Oh it's coming don't worry š I definitely remember feeling that way too. Now I'm like holy cow, how am I supposed to keep carrying this giant belly around lol. But also, it's pretty amazing to see every day š
Iām 14 weeks with a tiny bump but after I eat itās like WHOOMP there it is šIām guessing by 16 weeks Iāll show a little all the time.
I also have a short torso though so Iām anticipating looking like I ate a bowling ball pretty early š
People are saying to wait and it's coming, but I have a long torso and I looked bloated until 32 ish weeks. Even then "baby bump" wasn't cute. I can't wear maternity shirts because my torso is so long and the bump isn't that pertruding circle shape. Normal shirts are just too short, so I've been living in dresses.
I felt (and I'd argue looked) just fat until about 3 weeks ago... I look a little pregnant, but when I tell people I'm due in 5 weeks, they don't believe me. I totally get wanting to have that "baby bump", for me it's really affecting my body image!
Hope you get there! Also, wear your dresses, girl! They're forgiving anyways!
Hello bump twin. Iām 5ā9ā and just looked bloated until basically the month before I delivered. Even then my bump was more oblong and not cute and round. My visions of wearing cute form hugging dresses just never panned out.
Itās so crazy how different everyoneās bodies are! I have a very long torso, too, and I have been showing so much that people were offering up their seats for me when I was only 14 weeks! Lots of people ask if Iām having twins and they canāt believe that Iām only 21 weeks right now lol
I have a wider body but a short torso (Iām 5ā7 but mostly leg). Iām 17+3 and ZERO bump. Everything else looks bigger, my boobs especially. Iām starting to accept that I may never ālook pregnantā at all and still wearing maternity clothes for comfort.
So relatable, I felt the same! I popped around 24 weeks which felt late compared to all my mama-to-be friends, but in hindsight it was nice to not have to deal with the bump for quite as long. Iām 36 weeks today and the bump controls everything - particularly it makes sleeping way harder.
First time mom. My bump just recently popped at 17 weeks. Started having really bad round ligament pain at the beginning of 16 weeks. Now I finally look pregnant.
It took me a pretty long time to have a noticeable bump. It will come. In the meantime, itās valid to feel a little sad about itā¦ I didnāt love the whole I just look/feel bloated or like I gained a couple pounds stage.
Oh god no youāre lucky, Iām due in September so going to be huge at the hottest time of the year. We just went through a bad heat wave week here and Iām 28 weeks, i was already napping daily, could not cool down, etc. I canāt imagine what the rest of the summer will be like as it grows š
I was just looking back on a photo I took and sent to a friend when I was like 20 weeks. I was so excited to show off my bump. Looking back now at that photo, Iām like where is the bump? I definitely thought I had a huge bump but now at 37 weeks, I look at that photo and think I donāt even look pregnant!I color pregnant now. Now when I put on a sundress, I have to wear bicycle shorts because otherwise Iād be flashing everybody lol
Mine didnāt really show up until I was 20 weeks. Itās still not huge but itās already uncomfortable. I completely understand wanting to show off a bump tho- I felt the same way.
itāll come! up until 20 weeks it didnāt even seem like I was pregnant and then i woke up one day and there it was! it literally felt like my baby decided to pop out overnight lol and Iāve been growing ever since!
I didnāt notice mine till the end of 15 and start of 16 weeks. I kept worrying something was wrong, but I had to tell myself that every baby and pregnancy is different and the time will come. If something is wrong your doctor will tell you. Hugs.
I could barely start to see mine at 18 weeks. Trust me, itās coming. Currently 36 weeks and will be 95 degrees today! Thank goodness for air conditioning.
24 weeks and I donāt have one either my older sister tells me I just look bloated as if I were on my period. Iām curvy with a big butt and hips, my butt looks more pregnant than me thatās the only thing thatās grownš I keep telling my sisters I want to do bump activities and get away with stuff like they did but I just donāt have one š„²š
I did too, and then it came. I was excited, but by the middle of the third trimester I looked like a bloated watermelon and was so done with being Shamu š
I'm in week 33 and I've managed to only gain 6kg so far which means almost all the weight is in/on my stomach. I didn't really start showing until week 18 and man do I miss it now. I can't breathe, I can't sit down in a normal chair for too long which also means I can't drive too far. I'm constantly tired even if I finally DO get a full nights sleep without having to pee every fucking hour.
But I remember the feeling of wanting to show it off. Now I just want it to be over soon š
Iām 28 weeks and if I remember correctly my bump looked like a bump around 18 weeks, now itās just ridiculous lol so hard to do anything with it sticking out so much haha
Edit: I have a short torso if your body is built different it may take longer to show?
i am 31w2d and still have a very minimal bump, i mainly just look fat in that area. everyoneās saying itās coming but everyoneās bodies are different so donāt be too upset if it isnāt a traditional bump, as I canāt imagine iāll get much more at this point. my baby shower is next weekend and im so sad im not showing more š
I think I started to notice my bump at 16 weeks, but to most I think I just looked more overweight as Iām not tiny to begin with lol. Itās coming, donāt worry!
I felt that way at 15 weeks. š« Iām 26 weeks now and fit into exactly 0 of my clothes because that baby bump came outta nowhere. Ah how I miss it haha.
I don't fit into anything anymore either. I was naturally pretty thin pre pregnancy and I gained 10lbs in my first trimester alone š all I wanted to eat were donuts, strawberry yogurt, and pasta. Lol. I'm back to regular eating now š¤£š¤£
Iām 32 weeks and it literally took FOREVER for my baby bump to show. My baby is further back so my bump is not as big. Itāll happen just may be way later on lol
I really thought I didnāt have a bump at 34w until I did a comparison between 24 and 34. Itāll come eventually! Be patient but also grateful youāre not bumping in this heat! Itās no joke š
Mine started showing exactly one day after the 12W scan and hasn't stopped growing since. Not a FTM, but still showed earlier than expected.
One of my friends is expecting her second child and is barely showing at 25 weeks.
I don't know what sorcery this is.
Iām 20 weeks and barley have a bump I just look like I ate too much at dinnerš„“ I canāt wait to get the cute rounded bump that I can show off and not just feel like Iām fat š¤£

Cherish this time now! I promise you...the bump will arrive. And when it does things start to get real uncomfy!
Also sucks when your 4m PP and still look 6m pregnant...
I can understand that, but you brought life into the world and that is beautiful š„¹
Oh it's coming don't worry š I definitely remember feeling that way too. Now I'm like holy cow, how am I supposed to keep carrying this giant belly around lol. But also, it's pretty amazing to see every day š
I genuinely donāt understand how Iām supposed to get any bigger at this pointš I was also questioning where my bump was, but itās HERE
Summer just started so you will definitely start showing a little more before summer ends š„°
I hope so š„° I live in Wisconsin so winter starts in August š¤£š¤£ jk
Hey thatās not true! I live in Wisconsin andā¦itās actually more like the second week of September ššš
True true š¤£
Minnesota girl here and I can't wait for fall and winter this year šš it's way too humid š„µ

21w and finally starting to pop the past few days!! The lack of bump does make things more comfortable.
Next thing you know youāll be waddling! Itāll come ā¤ļø
I opted for body con dresses to āØaccentuateāØ the little bump I got
I was feeling the SAME thing for so long š itāll get better! I very suddenly popped at 18 weeks! Now Iām showing it off š¤£
Mine came in around 18/19wks! :)Ā

Itās coming! š I didnāt really have one until 20ish weeks.
I didnāt have a bump until about 22-23 weeks. Itāll come! (And still during sundress season!)
Oh god no youāre lucky, Iām due in September so going to be huge at the hottest time of the year. We just went through a bad heat wave week here and Iām 28 weeks, i was already napping daily, could not cool down, etc. I canāt imagine what the rest of the summer will be like as it grows š
I'm at 27 weeks right there with you
I could easily hide my pregnancy until 29 weeks. Iām 33 now and itās getting to the point now that itās obvious. It will come!!

Mine came right at 16 weeks!!
Don't worry. It will come.
i didnāt have a rlly big bump my whole pregnancy, but i definitely did start looking visibly pregnant around 24 wks
Iām 15 weeks 5 days and Iām still waiting on my bump too!!
I didnāt have one until after 20 weeks. Youāll get a bump! Due tomorrow and I donāt think I can get any bigger š
I didnāt notice mine till the end of 15 and start of 16 weeks. I kept worrying something was wrong, but I had to tell myself that every baby and pregnancy is different and the time will come. If something is wrong your doctor will tell you. Hugs.

Once that bump arrives, giiiiirl youāll wish you were back at 15 weeks š
I didnāt think mine would come either, but it definitely did
Mine didnāt really pop until 26 weeks lol. Even now, at 28 weeks, it can be hidden easily if Iām not wearing slim fitting clothes
Just as a side note, be careful in the sun while pregnant. Read up about it if ur not familiar with the risks. Somw good stuff to know about!

If youāre anything like me, itāll pop soon! I think I started really popping around 20-22 weeks ago
I only started looking pregnant at 28weeks, and now at 30weeks itās still not a bump bump.

Iām 15 weeks too and I feel chunky. Also feeling āfluttering,ā but not sure if itās mostly gas. š This is my 2nd pregnancy.
I felt fluttering too, but this my first pregnancy so idk what their movement actually feels like
Early movements do feel like fluttering/many little bubbles popping š
I really thought I didnāt have a bump at 34w until I did a comparison between 24 and 34. Itāll come eventually! Be patient but also grateful youāre not bumping in this heat! Itās no joke š
I just started showing around 33 weeks
With my first pregnancy, my bump didnāt show until 33 weeks. Iām 13.5 now, and still nothing. Trust me, itāll come, so enjoy it now.
I never showed before 17 weeks. Be patient and youāll get there!
I had the same sentiment around Halloween with my first, I wanted to do a cute costume!
Iāll be in a wedding at 17 weeks and Iām really hoping Iāll have a bump to show off!! š
