Plus size mums.. what's your bump like?

[millyhopemum]

Hi Ladies,

I'm a U.K. Size 18 bottom (before I got pregnant) and now a size 20-22 at 20 weeks pregnant.
I've always had a bit of an "apron belly" and it's still like this now, I just seem to grow outwards and not very rounded.
My bump looks round and hard in clothing but naked it's really flabby and I don't see where baby could be in there lol.

It's a little disheartening that i don't look pregnant sometimes and just fat.

Just wondered if any plus size ladies had / have the same problem and weather your bump became more hard and rounded at all?

Also, will my size affect feeling baby? I can't be sure if I've felt quickening yet and not sure if it will be hindered by my shape and weight xx

I want to follow this as I'm only 5 weeks preg and am a size 20 currently so interested to see what us plus size mums bumps look like x

This is me near the end of my pregnancy. I'm an 18 (ish!) on the bottom.

I was a size 18 when I was pregnant and I felt the baby move at 19 weeks so not much earlier than you are now. There was a while I just looked like I'd put a but of extra weight on but I did eventually get a proper bump.

I was also around an 18, with the same overhang as you. I just looked fat until about 30 weeks and then from then I looked pregnant-ish. In my own eyes I never had a nice round bump, but I can see in photos that I did look pregnant in the third trimester.

Still had all normal movement feelings and sensations from 19-20 weeks.

That does make me feel better that you can be rounder as you progress.
Sotiredbutworthit your bump is lovely x

Guess I'll just have to hold out for the bump to form a bit more and feel that baby move.
I've got my 20 week scan on Saturday and just want to see little one move even if I can't feel it !

Ha ha! Thank you!!

Same and I'm on my 3rd I'm 8 weeks looked very pregnant wit other 2 aswell so don't worry to much....x
