I'm in my second trimester now and eagerly waiting for my baby bump to show. I'm just curious, where exactly does the bump start from? Is it lower abdomen or higher up?
I was vomiting so much in my first trimester that I actually lost weight, so my bump didn't show until the 5th month! It starts from the very lower part of your belly. Don't stress if you don't see it yet, once the morning sickness fades, the bump will appear!
It starts showing from the lower abdomen as the uterus starts expanding. You will notice your normal jeans getting tight around the waist first. Just buy a couple of comfortable maternity leggings, they are a lifesaver!
Beta, the baby bump starts showing from the lower stomach. In the early months, it might just look like normal bloating, which is very common. Drink warm water and avoid heavy foods to keep your stomach comfortable during this time.
The bump usually starts right down in the lower abdomen, just above your pubic bone. For first-time moms, it generally starts showing around 12 to 16 weeks. Don't worry if it's not visible early, every body type is different!
With my PCOS, I already had a bit of bloating, so it was hard to tell early on. But normally, the actual baby bump starts showing from the lower belly as the uterus grows out of the pelvis. Just give it some time, it will pop out soon!
