When did your belly really start to expand?!

Hi
I'm 27+3 and some people still say I hardly look pregnant. My bump seems to be long rather then rounded. It probably depends on the individual but I'm the same and just want to look properly pregnant too! Saying that by new year I will probably be eating my words. Good luck x

Drives me mad being bump-less! I remember being huge with my first! (cant remember exactly how long I took to be huge though! my memory for details is terrible and it was over 4 years ago plus I cant find any pictures of me at that time with dates on!) I do remember being hot and bothered and huge throughout the summer though and Emma was born 4th September so maybe it took me a while to be big then too as that would have put me just before 30 weeks ish at the start of that summer in June.....BRING ON THE BUMP ALREADY!!!

Hi, I am only just 8+4 weeks gone and people I don't even know are already asking me when the baby is due. I am not overweight, I have a daughter of 11 and this is my second pregnancy. I am huge already. I know that it is not really the baby, but my bump is nice and firmly rounded. I was big with my first daughter and looked about 6 months gone when I was only 12 weeks. So I suppose it really depends on you and your body. My first scan isn't until Friday 13th November, unlucky for some but hopefully not for me. My midwife is coming out for the first visit a week today, and I can't wait to see her face when she sees the size of me LOL. Don't worry about the size of your bump it will grow overnight and when you start getting all the back ache you will wonder why you wanted the bump to grow. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and good luck xXx

I am 23+5 and still not only a couple of people have noticed Im pregnant who dont know. I think people who know can tell but not anyone else really. I totally know what you mean tho I want a big bump so people give me a seat on the train lol xx

i was noticiable pregnant at 16weeks! and had a proper bump by 22/23 weeks im now 26weeks and people always think im about to drop lol im huggegeeeee

I started getting that lil sticky out bit in my 1st pregnancy at about 17 weeks and over night at about 22 weeks i looked properly pregnant it just seemed to pop out of no where one day. This time im 15 weeks and you can see a bump although its shaped its stil squidgy! so not a proper bump but i guess the sac and everything is already there for the baby to be forming in!

Hey, I'm short (just a little over 5ft) and average weight with a curvy body shape. I'm currently 20+5 gone with my second girl and you can only just see a slight bump developing (if I stand sideways and breath in you can see the exact line of the immovable 'extra bit' about 3cms if that extra straight outwards where its biggest at the bottom of my stomach) I know the second trimester is the stage where you really grow (even though its mostly support system rather than your baby as your baby actually gains more weight in the third trimester6-8lb compared to just 2lb in the second) When did everyone else balloon because I cant wait to 'look' properly pregnant!! x
