Im 25+3 and feeling sad I dont have more of a bump (am i crazy)

For as long as I can remeber ive always dreamed of a big bump in pregnancy.
I never factored into it that in already a size 22 and have a fair size belly anyway.

I know girls who're pregnant now and arent as far along with bigger bumps Sad

Will I pop do you think? I know ive still got a while to go. But just gets me down that i look extra fat and not preggas.

Ill attach a photo of my "progress" (sorry its naff photos)

Feeling sad :(

Seriously there will come a point where you just think ‘my bump is soooo huge, I just want it gone’ so I can bend/ roll/ just generally move. It will come, honestly.
There is definitely a bump there.

It will happen. You just have to give it time.
With my first pregnancy I just felt fat for a long time. Then at around 6 months I suddenly felt I looked pregnant, then as I got to around 34 weeks I felt glorious and loved my body. As someone who has been overweight for a lot longer than I'd like it felt amazing to look down and see the bump instead of a jelly belly (short lived once the baby was out 😂).
This picture is of me near the end.
I do think it will happen but some times it takes longer on larger ladies. I say this as a size 22 myself.
I'm 13 weeks now and look fatter than normal but definitely not pregnant. I think it's bloat and probably a bit of bump pushing my fat out further, got a slim person on my Facebook who is also 13 weeks and she's been posting pictures of her little bump.
It is what it is, but we'll still have gorgeous babies and that's definitely something to concentrate on.

Im a size 16 and didnt really have a bump as such until about 24 weeks! I could tell as my belly wasnt wobbling but no one elss really could. Even had a very slim person at work yesterday say 'you dont even look pregnant!'i was so annoyed!

I had no bump at all until 20 weeks and was a size 8 before falling pregnant, some babies just hide themselves well for a while!!
I definitely had a huge bump by the end (and I didn't even make it past 35 weeks), your bump will come!!!

Definatly looks different when I look down! Its why I get so thrown off when other people cant see it. Grin

I'm 28+5 and started this pregnancy as a size 18/20, although my bump has been obvious to me and my partner for ages it's only in the last week or 2 it's been really noticeable to others. I've definitely suffered from a bit of bump envy as well, seeing ladies with lovely neat bumps and me with my 'B' belly feeling fat. I've found that maternity tops that come in snug under the boobs and then flow out help as they make the top of my bump obvious and don't cling to the flabby bits under it like t shirt type tops tend to do.
I'm definitely getting there though bump wise and I'm certain that pretty soon you will too :)
