it can sure seem like it happens overnight. I woke up one morning and felt like I'd swallowed a basketball! With this bub i didnt show (well at work, no one knew) til 18 weeks. First bub was a bit earlier strangely enough, but i was a lot thinner that time so it was more obvious.
Mine definitely popped! Around 18 weeks it as like I woke up with a belly! I would say that from the start to the end of week 18 I definitely went from just looking a bit podgy to people asking me how far along I was! You are fine, darl...just have to be patient
Mine was gradual, sorry hon! It feels now like it happened over night but looking at my belly pics, it was a slow process. I think people started to notice my belly more at about 16 weeks and now at 22, there is no hiding it at all. I definitley have propper pregnancy belly now but am often told how 'neat' it looks.
Hun, I was 40 weeks and noone would believe I was due, they would say, no way you are only like 6 months... Some people never get that basketball belly... Hopefully you will get yours soon though...
There will come a point where bub keeps getting bigger and you'll have to stretch.
I can't find it, but there's a pic of my belly at 21 weeks, and I don't look pregnant at all. The bump definitely came a few weeks later though. If you're tall, if bub is your first, if you have good posture (stand straight), if bub is posterior, if you are a little weighty - there's many reasons you might not get a belly for awhile, and then within a week or so, there's no denying that you have a bump.
