People say it's too soon to have a bump...

[mum2H13]

Sorry to be that cliche 'bump or bloat' but I'm asking more in depth, can people have bumps sooner? And does it depend on your body, uterus and number of pregnancies?? I swear, it's the beginnings of bump... it's hard and I have had to buy maternity leggings as if I wear normal clothes I get cramps. Also, stays when I lay down. But people say it's 'too soon' and 'it's just bloat'...

So I'll post three pictures, the first (dark blue top) is me with my first pregnancy at 16 weeks.

The second (leggings) is me now at 10 weeks with my second. (Yes I know it's probably too early....)

And the third is a picture of me a month or so back next to the 10 week picture (for reference)

Thanks in advance, please no rude or blunt comments!! X

I'm not sure whether I'm just bloated or bump - but it's pretty solid these days!

Photo is third pregnancy at 12 weeks, I was similar with my second! Ignore the poseyness of the photo -

I'm just rolling with it, bloat or bump I never feel more confident about my body than I do when I'm pregnant!

I thought this when I was 10 weeks. I looked just like you. It's definitely bloating as baby is far too low down to have a significant 'baby bump' as opposed to a bloaty bump. Either way, it's due to baby. As long as you wear clothes that fit it surely doesn't matter? I would just ignore other people and get on with enjoying your pregnancy. You'll soon be showing.

You look great in all pictures so try not to worry! It is too early to be a baby bump because at 10 weeks the baby is a few cm long and really low in your pelvis below the pubic bone. But the bloat/bump is because of the pregnancy and everyone's body reacts differently. It must depend on your body shape/muscle tone etc as well as number of pregnancies. I showed late with both of mine but definitely earlier with my second as my stomach muscles were weaker.
