Hi! It’s my first time posting. I’m 13 weeks + 4. Baby is all looking fine at the scan which is a relief but I’m not really showing a bump at all? I seem to bloat throughout the day but come morning nothing. I know it’s early still but is this normal?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Totally normal. People who didn't know really couldn't tell I was pregnant until I was probs at least 20 weeks with my first, in fact significantly later if I had a coat on or whatever.

Completely normal. I’m 22 weeks and only now starting to show x

I only started showing at around 22 weeks. From around 18 weeks I looked a bit bloated, could have been a baby bump, could have been Dairy Milk. Don't worry about it xx

Completely normal. I've known people who didn't start showing til after 30 weeks. Right now your baby is the size of a lemon and about 3inches long so there isn't that much to show.
Im 25 weeks and only really started showing the past month maybe and even then, not huge ☺️ x

I didn't noticeably have a bump until 32 weeks. Everyone is different

Totally normal, I’ve only really started to show at week 19 x

I am 31 weeks and still look like I've just eaten a Domino's with a mild bloat. Apart from one pair of bigger jeans I'm still wearing all my pre pregnancy clothes. I wouldn't worry about it, everyone is different.

Your midwife will measure the bump from about 26 weeks but not before.

Didn't start showing properly until around 26 weeks Smile

I didn't get a distinctive bump with singletons until 20/21wk, 17wk with our twins.
