Bump is so different this time.

[Justus22]

Hi, I am 17 weeks and have next to no bump this time, I actually think it's got smaller this week. I have 3 sons and by this point I was very big for gestation by now and I don't think most people would notice this time. I know some people don't get much in the way of a bump and it's fine I think I'm just concerned because my body usually does something different. Has anyone else ever carried extremely differently?x

Do you know where your placenta was on your scan? If it's at the side you might be carrying more across-ways than outwards?

Hi @hiphopotomous I don't recall where no. I will have my scan in 3 weeks so I'll find out then, I am just so surprised looking at photos of my previous bumps I'm not imagining the huge difference, I know I've had placenta be posterior and anterior in previous pregnancies though. Xx

Hi Im pregnant with my 2nd and very similar. With DS1 I had a bump very early on from about 14 weeks! And was absolutely huge.
This time I didnt really show until 22/23 weeks and now at 31 weeks, Im only really starting to wear my maternity clothes. Granted that my body shape has changed and so maybe Im more spread out (I got pregant when DS was only 4 months lol).

Wow that's close together, how lovely blonde. I was massive with the others, all bump and put on between 4 and 5 stone with all of them. I have lost lots of weight with morning sickness but then I did with all of them but I'm still to gain any weight? It's just so different, i feel like I've got smaller this week too. I'm prob being paranoid.x

I had totally different bumps in mine and they ended up being a boy and girl. Interested to know if I got pregnant again whether I would carry the same as one of the others
