Pregnancy bump - what to expect?

[Veggiehappy]

Im 12+4 and a size 14 so it's hard to tell if im showing or just getting bigger as have been more loose with eating recently. My jeans still fit but ive noticed that strangely its my hips that seem to be spilling out of jeans now rather than belly and my muffin top is becoming more prominent!

Just wondered what will happen as i already have a muffin top. Will it even out to be one smooth bump or just stay thr same sort of b shape but get bigger?

Hopefully not getting too ahead of myself b4 scan this week!

It might be that your waist is thickening and so it appears that your muffin top is growing!

Everyone carries their bump differently so it's hard to say at this stage. I found in my first pregnancy the first thing I noticed was an increase in back fat before anything else (I'm a size 8 so not something I had much of before)! My bump was also always very low.

I was a 14 when I found out and for ages I just looked fatter in my opinion , as my weight gain is all over and was really bloated at the start! But now at 31+2 I have a proper bump that I keep forgetting is there 😂

I had a bump early on but until I was about 27/28 weeks, it was a B shape because of my pre-existing rolls lol! I now have a big smooth bump.

I’m nearly 17 weeks and a size 14. My clothes don’t fit properly now but my ‘bump’ is v low. It doesn’t look like a bump, it looks like my spare tyre has doubled in size and my waist has disappeared a bit. Not gonna lie I look pretty awful at the mo but I can feel my body changing and I think in a few weeks it will be more bump shaped.

Im currently in 25+ 5 weeks. I'm usually a size 12. I just grew sideways, boobs went huge and no bump until week 21.

I've noticed ladies who are slimmer show earlier. I just looked like I had a big meal and nothing else till weeks 21 and boom. Bump central. Now my bump is so big my boobs look tiny in comparison (I'm a 36E!)

My hips look so vile. I need control pants that cover hips only.

But I love my bump. It's weird I feel more confident in this weird shape I have now

P.s just like @Mrstobe90 my bump is a B shape due to previous rolls too lollll

I wear control pants as well because of my hips lol! We must be a similar shape.

I'm a 14 on the bottom, my bump is quite high and given I had a bit of a belly to begin with no one really noticed until I was 20 weeks, I just looked greedy until then 😂

I definitely widened at the hips first. I then started to gain weight at about 20 weeks (had HG and prior to then struggled to keep down water). For a couple of weeks I just looked chubbier and then suddenly at about 25 weeks I got a bump - it felt like overnight this hard, smooth bump appeared! It was very odd!

lol wow...amazing how different we all are. Thanks for sharing!! I feel like I'm definitely going to be B shaped for a while....good news it can turn into a nice round bump at some point though!! I think it's especially hard over xmas when I usually eat too much anyway... well as long as baby is ok that's all that matters!

With both of mine i got the “early pregnancy bloat” between 10 and 14 weeks that looked like a little baby bump, but then that disappeared and my real bump tatted to how around 26/27 weeks with my first and about 20 weeks with my second - I definitely looked pregnant at my 20 week scan with the second!

I started off just looking a little fat. Then I had a b-shaped double bump for a while! It smooothed out in the third trimester.

Now at 38 weeks my bump hasn’t widened across my hips but it sticks out so far it enters the room before I do! At one point it was level with my boobs, now it’s way ahead! From the back I don’t really look pregnant but from the side I look huge.

I keep thinking how much more can it grow in two weeks??

I have stayed the same size everywhere except my bump and the backs of my hips (is this the muffin top?) Only notice it when I look at myself from behind!

Im a 12 and I seem to put weight on at the drop of a hat when I'm pregnant.... First two pregnancies I put on 5 stones in each... And big babies (no gd) Shocking I know. I lost it all both times but it just goes straight to my bum, thighs and to start with looks like I've had far too many McDonald's... My bump both times was round but not noticeably a proper bump into 20 weeks ... Before that just very chubby looking 😐

I was a 14 when I became pregnant but I lost a lot of weight due to sickness / no appetite. I have only gained weight on my bump. I don't look pregnant from the back and my arms, legs, bum and face are all slimmer. My boobs are smaller too. I was worried I would put on a lot of weight as I've always found it difficult to manage my weight. People are shocked when they see me. You never can tell how you're going to carry.
