Worried about baby bump size ......

[MummyDuck]

I think you have a nice little belly happening there....... I was about the same size as you. Don't worry - I have heard many stories where from about 24 weeks to around 36 weeks you just pop!!

Bugalug, I'm nearly 17wks and my tummy is a little smaller than yours. I think I look like I've eaten too many burgers, not pregnant! I wouldn't worry about the size of your bump at all, esp if it's your first bub. Some people are just lucky to have a neat little tummy. I hope I'm one.

I think actually this week i have just started to pop!! hehe Went for my 19 week u/s today, everything is great and where it should supposed to be!! My little cgerub is a cheeky one and doesn't like performing for the camera - always putting its hands over its faces...

We didnt find out the sex, we are going to wait! As much as we want to find out though...

Anyway thanks for ur replies, and you both are having H & H pregnancies!!

I felt flutters at 12 weeks. I felt taps at 16 weeks. I felt kicks at around 20 weeks.

Everyone's tummy varies so don't stress about it. It will pop out.

I'm 23w 5d and although I feel I've popped out heaps there are still a number of people at work who have not noticed I'm pregnant (I know they'd say something if they knew).

I'm just over 20 weeks and still wearing my normal jeans I think I just look like I've had a few too many muffins lol. My last pregnancy I weighed more and looked pregnant sooner.

I felt this bub moving early, around 15 weeks, but then I've had 3 before. This one I have an anterior placenta, but I have been feeling movement down fairly low and also at the sides. Hubby felt him kick about 2 weeks ago as well

They must know when they're being watched... Josie was asleep the whole time my 19 week scan was being done, I had to jump, jiggle, wriggle, practically do cartwheels to get her to move for the scan!!

I think your belly looks great. I am 26 weeks and only really started popping out at about 21 weeks. It depends on what I am wearing too as to how obvious it is.

Last night I went to the earlybirds class at the hosp. and checked out everyone's bellies. People keep telling me i look small for dates (even though I feel like an elephant!!) but I think I am about average.

Where are you having your baby? Noticed you are from the coast too. I am having mine at Nth Gosford. How far through your course are you? I am a teacher. Only 8 weeks of work left - yay!

Glad you're not worried anymore Bugalug!

Just in case anyone with a small belly needs any encouragement about their belly size, you couldn't tell I was pregnant at 20 weeks with my first. If anyone's really concerned I can PM you a link to the the photo for reassurance - but he was 9.4lb, so really, it just depends on your body shape, your posture, their position...heaps of stuff.

nicca - i'm having the bub at wyong, closer to home for us than gosford. I was so confused about choosing where to go, but i just made my mind up. If anything goes wrong i can easily be transferred to gosford. I'm in my last year of uni !! So looking forward to finishing, but its really hard now having the distraction and excitiement of the baby, but i'll get through. (hopefully)

Apparently from my scan, my placenta is at the front of my uterus, so this may explain why i havn't felt any prominant movement yet. I have felt some tiny little pops, stuff like that, but being my first i could be imagining it!!! lol
