Overweight - does anyone else not really have a bump?

[Thamigumathacharaid]

Hi everyone, I've never been as far along in pregnancy as I am at the moment. I'm 27+6, due in May but still hardly look pregnant. I'm overweight but have lost a significant amount of weight due to sickness. So much so that my jeans are just a little tight. I've lost weight all over apart from my bump but I was just expecting to look more pregnant that I do.

Did anyone else have this? Baby is fine, weight/size all perfectly normal.

I'm just concerned because I do struggle to eat at times. I know I'm supposed to be having 2200 calories a day but I'd be surprised if I get to two thirds of that. It isn't intentional but I'm just not hungry. I do eat as much fresh fruit and veg as I can and I'm still taking pregnancy vitamins.

Honestly, the way I'm going, I'm going to be far lighter after I've given birth than before I was pregnant.

Any advice appreciated.

Everyone is different, I'm 5 ft 7 and size 10-12 and didn't have a bump noticeable to others in clothes until 30+ weeks. If you're getting two thirds of 2200 calories a day that's plenty, and if baby is measuring fine etc that's fine. Bump size is more guided by body shape and genetics than diet.

I’m overweight and only really have a bump from 30 odd weeks then last few I look like an absolute whale. At 41.5 weeks I didn’t actually move other than bed to sofa🤭

Everyone’s different

I didn't look pregnant until I was around 36 weeks with my first.
I'm 5ft 7 and was just over 16 stone.
But I carry all my weight at the front.

Thank you, that's good to know.
