Reassurance please

[K12xo]

Hey, so I’m 14 weeks pregnant with my first the sickness has disappeared completely and I have little to no bump. I’m just extremely panicked constantly!

I know everyone’s different but when is the expected time for a bump to show? Is it normal to not have a bump at 14 weeks?

i feel like it’s a bit of a fever dream and it’s not real

i should be excited but im just really worried constantly

I think it's all good! First time pregnancy here too and I can relate to how you feel - was just recently that I was in a similar position and also the same worries.

If it helps, I didn't have a proper bump until about 18 weeks (and even then, it was more of a curve). And with the nausea/vomitting gone, I don't feel "pregnant" most days unless I look at my (small) bump in the mirror!

I found it reassuring talking to other mums, and reading some blogs. From what I know, some people dont have a proper bump until 20/22 weeks! When a bump appears depends on so many factors as you probably have found out already!

Hope your pregnancy goes smoothly and that you'll get to meet your bump real soon!

Thank you! It does help any reassurance is helping I just panic constantly it’s a horrible feeling when you should be excited.

thank you so much hope everything goes well for you too!

I wouldn’t even give a second thought to bump size or has zero bearing on the success of a pregnancy. I’m 36 weeks and am literally told daily how small I and my baby is on 71st centile so it doesn’t mean a thing

Is this your first pregnancy?

In my first I think my sickness was from about week 7 to week 14/15 ish.
You're in the second trimester now which is supposed to be the time when symptoms are at a minimum and you can 'enjoy' pregnancy a bit more (this didn't happen for me but at least no sickness).

Bump wise, I barely had a bump at all until over 32 weeks! Before then I just liked a bit podgy round the middle and like I'd eaten too much! I went for a non pregnancy related MRI at 28/29 weeks and the woman doing the scan was shocked there was a baby in there as when lying down I didn't look pregnant at all.

It's a weird time as I also didn't feel any movements until about 22 weeks so the whole period between the 12 week and 20 week scans I had times when i didn't feel pregnant at all.

Second pregnancy has been totally different.
