Bumps seem to expand at different rates. Mine has gone through stages of growing and stopping but there is deffo a difference between your 16 week and 20 week/now. Maybe baby has slowed down for a bit and will speed up again later. I think they speed up again at around 26 weeks? My bump is about the same size though and I'm 26 weeks today so I'm sure thats a good thing!
 
I don't think there is anything to worry about. Believe me, it took a looong time for my bump to actually look like one. Everyone says I'm still small for how far along I am. Everyone shows differently, so don't worry:hugs:
 
I'm sure its fine hon, have they been measuring your belly at your appointments? Like the other girls said, everyone is different and some bumps take longer than others :hugs:
 
I felt the same way at one point so I know exactly how you feel :) Since then it's grown a little and is more noticable but I think people still look at me like I've just gained weight. At a meeting today (30 people) I let them know I was leaving in June for maternity leave and half the room said they didn't realize I was pregnant! Oh well...
 
I don't think you have anything to worry about if baby is growing between each measuring, and is active and the heartbeat is ok...

My bump has only just popped out (and I'm 31+3 weeks!). If you're really worried about it (or anything) ask your midwife - it's what they're there for!
