Just had my first being stopped in the street and congratulated :/ I just stuttered and said thanks, but thank goodness my scan is Thursday so I can tell people!
Between the increase in chest size, pregnancy hormonal acne and bloating I really can't hide it anymore, doesn't help I was already a size 14 to begin with, so worried at the rate I'm expanding!
Can I ask how everyone was/is faring at this stage?

My bump actually deflated quite a bit shortly after 12 weeks when the bloating stopped and then when it started to get bigger again it was much firmer.

The lollipop lady had guessed by the time I was 6 weeks. I'm now holding my 5 week old in my arms. He was 10lb 10 when he was born Shock Grin

Oh god tweenage lol! and fatty Shock I am already out of all my clothes but it does lack shape and mostly looks like blubber :( so dreading my scan on Thursday I'm sure there will be something to say about the weight I have put on already! Did people find it evened out after a time?

I put on nearly 2 stone by the time I had my booking appointment. I was huge! And I couldn't stop eating so I'm now a size 16.
I stayed huge and had a huge baby. Some people even out though, even with my others two 7lbers I put on loads at the start, then it didn't seem to grow for a while, then put loads on at the end!

I lost weight in my first trimester (third baby) but I had still outgrown most of my clothes and had a bump. I have continued to grow and now I am 8 months pregnant my bump looks huge but is measuring where it should be according to the midwife. I was a size 10 to begin with and my size increase is all bump. I have even managed to outgrow some of my maternity clothes but I have only gained 23lb in total which isn't excessive apparently. My second baby was 10lb and I was huge with him too.

I am the same. I have a definite bump starting as down low it's very solid and doesn't disappear in the mornings. I have my 12 week scan Thursday too. I can definitely feels uterus as have been 'tracking it up' since first felt it at 8 weeks. It seems so high though!

I'm wearing normal work trousers with a bump band and button undone. Out of work it's dresses and leggings. Looking forward to the weekend when I can start showing my bump!

I'm a size 10, so bought some size 12 trousers as thought it was too early for maternity, but they looked awful and way too big around hips and didn't really fit around bump, whereas I think the mat trousers looked less obvious.
