No bump at 16 weeks

[springdayscoming]

I've just had a 16 week gender scan we didn't have a reveal but I've been looking on social media at gender reveals, almost all the woman in these videos are very obviously pregnant and yet I still don't look pregnant.
When did your bump start to show so you looked visibly pregnant?

On first pregnancy, bump didn't show until I was 20 weeks!

Can sometimes depend on the placenta position, ab muscles, womb position and lots of other things really. The important thing is a happy, healthy pregnancy and baby. Congratulations 🍾

I could see a visible bump at 20 weeks but it wasn’t obvious enough for anyone who didn’t already know I was pregnant to mention it until after about 30 weeks.

First pregnancy I was about 24 weeks when my bump popped.
Second at about 16 weeks
Third I still looked pregnant for second 😂

First pregnancy 20 wks before I had a bump that made look pregnant, I just looked kinda puffy before then.

Dc2 several years later and didn't look pregnant until week 31! Tint baby and a small bump. Looked 6 months pregnant when I gave birth.

Average size and weight and short at 5'3

I'm 17 weeks and it popped literally over night at 16 +4! I think it's really noticeable but no one else does! It's definitely way smaller than the bumps in the reveal videos - maybe they do them at 20 weeks?

I didn’t show with my first until after the 20 weeks scan. I can’t remember exactly when but I remember I had no bump at the scan. My bump with my first never got that big. I looked obviously pregnant but only measured 30 weeks at 41 weeks.

Even with my second I wasn’t showing at 16 weeks to others but without clothes on I looked a bit bloated. By the end I looked massive though with my second 😂

I didn't really show until later than that with both my children.

The first time I was working with a really toxic work colleague and knew that he would want to tell all my clients that I was pregnant and try to make things difficult for me so I deliberately told other people in confidence until he was the only person left who didn't know, and then finally announced it officially after my 22 week scan. I did have a bit of a bump by then but pretty much managed to hide it until gone 20 weeks.

Around 20 weeks for both of mine.

I was still in my normal jeans at 20 weeks. I wasn't very obviously pregnant until a few weeks later.

Everyones different. I eat like an actual horse when pregnant so i showed earlier in my first pregnancy but not properly until 16 to 20 weeks. Atm i am 12 weeks pregnant and i feel like a pregnant horse with twins. Thanksfully i am having only one.

Your bigger bump will come soon.

People didn't realise I was pregnant till I was about 7 months gone🤣

I am 36 weeks and can very easily hide mine even now! It’s not very big at all

I remember trudging round the park with my dog, had a chat with a fellow dog walker and my coat fell open. She said 'oooh I didn't realise you were pregnant, when are you due?'
Through gritted teeth I I had to inform her that I was in fact 10 days overdue 🤣

First pregnancy and I was just getting out the elasticated jeans at 20 weeks.....you must have good abdominal muscles. it will happen soon!

I think it was somewhere between 16-18 weeks where it just popped out. When I got preggo second time it was much sooner

About 7 months with dd. She was back to back and just popped out overnight.
When we took her home a neighbour asked us whose baby we had- she hadn't even realised I was pregnant

I only started properly showing at 24 weeks. Was still in normal clothes until at least 28 weeks. Everyone carries differently :)

I didn't have much of a day time bump even at 7 months. It was HUGE at night though. Must have been how DS was lying

Same here, I couldn't believe how many people had no idea I was pregnant, back to back babies are very un-showy. And since she was a winter baby, the bump was well concealed under my wool cape. All the neighbours were astonished.

Even at my 20 week scan with my first I hardly had a bump when lying down! I was quite slim then with strong abdominal muscles (those days are long gone haha!)

I didn't have a noticeable bump until after 20 weeks. By 30 weeks people saw me and were like 'about to pop, not long to wait' and looked horrified when I was like nope. Kept me waiting until 41+2 as well. Fucking gigantic, was over 9lb baby though and did carry very much like a lump out the front 😅 i honestly by the end felt deeper than I did tall!

My bump popped on the day of my 20-week scan. Absolutely no sign of it the night before! I was worried and was going to ask about it at the scan, and then I woke up and there it was!

@LimeLime did you have aa average sized baby? I was induced at 37 weeks as she was growing too fast but was still 8lb 6oz. They reckoned she'd have been 10 11lbs!
We did have scares at a few appts though as they could never find her heartbeat as she was so far back. How much room ìs there in there?!

Those women at "gender reveal" parties aren't 16 w for the most part
