Overweight mamas, when did you first notice a bump?

Question

Hi ladies! I’m currently 11 weeks with my first baby and due to being on the heavier side I’m worried I’ll never have an actual bump and just keep looking chubbier and chubbier lol 😭😂. I’m 5’3 and currently 183lbs at 11 weeks, so far I’ve lost weight rather than gained but I don’t expect that to continue. Just wondering when some of you other “ticket” mamas started really noticing a bump, or had other people notice it? Thanks in advance!

Answer

I’m 5’3 and was 175 lbs before I got pregnant. Everyone started saying I had a bump around 16 weeks but I still felt like I was that big before. I think I started to actually show around 24-26 weeks. This picture was when I found out at 6 weeks

This one was 9 weeks

This one was 16

This one was 24 weeks I think. And I think it’s where I actually look pregnant.

Answer

I'm almost 19 weeks. I've consistently lost weight which my doctor is actually happy about. He is keeping a close eye on the baby but my bmi is high so he said I would be fine if I didn't gain any weight at all as long as I'm eating enough and baby is healthy. He said weight loss should not be my goal though. 
As far as showing, I can tell and my partner can tell. Everyone else keeps commenting on how good I look from losing weight. No one knows we are expecting. My partner and I are making a game of it. We are seeing how long it takes people to notice. I'm almost to the half way mark and no one knows haha!

Answer

I’m 5’4” 186 when I got pregnant. I started showing around 17 weeks.

Answer

26 weeks

Answer

5’4” and pre-pregnancy I fluctuated between 168-174. I started noticing a little more bump than bloat about 17w. Currently 26w but I still haven’t “popped,” so I guess it just looks like I have a gut. My belly isn’t cute and rounded though it’s kind of just growing out in the front.

Answer

Around 26 weeks it was noticable to other people.
