I am 14 weeks and still look mostly same, only bloated by evening. People keep saying second trimester mein belly dikhega, but mine is small. When did you start showing?
It really differs for everyone. With PCOS, sometimes there can be bloating that can confuse things, but the actual pregnancy bump usually becomes noticeable in the second trimester, around 16-20 weeks. Just focus on staying healthy, and the bump will come when it's time. Don't worry if it's not like others.
Oh, this is something I've wondered about too. I see some women showing so early, and others later. I think it also depends on your body type and if it's your first baby, maybe. I imagine it's a very special feeling when it starts to show.
It varies wildly. For first-timers, usually around 16-20 weeks, sometimes even later if you have a strong core. With subsequent pregnancies, it tends to show earlier. It's not a race, your body will do its thing when it's ready. Don't stress.
For me, with my first baby, I didn't really start showing until almost 6 months! Before that, it just looked like I had a bit too much dinner, haha. But then suddenly one day, poof, there was a bump. Everyone is so different, so don't compare too much, just enjoy the journey.
Honestly, in my case, I was so bloated in the first trimester that I felt like I was showing, but it wasn't the actual baby bump! The real, firm baby bump only properly started to show around 5-6 months. Before that, it was just soft. It's exciting when it finally pops!
