When did your bump start to show?

[rosiehull4]

Hello all!

I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with my first baby. I was wondering at what stage anyone first noticed that they actually looked pregnant as opposed to just being a bit bloated etc.?

When telling people I'm pregnant, they keep saying 'Oh well you don't look pregnant' even though I bloody well feel like I am! I used to do a lot of tummy/abs exercises prior to pregnancy so I figure the muscles might be holding everything in place at the moment.

I can't wait for my bump to pop out, and was wondering if I'm being impatient!

I'm 17 weeks with my second and my bump has been very noticeable for around 3 weeks, so much so that people are surprised when they hear how far I've got to go! I had a flat stomach and extremely good stomach muscles before falling pregnant as well.

I'm 17 weeks with 2nd and it's been obvious for weeks - like being offered seats on the tube even if I'm not wearing my badge obvious. Showed early with my first too. I looked like a whale by the end. People didn't believe me when I was 6 months and told them I still had months to go. I'm slim and short which makes a difference.

I had a bump at about 16 weeks with no.1, but earlier with my other 2...I'm now almost 16 weeks with no.4 and it's really obvious if I wear tight fitting clothes...I can just about hide it with baggyish tops...
The bump is much smaller when I wake up in the morning but expands as the day goes on!

I am short and I put on a lot of weight during pregnancy so I expect to be huge in a few weeks😳😩.

I'm 18 wks and feel a bit of a fraud when out buying baby stuff & maternity clothes today because I have no bump- even the midwife said so (thankfully she heard a very fast heart beat from baby so I'm slightly relaxed!) keep
Being told I have no bump and don't look pregnant- you want to scream "I DEFINATELY AM- KEPT IT SECRET FOR AGES!"....... want my bump 😕

1st one about 6 months. 3rd one I was obviously pregnant by 3 months!
