Do you think I’ll get a cute bump? 😩

Question

I’m 5w1d, 5’1, and weigh about 200 lbs. I’m pretty bloated in this picture. (this baby bloat has been unreal!) Is there any ladies with the same body type as me that got a cute bump?? And if so, when did you start showing? I’m so worried I’ll never get a cute bump, and I’ll just look fat! 😣

Answer

I was 230 5'8 when I got pregnant. Gained 30lbs of pure baby weight (it was all gone 3 days after birth)
I think my bump was pretty cute. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

I started this pregnancy at 210 and was so worried I wouldn’t get a cute bump like I wanted. I’m 32 weeks now and am def showing. I feel like I started to show at around 25-26 weeks. This picture is from 30 weeks. 
Honestly tho wearing maternity clothes will help round out your belly and make you feel much better about being pregnant as a plus size woman. We need to embrace it our bodies are amazing and I know you’ll get your bump and it will be the best ☺️

Answer

This is me at almost 19 weeks 3 days. I’m 5’0 and weigh 215. It looks like baby bump to me (well I know it’s one from watching/feeling my body change) but I feel I’m also in an awkward is she getting bigger or pregnant stage.

Answer

Im bigger and a little taller. I like to think I have a cute bump. This is me at 32 weeks. I didn’t start showing until about 28 weeks and then I popped. It will come. And it will be satisfying!!

Answer

I started my pregnancy right around where you are at; I'm 5'6", with a lot of it in the booty, so pretty thick. You'll start to bloat pretty bad in the next couple weeks, but just be patient. A lot of moms on here like to bog down the joy other women have by saying "it's not a bump, just bloat", but you should celebrate the fact that it's baby bloat and be positive about it. It may or may not go down before your actual bump appears. I'm 13 weeks here in this picture. I had HORRIBLE ab strength (had a pretty flat stomach, but it was just genetics), so that contributes greatly to how early you show. It's a bit of baby bump, tummy fat, and maybe some bloat mixed together for me, but like I said, it's caused from a baby, so you should celebrate. I've found that leggings and maternity shape wear are a life changer. You'll get your bump. I was also anxious and so ready to have my bump as soon as I found out. It'll come 😊

Answer

I'm pretty much exactly your measurement & you'll definitely show eventually. I would say I didn't really show until I was about 6 months. I am now 33 weeks & you can definitely tell, even though in your mind you'll think your just big.

Answer

Thank you ladies so much! You’ve given me the confidence to take my first “bump” picture! (Even though it’s literally ALL bloat.. so much bloat) 😂 You’re all so beautiful and your bumps are precious! Thank you for your kind words! 🤗

Answer

You’ll show, don’t worry! I started out at 217 and I’m 5’6”. It did take a little longer for me to “pop”, but now she’s huge! This is at 30 weeks 😊

Answer

I'm the exact same height and size as you and I have to say you carry it very well! I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and just look round and awful like mr potato head! Lol

Answer

I started off almost exactly the same as you! my bump popped out within the last few days! I was really worried I wouldn't get one either but people are starting to notice at 17 weeks 3 days :) good luck!
