Hi ladies I will be 13 weeks tomorrow and already feel like I have a bump which feels hard to the touch,this is my second pregnancy with my first being 12 years ago so can't really remember what to expect.
Any of you around the same stage in pregnancy and feeling the same?

With my 2nd I started showing ridiculously early. By the time I told people about it at work (at 12 weeks) I think everyone was just relieved to get it out in the open!! With my first though, it didn't show for quite some time. (with the third I reckon everyone clocked it after a day or so!!)

Was showing at 8 weeks with my second, worst kept secret ever! I remember someone doing a double take when I walked past her desk at work, she laughed when I told her a month later!

With my first I wasn’t properly showing until about 20 weeks, although my waist disappeared by about 15 weeks.

I noticed a bump from about 18/19 weeks but no one else did until I was about 24/25 weeks

I'm so glad someone made this thread lol! I'm nearly 10 weeks and I feel I have been popping out for a while now. I had my first 15 years ago so it all feels new to me right now.

Not sure how long I'm going to be able to hide it from work before I reveal lol

For you ladies that started showing early did you go on to have big babies?

I looked pregnant from about 4 weeks on! I’m assuming that a lot of it is bloat but some days I actually look as big as I did on my due date with #1. Probably doesn’t help that I’m fatter in general this time round, just slipped into the overweight BMI category and I’m 1kg away from the weight I was when I gave birth to #1 at 41 weeks. Two completely different pregnancies! When I told my sister I was pregnant with #1 at 16 weeks, she said, and I quote, “you look less pregnant than usual” because I’ve always experienced extreme “food babies”!!

I reaaallly hope it evens out!

I was showing at 10 weeks with my second.

I’m 11+3 and no sign of a bump yet, might be a bit hard underneath my belly button though. I’m tall and slim in the middle

Oh I was big quickly! I was obviously pregnant by 8 weeks. Baby was a pound heavier than my first but not huge, he's on the 50th centile.
