When will I look pregnant?

[Staceyk]

Ok for those of you who don't don't me, I'm pregnant for the first time, 11-12wks pg(due 24th Feb.
Now my question may seem daft, but as all my friends who have had babies were all very slim to start with size 8-12 they have had lovely little bumps from about 12wk stage.
I am a size 20-22, and have quiet a few large lumps & bumps at best of times, I am wondering will I ever look pregnant? will I get a bump at all or will it be camoflaged by my fat?
Any fat girls out there, or slim girls with fat friends who can help?

With my first I was about your size but as I am pear shaped, carried dd low and she was tiny - I just looked rounder... with no2, had lost weight before I got pregnant and I am very round and was in maternity clothes by about 17 weeks with a smallish bump - now have quite a big bump and look very pregnant at 28 weeks...

Midwife told me that you often don't show as soon with your first ..... have a friend who is as pregnant as I am - due the same week and she is hardly showing at all - very slim woman - figure she would be showing .. but nope!!

Take heart you will get a bump... I sometimes found a little earlier in this pregnancy - it depended on what I wore - if I just wore shirts a size or two bigger - looked like I had eaten all the pies - when I wore maternity shirts - I looked pregnant.... iyswim.

Do want to say - lucky you - no morning sickness.......

Thank you all

I am a size 20 atm. when i fell pergnant with dd1 i didnt show till the 9th month really. And even then it was hardly as bump at all. with dd2 i didnt show till around 7months. and then i just looked fatter (i was a size 22 then). Now i am about 11 weeks pregnant, not showing at all yet, dont even think i've gained a bit of weight. I just think that i dont have to spend loads of maternity clothes as my normal clothes fit for ages. But at the same time, it gets annoying as people dont belive you are pregnant, so u can rarely get seats on trains etc.
