When does your belly become obvouisly noticable

[Baby_j]

Hi guys

I was just wondering, im 14 weeks and 3 days. I have got a slight bump which isnt really obvious, although my boyfreind thinks that i am showing. Im just geting impatient!

I just want to know when did anyone get big so that it was obvious?

I had a bump from 12weeks but was really obvious by 16weeks. Before that, people at work would stare at me and a few brave ones asked whether I was pregnant or put on weight lol!

[Baby_j in reply to Hidden]

How rude! Haha. See i would hate that if someone ask that to me cuz i would feel fat haha.

[Hidden in reply to Baby_j]

Lol they meant well. Except this one woman who couldn't wait to tell me I'd put on weight and should go to a gym. She was soooo peeved when I said I was pregnant and maybe she should take her own advice as she had no excuse haha!

[Baby_j in reply to Hidden]

O god lol. How shameful!

[Hidden]

I'd say I started showing around 15-16 weeks. It depends on your body..

[Baby_j in reply to Hidden]

Most people have said around 16 weeks. I put on weight easily aswell so im hoping i dont look obese by 16 weeks lol

I've always shown really early but a lot of it has been because of bloating due to pregnancy but by 16 wks I looked big everyone keeps asking if I'm having twins...I'm nearly 27 weeks now and I think I look about right really.....everyone is different, a mum up the school is14 weeks and just looks like a tiny bump it made me laugh cos there was no way I could of hidden mine at 14weeks....once you get to about 20 weeks plus ur uterus will be over you belly button so ur have a lovely little bump then x

I just cant wait! Im impatient lol. Im seeing big bumps everywhere but mine is small. I just look like ive put on a bit if weight lol

My bump has only really started looking pregnant in the last couple of weeks. I'm 23 weeks today. A couple of people on my floor at work (different department so I don't really liaise with them) have congratulated me now without fear of offending lol. I'm lucky, I guess, that I look like I've swallowed a football now and not really put any weight on anywhere else (a bit chunkier on the thighs though )

[Hidden in reply to Armywag]

Yh my thighs got involved as well!! Lol. I managed to not put much weight on anywhere but the bump too

With my first I didn't start showing till I was about 18 weeks and then 2nd 16weeks and my 3rd 21weeks. I never had a bump straight away my waist just expanded and I just felt fatter. It is nice when you do get a bump.

For me, it was about 28 weeks (well, according to colleagues!). Looked like a beached whale by 37/40!

I didn't show until around 22-24 weeks - I kept kidding myself there was an obvious bump, but in reality I looked like I'd eaten too many pies lol. Apparently I still look small at 31+5! People always like to comment on how big/small you are!

[maryamH]

Its my first and i didn't start showing until about 23 weeks. But yes my waist got expanded in the beginning which made me look fatter rather than pregnant.

Every body is different. I am sure you'll love your bump when it gets bigger :). I just love my bump and love it even more when i touch it . :')

Hey I'm 39 weeks and people can't believe I've only got a week left my bumps tiny! Only a few weeks ago I bumped into someone I knew and she didn't want to ask just in case I wasn't pregnant! Been great in this heat however. I waited and waited to get bigger but it didn't happen so I reckon our little girls just going to be petite! Measured perfectly on growth chart though so not worried just getting impatient now!!

[joda]

I had a growth scan this week cos i'm not showing much, (29 weeks) there is a bump, just most people forget how skinny I was before, and apparently baby still measuring a week ahead, though doctor said I'm still going to have a small baby. People keep saying are you sure your pregnant? Then my little monster will stick out a foot or a fist and they know x
