Im almost 16 weeks and honestly my bump is barely showing, still fitting into my normal clothes. Everyone keeps asking where is the belly and it makes me a bit self conscious. When did yours actually start showing properly?
I felt so self-conscious in my second trimester because my bump wasn't showing much until week 20. But when it finally popped, it felt so magical and real.
I totally understand how eagerly you are waiting to see that sweet little bump! For most women, it starts showing around the 4th or 5th month, so cherish this quiet time before it grows.
Every mother's body is different, so don't compare your bump size with others. Mine started showing around the 5th month, and it's a beautiful slow process of your baby growing.
Usually, the bump becomes visible after the 16th to 20th week. Instead of buying expensive maternity clothes early on, just use a hairband trick on your regular jeans or wear loose kurtis.
Trust me, once it starts growing, you will miss the days when you could bend down to tie your shoelaces! I am in my 3rd trimester now and feel like a rolling watermelon.
