Currently half way through my pregnancy! I’m average height 5’5/5’6, on the slim side but not that slim and I’m still yet to have a noticeable bump!

I know I’ll look back at the end of my pregnancy and say “why was I wishing for my big noticeable bump” 😂

At the end of the day I get a bump, but yeah apart from my lower stomach having a bit of a bulge I have 0 bump! :(

And I do want a noticeable one, I love being pregnant!

Looking back at my 'bump progression' photos, it wasnt until about 28 weeks that it looked like a bump rather than a big lunch Grin

Even now though, at 38 weeks, it completely depends on what I'm wearing as to how pregnant I look. Maternity clothes definitely make me look more pregnant than loose/baggy normal clothes.

I also wore my normal jeans to my 20 week scan, but now even my maternity ones are too tight to be comfortable!

With my first pregnancy I got a noticeable bump around 30 weeks.

I’m still wearing size 10 jeans and I never thought I’d say this but I want my bump!!!! :(

I hope it gets noticeable soon

I’m 18+3 first baby, I’m small frame and a size 6 and I have no bump, maybe a tiny little bit my lower abdomen sticks out but was expecting one by now due to my frame!

Don't worry you'll have a bump for long enough. I started noticing a change around 18 weeks but it was around 24 weeks when I had a noticeable bump in tight clothing. I'm 32 weeks with a big bump now, I can still wear most of my size 8 jeans because my bump is quite high and the waist band sits underneath it.

Ahh, I'd be delighted to have a small bump! I am 5'2", grow giant babies, and have not been able to walk anywhere without waddling since 25 weeks pregnant. Really struggling now I'm 33 weeks and can't quite believe that I have another 7ish weeks to go! I hope you get your bump soon, you'll probably pop over night Grin

I’m 8 weeks atm and definitely no bump but my favourite jeans don’t fit!

I'm 20+4 with my first baby and my bump has popped out these past two weeks. I'm 5'10 and usually a size 12. I usually carry all my weight in my bum and hips, so the new bump is very noticeable to me, if nobody else!

I had a little one at four months, a bit more noticeable at five and definitely at six months.

23 weeks today and still no discernible bump! Jeans a bit tighter though. I’m 5’10” and a size 16 so presumed that might have something to do with it…

I’m 21 weeks and have a noticeable bump now, it’s round and uncomfortable… it started around 18 weeks, but was on and off for a bit.
