Sorry I know this may seem like a random question but I'm currently pregnant. I won't say how many weeks but I feel like I look massive for how far gone I am.
What would you suspect?

Thank you - a very anxious FTM

I looked like this by 11 weeks. It all depends on how the baby sits etc. I'm mow 7.5 months and people keep telling me I look like I'm ready to give birth any second. All bumps are different, no need to panic!

@HereIfYouNeedMe thank you ☺️

Thanks everyone for your reassurance, it means a lot x

@cheesecrackerz

Are you slightly overnight anyway though?
How rude

I looked this by my first scan! It really shocked me! But I think lots was bloating and the bump growth then slowed in the second trimester. My friend was exactly the same so I think it’s quite common. And I think you look great. Many, many congratulations Smile

[quote coffeewithmilk]@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor sorry I did previously in the post. I'm 11 weeks.. hence so much worry that I look massive considering the baby is only the size of a strawberry 😅[/quote]
I was just about to say 12 weeks!! So I wasn't far off. Everyone saying 16-20 weeks is waaaaaaay off and must have popped last minute. You look FAB!! I was the same with my 1st. Every 4 weeks I would pop a bit more and looked soooo pregnant by 20 weeks. Enjoy it ♥️

@Ell17 everyone saying 16-20 weeks isn't "waaaay off", you're judging from your own experience as is everyone else. Not showing by then isn't "popping last minute", it is literally only halfway through the pregnancy.

@Garman ...... cool story

Rosesareyellow · 16/07/2021 10:23

I would say it depends on whether it’s your first or not. I’ve only had one so far and I had a bump like that at about 25 weeks or so. But I know with subsequent babies you look bigger earlier. So anywhere between 18 and 28 weeks - not helpful sorry 😄 but it is a gorgeous bump.

Rosesareyellow · 16/07/2021 10:25

Everyone saying 16-20 weeks is waaaaaaay off and must have popped last minute.

I had no bump at all until 17 weeks. I don’t think that’s way off and out of normal range for a first baby. Confused

Erinrose82 · 16/07/2021 10:31

I'm 12 weeks and exactly the same ! But it's so dependent on time of day. I know most people bigger by 16 weeks. I love your dress and your bump is a lovely little bump, very obvious bump not fat ! I've basically looked like this from the day I found out but now it's bump not bloating ConfusedGrin

Comebloodyon · 16/07/2021 10:38

Isn't the baby still behind your public bone until the second trimester? So wouldnt be that causing your bump. Its just bloating don't worry about it. Have a good fart! :D Good luck with your pregnancy

Somethingsnappy · 16/07/2021 13:29

Hi OP, i came on to say between 12 and 16 weeks (based on my experience), so pretty close, having read your update! I'm sorry you've struggles with MC in the past. You mentioned you've only been able to eat beige food... I'm guessing that means morning sickness? That sounds like a very good sign that all the hormones are in place and doing their job! Congratulations on your pregnancy x

pinkteapots · 16/07/2021 13:37

You could be anywhere from 8 weeks to 20 weeks! Everyone is soooo different. My body gave up at round 8 weeks n let it all hang out, i looked 20 weeks at 12 weeks. Now i'm 35 weeks i look 35 weeks. So getting a big or early (or small or late) bump, means zero. I dont think you look overweight btw not sure what others are seeing, i see slim arms and lovely slim hands. Once your bump is obvious baby bump you can rock it, but there is that point for everyone where they look like they ate too much. Enjoy and congrats.

@Rosesareyellow "I had no bump at all until 17 weeks. I don’t think that’s way off and out of normal range for a first baby."
I just looked at a photo of me at 17 weeks and I was huge!! But as others have said, it can catch up with you all over a sudden. I'm pregnant again so will be interesting to see how it compares xx

SparrowNest · 16/07/2021 16:10

@coffeewithmilk I look similar now at 20 weeks with my second, but I was massively bloated in my first trimester before it briefly went down for a bit. It’s totally normal and nothing to worry about

coffeewithmilk · 16/07/2021 16:12

Thank you everyone for your replies.
I usually have a very flat stomach and rarely bloat so maybe it's a combination of the pregnancy/bloating and constipation.
I'll see in another few weeks if it is any bigger I guess!

Thank you to everyone. Some of you are very kind ❤️

Two posters have said they thought you had a 'higher BMI' 🙄 or were 'slightly overweight' 😒 anyway, so I thought I'd come on just to tell you they're brimful of particularly noisome shit. I bloody knew there'd be a couple, though, which is why I came on.
You don't look overweight in the section of your body you can see in that photo, so eff knows what they were basing that on, and I've just seen your BMI is perfectly normal.
I hope the morning sickness jogs on, too. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

Agree with this. Honestly dont know what pic those PPs were looking at but it wasnt the one i looked at! They were both wrong and rude. You look slimmer and trendier than me and you're bump is perfect; its yours.

Agree LobotomisedIceSkatingFan

I think you look great. I probably looked the same around 12 weeks whereas my best friend didn't show til 19/20 weeks. I did IVF and was very bloated and ovaries were still swollen. Everyone is different
