Plus-size bumps

Hey lovely plus size people,

When did you start to show? Did you get an obvious bump?

I’m 12 weeks and I can’t suck my belly in anymore and it’s not as wobbly, it’s definitely changing but not obvious. I’m a size 18/20. Probably imaging it but hope I do get an obvious bump when I’m further on, read that plus size people it’s not obvious to the very end.

Hello :)

My wee one is 6 weeks and I miss my bump so much!

I was a 22/24 before falling pregnant and stayed the same throughout. I would say by 20 weeks you knew I was pregnant and this is my last photo of my bump at 37 weeks.

Just embrace it and enjoy it because it goes in a flash the bump will definitely come but don’t stress over it too much if it isn’t until a bit later on just try and enjoy being pregnant :) x

I was a 12 to 14uk and just looked overweight until about 6 months. Funny enough when i was 7 and 8 months i kept getting comments about how im so huge. Fuckers. My stomach became firm though as it was very wobbly.

I was a 12/14 before pregnancy, this was about 38 weeks. I had my little girl 2 weeks ago and I'm now a big 14 small 16. I only really ballooned towards the end.

With my first I was about 6 mo tha before my bump was noticiable rather than my usual tum.

This time round I had a bump from 12 weeks. 38 weeks now and it is humongous but have had a proper obvious bump from pretty early on and I am a size 24. X

I was a size 18 pre-pregnancy. IMO it wasn't obvious I was pregnant rather than fat until about 30 weeks. And then only when standing! The only photo I have of me with a bump was taken ~35weeks. It's pretty obvious I'm pregnant in it at least. I'm huge!
