Im almost 4 months but my pet is barely showing, still looks flat. Everyone notices and asks. By which month does the bump usually start showing properly?
My baby bump started showing around the 5th month, but because of my thyroid issues, I was always anxious about growth. Make sure you keep up with your regular doctor visits and thyroid tests to ensure baby is growing fine.
I was so stressed because my tummy didn't show until the late 5th month, I kept googling if my baby was growing properly! But actually it is very normal, especially for first-time moms.
Around the 5th month, your normal jeans won't fit as the tummy pops out. Instead of buying expensive maternity wear, just buy regular elastic pajamas in a larger size to save money.
I remember feeling so emotional in my 5th month when I could finally see a tiny baby bump in the mirror. It made the whole pregnancy feel so real for the first time.
Having lost a pregnancy before, I was very anxious and waited desperately for my bump to show in my next pregnancy. It finally started popping out around week 18, which gave me some relief.
I stayed at my mother's place during my second trimester, and my mom noticed my bump showing around the end of the 4th month. It depends a lot on your body structure.
