I’m 16 weeks but I just feel odd, like feeling tired, and just not right, I don’t feel pregnant, (not sure how to feel because it’s my first) I’ve got a very small bump coming. - I’ve got a lot of stress with work, and with two separate grandparents being in hospital with very cruel and are extreamly Ill, lets just say pregnancy so far hasn’t all been rainbows and pixie dust. When does the energy return and I get the pregnancy bump and glow 😂

Everyone is different and I certainly have never felt pregnant. My bump didn’t show to other people until about 20 weeks although clothes were too tight at 17. Your probably tired because of the stress I know I have been as my Dad was diagnosed with cancer when I was 16 weeks so worrying, hospital visits, work and growing a baby is going to make us very tired.

Hope you start to feel better soon xx

Sorry to hear about your grandparents!

I'm 24 weeks pregnant and still waiting for this burst of energy you're meant to get in your second trimester! As for this glow people keep saying I have, I'm not feeling very glowy, nor do I look it haha! I just tend to nap in the day or early evening when I finish work as I don't sleep well at night either. Just try to rest and relax as much as possible because once baby arrives, you'll have no chance haha!

My clothes got tight around 11 weeks! Didn't show until 18 weeks ish, by 20 weeks my bump was a definite bump! Now people ask if I'm having twins haha!

Wishing you all the best! Xx

With your first it takes longer to show. Plus it depends how big or small, fat or slim you are to begin with. Also every pregnancy is different. You will get a bump and long for a body where you can move easily and freely.

I feel like a whale in bed when I try to turn with pillows.

Not what you're looking for?
