Hello,

I am now 18 weeks and seeking advice please!

In the morning when I'm lying flat I literally have no bump- flat stomach! By the end of the day I look huge...

I am tall and slim so midwife says it's normal as baby will have so much room to move.. anyone else experienced this?!

Makes me feel not pregnant at all when I look in the morning😭😂

FTM? Completely normal, my bump didn’t show until around 22/23 weeks!

That sounds about right, I don’t think my real bump appeared until gone 20 weeks. Before that it was all bloating!

Im the oposite to you im plus size and i carry all my weight on my lower stomach, i bloated very badly in early pregnancy and my bump only became a bump when i was about 24 weeks, even then it just rounded out, im now 33 weeks and theres no mistaking im pregnant. I was always told no matter the shape or size of your bump its normal.

I'm 28 weeks and still have virtually no bump if I lie flat briefly. Don't worry about it, bumps come in all shapes and sizes. Everyone says how small mine is but midwife is happy 👍

It's normal, towards the end of the day it's water retention and bloating. It's still early in your pregnancy, nothing to worry about.

I was in normal jeans until about 25 weeks in my 1st pregnancy. Totally normal
