bump doesn't seem to be getting bigger

[salmynka]

i swelled up pretty early (my sister did the same) but for the past 2 weeks i don't notice that the bump is growing much.

I still haven't seen a midwife so im hoping this is a normal settling in and nothing to worry about? Did anyone else have a slow down in belly growth?

Sounds normal. You may have also experienced a lot of bloating early on, which could be part of the reason for the swelling.

yeah that sounds very normal, vickie is right, it was probably just bloating in the beginning and now its slowed down, your lil bean is very small so your bumo won't be growing huge amounts yet. give it time and it'll be a big bump x

I agree with above hun, but get yourself in to see a MW as soon as you can for piece of mind. x

thanks all, i was very bloated for a while... I have MW appointment on thursday so hopefully all (or at least some of) my paranoia will will be put to rest then.

That is totally normal. My bump was bigger at 10 weeks than it was at 12 weeks.
