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 29/05/2015 17:43

About 26 weeks.
This time, I am looking a bit fat at 16 weeks so will probably be earlier (although I am having twins).

brokencrayons · 29/05/2015 23:04

I was a teeny size 8 and didnt show until about 18 weeks! then didnt really look properly pregnant until about 30 weeks. Im 15 weeks with my 3rd and I look about 6 months pregnant already :)

MummyPiggy87 · 29/05/2015 23:21

14-15 weeks ive blown out! I've also started feeling the 'flutter' of the baby, and I know it's the baby as I put the Doppler straight where i feel it and the heartbeat is right there! My 1st I didn't get a bump till 17-18 weeks and didn't feel till then either.

GotTheKey · 30/05/2015 05:43

I am 16 weeks with my first and this last week I have started to show a lot more! It looks like a small bump now and it's hard! I normally carry weight on my bum and thighs and generally stomach is my slimmer area so think it's popped out all of a sudden!

Beckahjane · 30/05/2015 12:18

15wks, had gone from flat to huge over night!! And I just grew!! I was massive x

ceebelle83 · 30/05/2015 13:53

I'm 5ft 5 and size 12, currently 28 weeks. I think I started showing very soon after 12 week scan

bunny85 · 30/05/2015 20:37

Thank you ladies! Let's hope my bloated belly will miraculously transform into a baby bump very soon Smile

It's my first pregnancy and I started showing at around 15 weeks. Tiny wee bump, not really noticeable to the outside world but those who know me well could see it was there there. I'm now 17 weeks and it keeps growing but it could still pass as fat to anyone who didn't know Wink.

Sansarya · 30/05/2015 20:47

Had a small bump by 20 weeks but I only put on 10lb in total so never had a massive bump.

artisanroast · 31/05/2015 21:23

I'm 20 weeks and over the past week I have noticed a bump but I still don't think anyone else would guess unless they knew.

I am quite slender so my midriff just looks a bit thick but if I point it out to family/friends there is a definite baby bump.
