I'm 14 weeks and haven't got a sign of a bump! It's my first and I know it can take a little longer but when did everybody get there bump? I'm not even that bloated anymore!

I got a noticeable - but little bump - around the 20 week mark. I'm 22 weeks today and it's fairly obviously if I wear tight clothing, but easily hid under a baggy top. It's also my first.

I had a proper ‘bump’ at around 16 weeks the first time and slightly earlier this time although nothing that wasn’t easily hidden by a baggy top. A proper unmistakable strangers asking when you’re due bump around 20 weeks for me!

Around 18 weeks but not much to see. Came out more around 24 weeks.

Mind you, I still don't think it's that noticeable at 31 weeks but I've always had a podgy belly and looked a bit pregnant so 🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought I had a bump at 12 weeks, now I look at photos of myself I took at that time and laugh and laugh.
I would say around 17-18 weeks I got a visible bump.

Im 16 weeks with my 1st and its appeared over night.

LividLaughLove · 07/10/2019 19:46

16 weeks with first and still just look lardy 🤨

I'm 16 weeks with first this week, definitely got something there. For the most part I can get away with loose clothing but jumpers are clinging a bit so don't think it will be long until people in work start noticing.

I do find though it gets bigger throughout the day after eating so much bigger at night compared to first thing in the morning.

With DD I had a tiny bump, as in just looked a little bloated, until around 30 weeks when I suddenly ballooned.

With DS I had a noticeable bump before 12 weeks and had to have regular growth scans as I was measuring so big.

I believe you show later with your first because your muscles are still tight where as subsequent pregnancies your body has already shifted.

DD1: 24 weeks

DD2: 8 weeks Blush

LeahSMS · 07/10/2019 22:08

I was about 16 weeks but it was a tiny bump

PixieDustt · 07/10/2019 23:11

About 15 weeks my bump started to
Form ☺️

Aneley · 08/10/2019 07:23

About 16w. First pregnancy.

Bobthefishermanswife · 08/10/2019 07:30

I was a late bloomer, I just looked a bit pot bellied from 22 weeks and then at 28 weeks, I kind of exploded over night and was obviously pregnant.

WindsweptEgret · 08/10/2019 07:33

23 weeks

LolaSmiles · 08/10/2019 07:36

7/8 weeks I had a really pregnant looking bloat bump.
The actual bump turned up around 15 weeks.

stucknoue · 08/10/2019 07:48

About 18 weeks but not noticeable to others until later. At 8 months I looked less pregnant that some touring the hospital who were 4 months. We are all different

Absoluteunit · 08/10/2019 07:49

About 20 weeks

PlumLiquer · 08/10/2019 07:53

first baby - 24 weeks... Until then, I just looked a bit podgy, nothing defined

Frazzled2207 · 08/10/2019 09:13

Not really a bump but I recall not being able to get into my normal jeans at about 11/12 weeks.
Probably 16 weeks ish for the beginnings of a "bump"

Darkbloom · 08/10/2019 09:49

Around 20 weeks my bump was a little noticeable if I wore a tight top x

WatchingTheMoon · 08/10/2019 09:51

Not til 20 something weeks, then suddenly got bigger.

No weight anywhere else either really.

20TinkerBell20 · 09/10/2019 10:14

Anyone else got to 16 weeks and not have a bump. My belly button is going flat, my belly bar is sitting differently and it’s hard behind my belly button yet lower down I have no bump at all? Is this normal? I didn’t think the belly button changed until the bump appeared and baby wasn’t that high at 16 weeks anyway?

TwistofFate · 09/10/2019 10:18

I stopped being able to fit into my jeans at about 17 weeks but started showing visibly at about 20 weeks. I think it depends on your shape to begin with.

nicannie · 09/10/2019 10:25

I'm 18 weeks, with my first, put on 14lbs so far, but no pump just look more filled out as I was fairly slim when I fell pregnant. Thinking my bump will appear in the next few weeks!

goodnightsugarpop · 09/10/2019 20:01

I'm 15 weeks and I think my belly looks (& feels) different but I dont think it's visible to anyone else. I'm a size 18 and I've always had a bit of a belly so I think that disguises it, but I can tell it's a different shape than before, rounder and heavier below my belly button whereas higher up & around my waist actually looks a bit slimmer in comparison. Still easy to hide with a baggy jumper though!
