Exactly what it says in the title 10 weeks today and I feel like I'm 20 weeks! Only really noticed it because OH said look at your tummy looks like you're getting a bump! I've also put on 6lbs already since I found out at 4 weeks, but eating v healthy and keeping unhealthy food to an absolute minimum so where the hell has this come from 😂😂😂

Anyone else had this?? I'm hoping it's bloat and not multiples😂😂 although would be a lovely surprise!

Me! 8+4 and looking more like 20 weeks. Proper bump too! I have no idea where it’s come from as a) haven’t put on any weight and b) barely managing to eat anything- hubby very happy as he gets double dinner most nights! Slightly worried I will be massive when I’m actually 20 weeks...

@gruber it's crazy isn't it! I really had bad sickness so only been eating when I can and that's only healthy food so don't know where the weight gain has come from! I'm going to be a whale come 20 weeks😂😂😂

At that stage it'll be bloating, tends to deflate about 13 weeks and a real bump appear from about 18 onwards.

Bloating does look and feel like a normal bump.

Before 13 weeks baby is still tiny (lentil/ blue berry/ grape size depending on gestation) and your uterus is tucked down below your public bone low down in pelvis.

I think it's your muscles relaxing too, triggered by the hormones. Mine kind of give up as soon as they see a line on the test. "You won't be needing us for a while, see you in a few years!"

I had a proper bump from 15 weeks. I would then get bloated on top of that to the amusement of my partner.
