13 weeks chal raha hai and my pet is still totally flat, nothing showing. Bohot excited to see a small bump finally haha. When did it start showing for u all?
Don't rush to buy maternity clothes yet, save that money for the later months and scans! I literally wore my husband's loose t-shirts until month 6 because my bump didn't show much till then. Around the 20-week anomaly scan is when you might need to buy a few bigger pants.
Haha, enjoy the 'no bump' phase while you can! Till month 5 I just looked like I had a heavy lunch, and now in my 3rd trimester, I look like a walking watermelon. Getting out of bed is a full workout now!
I completely understand if you're constantly looking in the mirror and worrying why you aren't showing yet, I was the same! For me, a tiny bump only started appearing around the 5th month. Every body is totally different, so please don't compare or stress about it.
After our long IVF journey, I was eagerly waiting for that bump to feel 'finally pregnant'. But honestly, it took until almost 18-20 weeks for a noticeable little bump to show up. Be gentle with yourself, your precious baby is growing perfectly fine inside.
Usually, first-timers don't show much until the end of the second trimester. Just eat warm, home-cooked meals and keep your skin moisturized with coconut oil for stretch marks. But if you ever feel any severe cramping or unusual pain, don't wait for the bump and just visit your doctor immediately.
