Wondering when you started to get a firm bump or firmer stomach
I'm 12 weeks and my tummy is still really really soft. I'd heard the uterus comes out of pelvis at this stage and some women show but mine is just really soft don't feel any swollen bump.
Worried for my scan as still haven't had my 12 week scan
All my friends had a clear bump by 3 months

what was your stomach like before?
my stomach was flat
and it never got saggy!

Well I'm 18 weeks and my stomach is still pretty soft, but a bit more rounded now. Depending what I'm wearing it's not obvious.

my sisters wasn’t flat, she holds her weight all in her tummy, and consequently it never got tight and firm even at 9 months!

I was flat stomached, and in normal clothes at six months, although they were starting to feel a bit tight.

I’m almost 20 weeks and it’s only just become prominent in the last fortnight. At 12 weeks I was still in my normal jeans!

I could fit in my normal jeans up until about 14/15 weeks.
And only noticeably pregnant at around 20 weeks.

I think around 24 week mark.

SnapdragonToadflax · 31/12/2023 21:19

Around 22 weeks I think, I know when I was 20 weeks no-one had a clue I was pregnant, but it soon became very obvious.

All bodies are different OP, I wouldn't worry.

After about 25 weeks

At 12 weeks your uterus is only just peeping over your pubic bone. I didn't have a bump of any sort until about 24 weeks and even that disappeared if I lay flat on my back.

not if you’re a string bean like me with an almost concave stomach pre pregnancy.

I had a little had a bona fide bump at 12 weeks

there is very little “average” or “normal” when it comes to pregnancy bumps
