Very small bump at 17 weeks

[Penahn95]

I’m 17 weeks and I’ve hardly got a bump, which is making me anxious as I assumed I’d have more of a bump by now. I had a MMC in July 2024, so this is my first pregnancy I’ve reached the second trimester. I’m just after some reassurance if possible please, as I thought I’d have more of a bump by now, but it looks more like bloat than a bump.

I have a tilted uterus and had no bump at 17 weeks in my first pregnancy didn’t show until over 20 weeks I can’t exactly remember. I only have a small bump now at 16 weeks. I’m tiny with a short torso…everyone is so different.

With my DD I had no bump at 17 weeks, then by 20 weeks I had a very clear one! I had a private scan at 17+5 and the scanner told me that it's normal to have no bump at this point as baby is still low down. As they grow, your womb moves up and the bump then really shows - I bet you'll be really showing in a few weeks, but also perfectly normal if you aren't!
