When did you start to show / feel movements?

Just basically what the above says, curious to know and to know the difference between bloat / bump

Feel around 15 weeks with my first, 20 weeks with my second.
And show, my first I didn't show until 36 weeks 😂
My second, around 20 weeks, but only slightly

I'm 19 weeks and haven't felt anything yet but I did get told it might take longer because the placenta is at the front. I also don't have a bump yet

I look a bit fat 😂 but not a bump, just look like I've had too many Christmas chocolates! I'm 12+3. I'm a size 8-10 normally with a fairly flat stomach, carry the fat on my sides 🤦‍♀️ so I was hoping it might be obvious sooner

I’m 9 weeks and look about 30 weeks with my bloat!!! Honestly I’ve never had such a protruding stomach but it’s definitely all bloat!

I’m interested in when people show too.. even 19/20 weeks feels a long way away to get a bump! I feel like having a bump must be a bit reassuring because you can see it growing? At the moment I’m driving myself mad hoping everything is okay in there!

First time around, felt movement around 20 weeks, didn't start to show until IIRC around 16 weeks.

This time around I look very round already at 13 weeks, but I was significantly overweight at the start of pregnancy, so it's hard to tell what's bump and what's pre-existing fat.

FTM. I started feeling flutters at about 18 weeks and definite movements just before 20 weeks scan.
I’d say I’ve only really just got a noticeable bump now at 26 weeks but even now some people are surprised when I say I’m pregnant. However I have not been able to squeeze into my normal high waisted skinnies since about week 10! I’ve just felt podgy and am glad to have a bump now.
