What's everyone's bump looking like? Is it just me that's forming a bump at 8+6?

It'll be bloat that early, baby is still tiny at that gestation.

I didn't get a "bump" that early with twins, was 16wk with them before I looked more pregnant than podgey.

I look huge at 9+1 and people are beginning to comment that I look pregnant (it is going to be a struggle to keep it quiet). I am constantly starving, so I dont know if I am just piling on weight or if it is just bloat. I do think my digestive system has become really sluggish since my BFP.

I'm 9.5 weeks and have a swollen stomach. I asked the midwife what I could do about water retention and bloat at my check in this week as my stomach is really prominent. She examined me and said everyone shows at different times and it's your physiology as well. I've small hips, small frame and waist and so it's not all bloat in my case. Was surprised as I didn't think you were meant to show for another month. I'm in maternity trousers already 🙈

My stomach was totally flat at 8 weeks but my boobs got huge, I was totally in love with myself haha! I was 18 weeks before I started getting a bump, now at 27 weeks I feel huge!

@shivawn that sounds amazing! What I was hoping for really. My stomach is sadly bigger than my boobs and I look awful 🙈😂

I am 9 + 5 with my third and I've dug out my maternity jeans today and they are so comfy! I never lost my tummy completly but this definitely looks like a bump!

I’m 9 + 6 and definitely have rounded a bit in my lower belly. There definitely can be a change in shape at this point as your uterus has already started to stretch etc so depending on your body, there may be a little rounding 🙂 I feel that I’ve also started to “chunk” around the middle and I’m mostly in leggings and floaty dresses already (the thought of jeans makes me feel ill!). I’m usually a size 10 but starting to feel more comfortable in a 12
