When did your bump start to show?

Just that really. DP and I were discussing this the other day, and he was asking me when I'll have a bump (he's also asking why it's taking so long and why baby isn't here yet 🙄😂 - he has 32 weeks to wait!).

I don't know if it makes a difference the size you are when you conceive (I expect very slim women show quite quickly), but I was a size 12-14 when I conceived/now.

I'm 8 weeks.

I had a little bump at 14 weeks. I'm 16 weeks now and in the evenings I am huge, but not so much in the mornings. I can really feel it getting harder now, which I think is your uterus moving up and above your pelvis.

I'm a size 8, and had a teeny bump. Myself and close friends/family could see it from about 20 weeks but honestly I could just wear something really oversized at 40 weeks and people didn't know I was pregnant. I always remember my partners friend saying "you're pregnant?!" when I was 35 weeks. Grin Dunno where that boy was hiding as he wasn't a small baby!

1st: 20-something weeks. I was teeny tiny.

2nd: about 8 weeks!

I had a tiny little bump at around 20 weeks, which went on to pop out massively around 26-27 weeks.

I'm usually a size 8 and only short at 5'2, I'm currently 13 weeks and I've had a 'bump' for a couple of weeks but only now do I feel it's real! The bloating has calmed down quite a bit so now it's just a small bump. I definitely can't wear my normal jeans anymore!

Size 6-8
5’5

First baby quite soon but was all bloat, my bump at full term was tiny.
Second, was around 30 weeks by time I got a small and even at 40 weeks it was small.
Third baby was around 30 weeks again.
Fourth, around 31 weeks.
5th baby I kept a secret from even close family including my parents until 29 weeks and no one had even noticed I was pregnant.

Size 6-8 5ft4 and started showing around 15-16 weeks. But I did go on an all inclusive holiday at this time and I enjoyed every bit of food that I could, so I reckon it might have been more chocolate cake than baby. I was also in a bikini everyday so it was obvious to me. Had I just been in regular clothes, maybe it wouldn't have been that visible.
