Baby bumps around 24 weeks *pics* when did your bump really start growing?

[Jem9153]

Hi!

Totally random question, I’m 5’1 and 24 weeks first time mum, my bump isn’t huge at the minute, but I’m already getting back and hip pain and I’m worried it’s gonna get worse if I end up massive 😫

Am I likely to have an absolutely huge bump because I’m short? I’m normally a size 8 and have a small frame (my feet are a size 2 ) and I honestly think I will topple over if I end up with a big bump haha! I’ve been getting uncomfortable pains in my bump when I walk and feel like I need to keep hold of it or it’s gonna drop off.

I already feel huge although I know he has a LOT more growing to do 😂

When did you notice the most growth in your belly? I think mine has deffo popped a bit in the last couple of weeks, I was just looking bloated before.

Would love to see everyone else’s pics! Excuse the bad pic, only one I had from this week 😂

I'm 22 weeks FTM and prob a bit bigger than you - I was a size 14 to start with and my bump is sitting quite high. No aches and pains though and I can easily walk for an hour - I've been doing a lot of pre-natal and core exercises as I don't want to mess up my back.

I’m 5’2 and I think my bump started to show around 22 weeks but depend on what I was wearing too lol. People at my office didn’t notice until I was about 28 weeks tho lol

Now I’m 38w4d but last photo was taken when I was 38w (23/4)

I’m 5ft 10, 30 weeks and unless you know me or I’m in a very tight top, you can’t tell 😂

i'm 19w4d now and its now there! :)

21weeks
28weeks
30 weeks

Im 5ft 6, size 10, luckily haven't put too much weight on still in my 10s but in maternity wear as I'm all bump & sitting quite high

Im now 32weeks and definitely popping out more 😂🤦‍♀️

Hey @Jem9153 I'm pretty much the same proportions as you, a little smaller at 5ft but my bump was very similar to yous at 24 weeks. My back/hip pain did get pretty bad near the end and I went to physio who gave me a support belt and stretches, that helped a lot. With that, the maternity ball, lots of rest and paracetamol i managed to get through. Sitting for longer periods of time became a struggle after around 30 weeks, it wasn't the most comfortable but your body will be able to cope with it. Try not to worry and enjoy the experience as much as possible, huge congratulations too😊 everyone is different though so you may find your experience is different to me x

This was me at 34/35 weeks with my son, you wonder how your body will ever be the same again but don't worry it comes back😊

24 weeks vs 32 weeks

You’ve got a lot of growing to do trust me, I feel like a beach ball now!!!!

I will add that I have gestational diabetes and baby is measuring big so the bump is big for its age
