Where is my bump??

[Amelia8083]

I'm the same size as you and this is my 3rd pregnancy... not a bump at all. I was kinda was really worried that baby wasn't growing, but had a scan at 10wk+2 and baby was happy as can be and very snug under my pubic bone.

Also, my boobs are the same size as when I was a teenager lol. With my son, they got a smidge bigger, but not enough to change cup sizes, was stuck in A's and still am. And I successfully breastfeed my son til 20 months - cup size has nothing to do with milk production

Oh darn, everyone keeps telling me that this is my chance to have bbs for a change. lol oh well, as long as they can still do what they are meant to. My mom is tiny too, I shouldn't have expected any different. Thank you!

I going to take a guess (sorry did read every post if you already mentioned it) but this is your first pg? I actually didn't show until I was 5 months with my first! Then all of the sudden I looked really PG LOL.

Yes, this is my first. And it took so long to get here that I really want that bump! 5 months is a long time to wait but I will manage.

I asked the same question b/c I so wanted to show but I didn't get a noticeable bump until around 22 weeks. Hang in there it will show up.

I see that you are almost due, that is so exciting! Good luck

Funny thing cause I have a friend who was skinnier than I was when I had my first and she was showing before 8 weeks and it was hard so no bloat. It is funny how everyone is different. So who knows maybe with in the next week you will start to show. Everyone is truly different!!

Uterus is still below your pelvic bones at 10 weeks. Any "showing" you would have by this point would be bloat, anyway. You're right on track!

Be careful about how easy it is to compare pregnancies when we use sites like this a lot. People talk a lot about their perceptions about their pregnancies that just don't mesh with scientific fact. Some like to say they started showing at 8 weeks or they had a bump by 9 weeks....well, so did I, and then it all went away at 13 weeks until I got my REAL bump at about 18 weeks (although some people do legit start showing around 13 weeks or so esp if it's not their first). Then in second tri you get people say they definitely felt baby kick at 12 weeks. If that ever happens it must be an extremely rare outlier...it's so hard to read through! I have even read people who said they felt movement at 7 weeks. Anyone who's seen a 7-week ultrasound can tell you it's not so. Even the first wiggles around 10 weeks would be nowhere near uterine wall enough to feel. These women are feeling pulsations of their uterine artery or muscle spasms in or around the growing uterus and swearing up and down it's their child's movement.

Maybe I'm the only one who's constantly reading this stuff and thinking "Well, am I normal then?" But I'm guessing it's a common experience!

No my midwife specifically asked me if I had felt movement (at 11w) because you feel them earlier with subsequent babies. At 12+2 my baby was pretty much 6cm and jumping about so it's not as if itd be impossible.

Hmm. I have been told by my doctors that before 11 weeks it is essentially impossible and before 14 weeks it is extremely rare. 6cm is so small to feel movement. My baby is a foot long right now and there are times when she moves (I see lots of movement on ultrasounds) and I can't feel it. But, who knows!
