First time Mums - When did you begin to really notice your bump?

[ChickenDipper28]

Just wondering when you started showing and when your bump had a growth spurt 🥰

Currently 15+4 weeks and have noticed bulge at bottom of stomach but doesn't look massively bump like yet!

I was well over 20wks when it became noticeable. My bump didn't have a growth spurt until the last few weeks (leaving me with horrendous stretch marks).

Mine popped at 21 weeks. I went to bed and I had a slight bump which looked more like bloating. In the morning I had a very defined bump. Apparently that’s quite common.

Probably about 19/20 weeks (currently 23) i literally woke up one day and there it was 😁

Mine sounds like yours @ChickenDipper28 - currently 14+3

I just had a little lower belly bulge when I went for my 20 week scan, couldn't tell I was pregnant. Almost overnight at 21 weeks it's appeared and now it's most prominent and bump like!
I was expecting a slow change but nope, one day just looked a bit fat and then next day definite baby bump!

About 20 weeks for me.

I'm 26 weeks and still don't think I look as though I have a proper bump yet!

about 26 weeks

People started offering me seats on public transport at 13 weeks.

6 months

At 6 months

Between 20 weeks and 22 weeks I went from having a bit of a bloat to a definite bump

About 15 weeks

My partner and I could notice it properly from.around 14 weeks....when it was there in the morning and not just bloat that got worse as the day went on.
It wasn't until about 16 or 17 weeks that anyone else could see it though.....that's when I had the first comments from colleagues and friends.

Round (ha!) about now, at 21 weeks. Before, it was just bloat

I'd say about 21 weeks it changed from bloat to baby.

Mine definitely came around 19/20 weeks mark. I'm now 25 and feel huge compared to what I was then though!

20-24 weeks !!!!!!!!!!!!! Before that I just looked bloated and chubby !

I woke up (no joke) at 21+3 to my belly sticking out more than my boobs! Before this I just looked like I'd had a good meal, still in my own clothes & nobody commenting.

I’m a FTM and currently 15+1 so at a very similar place to you OP, I have a bump that is noticeable to me it’s been a lot more clear in the last 10 days but isn’t really that visible at all in clothes I’m thinking in and other 2-3 weeks it’ll look a lot bigger but really I’ve no idea so this thread is helpful me too - thank you.

Getting towards the third trimester. I am tall tho.

I didn't think I looked pregnant until early third trimester. But then I am fat so it was hidden pretty well.

Hi OP,

I didn't notice a proper baby bump until I was about 19 weeks. I am 5'7 and weighed 9 stone 6 at my booking appointment so didn't have much fat around my belly to hide it it just didn't seem to grow very quickly! I'm now 26 weeks and bump is definitely there but still on the small side.

On the other hand my sister, of a pretty identical build is pregnant too and she started to show at about 12 weeks and her bump is now huge! Neither of us have put on much weight. Every women is completely different! 😃

I popped at around 16 weeks when it was definitely noticeable. Not just a big bloat more like hmmm there's defo something in there bump. From 20 week it started to gain more shape. However my sister is currently 3 weeks behind me and we look completely different I'm currently 28 weeks. I look like I've digested a basket ball and she just looks fat. She tends to gain weight around her middle but there's no shape to it just sticks out a little.

Everyone is so different xx
