When did you get a bump?

Hello all, I have read a lot that suddenly your bump will 'pop' out and be more visible... I am 15 weeks 2 days and today my tummy has felt much bigger than previous days, but not sure if this is real bump or just bloat! Did your bumps pop out suddenly or appear gradually? And when do you think you first started to actually look pregnant?

First baby and approx 17 weeks I think it properly appeared - depends on your definition though! I'm very petite so it can't have many places to go!

BUT: I was getting very bloated and uncomfortable after every meal, it was horrid, I'd go from almost no belly to a 6 month belly 10 mins after finishing supper!
I worked out it was the iron in the pregnancy mutlivitamin tablets I'd started taking - iron has never agreed with me, and now more than every! Stopped taking them and my belly shrank right back down and no uncomfortable bloating feeling like my tummy would explode.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't get on with iron supplements!

I'm just making sure I'm eating well and a fair amount of red meat.

I didn't start to show at all until 35 weeks it just popped out overnight like magic. This is me at 35 weeks with baby no.1. I looked like I'd had a big dinner with baggy shirts on.

People often said wow you got fat suddenly- they'd backpeddle once I said im pregnant Wink
