Worried my bump is too big for 16.4 wks - WARNING PHOTO

[MrsBumpBump]

NC. Sorry about the embarrassing photo but I am worried as I suddenly seem to have ballooned in the last 10 days.
For context I am normal tall size 12 with a flatish tummy. 10 days ago I was still in my size 12 jeans and looking normal albeit slightly bloated round the tummy. Now this which I feel is HUGE for 16.4 weeks??? I feel like I look 8 months pregnant. Is growth at this rate normal? It literally feels like it's happened overnight.

I don’t think it looks big at all. But I don’t know how it looked before 🤷‍♀️

It was flat before!

It doesn’t look big to me? Just a normal bump!

This is normal. Bumps can grow at different rates especially in the beginning.
Sorry but if you think you look 8 months pregnant there you’re in for a real shock!

I wouldn't even say you look pregnant

If you think / feel 8 months pregnant... Then just you wait :)

I’m 16 weeks tomorrow and was worrying I was looking too big too. I look similar to you. Going to ask the midwife when I see her next week what she thinks

I’ve got an unexpected bump at 15 weeks - it appeared over the past week and like yours was just suddenly there overnight!

I’m also a tall 12 and wasn’t expecting a bump for another few weeks yet. I’ve been drinking fybogel like it’s going out of fashion, thinking it was bloating, but I’ve come to the conclusion the bump is here to stay!

It's bigger than I'v been at that number of weeks but will be smaller than other peoples! Everyone's bump is different but that definitely looks no where near an 8 month bump!

Honestly the baby has to fit somewhere!
Women carry differently. I had a friend who was normal sized but had quite a deep pelvic area. Barely looked pregnant until about 39 weeks!
You look great. You'll find the shape may change too. Just wait till the bump stats moving around!

Nah you just wait until you're 8 months. It's nothing like that.

There is not a 'normal' size. Everyone's are different so please don't worry. You look healthy and a good shape!

The best way to feel/see the true size of your bump is to lie flat on your back and look, alot of 'bump' can be bloating etc. I think it looks fine btw

That's nowhere near 8 months pregnant! I was bloody massive at 8 months. That looks entirely average to me.

That might be 8 months for a 16 yo or top athlete. I had a definite bump by your stage.

It's much better once you get past the 'looks like one too many kebabs' stage and get a more rounded bump. I just looked fat for a while and then one day I woke up and actually looked pregnant instead

You've 'popped'. I did that with DS1. Didn't look at all pregnant one day, then suddenly had a medicine ball up my jumper...

I don’t think we are very many heavily pregnant women out and about. Google a bit and you’ll see you will get much bigger

Don't worry! Your bump has probably just 'popped', it can happen overnight.
Mine didn't pop until around 16 weeks with my first but much earlier with my others.

we *see many

You barely even have a bump, it just looks bloated.

8 months? Nah.

You popped !

Ha ha! Here is an 8 month pregnant bump! (Not me, stock photo)

Looks about similar to how I looked at 16 weeks first time but a fair bit smaller than I did at that point second time.

THIS massive whale sized bump is me at 8 months pregnant!

This was me at 18 weeks!
