Bump showing in first pregnancy

[CurvyBlonde]

Hi ladies,

Pregnant with baby number 1 and I'm intrigued as to when you started to 'show' a visible bump? I'm a size 16-18 so 'curvy' and I'm hoping I don't just look fat for ages!

I'm usually a size 8-10, in my first pregnancy I didn't have an actual bump until I was about 21 weeks when it literally seemed to just 'pop out' overnight!

At the time I was going to the gym a lot & doing sports- I remember the consultant saying that it was my strong muscles/abs keeping everything in until it could do it no more!

Started wearing maternity jeans etc from about 22 weeks.

Now with number 2 I'm 10 weeks & just feel bloated, at times thinking I've got an actual bump!

I was a 12 before our first and I quickly grew out of those but in my lovely mothers words, I just looked fat until 6 months, when I started to get a round bump that looked like a baby bump rather than just a big bloaty belly. I'm pregnant with our second now, early on, hoping I get a nice bump sooner

I was 5'5 size 16 bottoms 14 top, didn't show til about 25 weeks.

I didn't start showing until approx. 28 weeks. Everyones different though.

I'm a size 16 on the bottom half - I stopped fitting into my jeans at about week 13 or 14.

I'm now 20.5 weeks.

In photos, from the side on I plainly have a pregnancy bump, but from the front I just look a bit podgy.

My shape changes amazingly from hour to hour though - I can wake-up feeling pretty neat, and then by early afternoon I'm disgustingly, painfully, bloated, like an overfilled sausage skin.

I'm 13+5. No bump, but my water retention goes up and down depending on what I've eaten. My hips have spread though and so has my arse! I was a size 8/10. Size 8 jeans are going nowhere near, size 10 I'm having to do the bobble trick.

Going to order a couple of pairs of baggy harem style pants from new look next week, hopefully these and a few tshirts and leggings will see me through the summer! Just feeling lumpy at the moment! Not mentally accepted the body changes quite yet!

I'm between a 16-18 (more of a 16 now) as lost quite a bit through being sick, I weigh just under what I was before I got pregnant now, I am 20 weeks on Wednesday. Bump has started looking more bumpy in the past week or 2, from the front I just look a bit podgy but ok from the side :)
