Im almost 14 weeks and my pet is still pretty flat, kind of waiting for the bump to show na. Friends say it shows different for everyone. When did ur tummy actually start showing?
Mine started showing around 18 weeks. Since I had gestational diabetes, I had to be very careful with my diet, which actually kept my overall weight gain low, but the bump grew perfectly.
My bump showed very late, around 22 weeks. Since I had some growth complications, my doctor monitored the baby closely with scans. If you are worried about baby's growth, please consult your doctor instead of guessing by bump size.
I panicked so much because my bump wasn't showing even in my 5th month! But my doctor told me it's completely normal for first-time moms. Suddenly around week 20, it popped out!
According to my doctor, tummy visibility depends on your height, pre-pregnancy weight, and whether it's your first baby. First-time moms usually show around 16 to 20 weeks as uterine muscles are tight.
I started showing around the 5th month. Due to my thyroid issues, I had some bloating early on which made me look pregnant sooner. Regular doctor follow-ups will ensure your baby's growth is on track regardless of bump size.
Beta, every body is different. For some, it shows early by 3rd month, and for some, it takes 5 months. Don't worry about the size, baby is safe inside.
With my C-section delivery, my muscles were already a bit loose, so my bump started showing very early around 14 weeks. Don't compare your bump with others, everyone's body structure is different.
