Bump just feels like fat....16 weeks

[Wannabemum96]

hey ladies, so I’m 16 weeks pregnant (2nd baby) tomorrow and when I’m standing I defiantly look like I’ve got a bump but when I feel it or lie down it just feels like fatness, however when I’m standing I can’t suck it in or anything. Is this normal?? I honestly can’t remember what I was like with DS

I had problems with a haematoma earlier on and although baby was perfectly healthy at both scans I’ve had I still feel like I’m anxious about it being ok....it’s been a hugely stressful time for numberous reasons and today I had a friend show me pictures of her bump at 16 weeks and it was a very obvious big hard bump so now I’m worrying this isn’t normal.

16 week check is on Monday, exhaustion is killing me right now I cannot seem to keep up with life....I’m hoping they might listen for baby then I can relax a little (I know they don’t always tho

I’m 17 weeks on Monday and when I lie down I try to feel for something... anything! But I just can’t feel anything even though my midwife said she could feel my uterus right at my belly button. I’m so confused what I should be feeling!

My belly looks like it’s sticking out sooooo much more during the day when I’m stood up but I swear what I feel is a thicker layer of fat! The weird thing is my belly is sticking out more and more but I’ve LOST weight so I’m totally just as confused as you I think!!!

Im nearly 15 weeks pregnant with Baby number 2. When standing I definitely look pregnant now and in the last couple of weeks it just seems to have popped out. But when I lay down it just looks like a blob of fat. I think its normal at this stage. I remember showing early when pregnant with DS (early for first baby)cos even though im tall i have a short body. So the only place to go is outwards. But I can't remember when I felt it as a bump rather than just feeling fat. Im definitely bigger this pregnancy though at the same stage.

Phew thank you ladies!!! Glad it’s not just me!! Maple_fairy I’ve lost weight too probably due to all the stress I’ve been under.

Bring on the big hard bumps lol!!
