Trying to differentiate between bloat and a bump. I didn't start showing until about 15 weeks last time but I'm 8-9 and can feel a roundness. Although....y'know...pizza.

Did others start showing earlier with their second? Do you remember when you first saw bump?

I've got 4 children. On my first I didn't show until around 16w, 2nd baby I was about 9w and my last 2 babies sooner again; both around 7 weeks

10ish weeks I could see my bump,
12 weeks most people could see!

I was so bloated I was honestly looking pregnant at 5 weeks! I had to cancel a swimming meet with my sister because in a swimsuit there was no hiding it.

It settled towards the 10 week mark then started quickly turning into bump. By 14 weeks I couldn’t really hide it again.

Oh wow so it defo does come earlier! Just seems so mad since baby is literally about a cm or two big. You'd think I had a small melon in there already 😂

Currently 13 weeks but have been insanely bloated since about week 8. Can't really call it a bump as it really is just bloat but but it's still very noticeable!

With my first I had no visible bump at the 12 week scan, with my second I could see a bump by that point. I was much bigger, much earlier all the way through the second pregnancy. I found up to 12 weeks I had a lot of growing pain, apparently it's due to the ligaments stretching that had previously been stretched so it's more painful. Congrats.

The bloat was so bad with my second. At my 8 week appointment my midwife thought I was her 8 month lady. Thankfully it was lockdown as it looked like a huge baby bump very early on there was no hiding it

Yes definitely earlier the 2nd time. Didn't show until around 16 weeks the first time, 2nd time there was an obvious bump from 10/11 weeks and I was looking bloated from about 8 x
