When should I start showing a bump?

8 Replies

Ok peeps, I'm 6 weeks at present and I am properly bloated, and was wondering when I would start showing? Already looks like my belly has forms a structure, as not same when I was bloated and not pregnant.

Wish the bloatedness would bugger off, or is that me showing?

Well I'm fifteen weeks two days with twins and I have only just started to feel my uterus, but I asked the exact same question a little while ago and found out that singleton pregnancies start popping out at around twenty weeks! I'm pretty bloated but in all the places the babies are going to grow into so I guess it's natures way of making room in the early stages I guess :) good luck it will not be long till you can see your baby on a scan xxx

Sometimes it can depend on the number of pregnancy too

When i was pregnant with my 1st son, nobody could see i was pregnant until about 27wks.

Now i'm about 9 wks pregnant with my 2nd child i have a rounder bump (than what i had with my 1st child in 2008) & i'm pretty sure the strech marks have started to show themselfs sooner too.

I am pregnant with my 1st and am 16 weeks and am already in the maternity work uniform so I think everyones different, i am not huge i was just getting uncomfortable but now i am feeling bit better..

for bloatedness try prune juice or ask your GP for a stool-softener that you can have while pregnant. that was really getting me crazy during the first trimester (thanks to the folic acid and iron tablets, which are essentials and you cant get off them)

About bump - mine started peeking a bit by week 18 (but as I always had a slightly rounded tummy, people and colleagues thought its normal but close friends and family realized it to be a bump).

Now week 23 and few days, and my bump is clearly visible (although I can still hide it under a layer of extra clothing - but why hide ;) ) As of dress size, I have gone off my jeans over 2 weeks now (I think my baby dont like it and moves a lot more as if annoyed - but other clothing size still remains the same)
