Why do some women get big bumps early?

Question

The baby is only but so big in the early stages, so why do some women get so much bigger than others early on? I’m 16 weeks with my first and I barley have a pudge 🥺 and I know it’s bloat/water if I do. I understand with more than one child you show quicker but for first timers that showed so quick does anyone know why? I’m jealous of all these big bumps. 😭

Answer

Because women all beautiful & unique - we all carry our weight differently. It is going to depend on your body shape.

Answer

It can actually reflect strong muscle tone, so in a way maybe it's a good thing. I have 4 kids and my subsequent pregnancies I showed very early because I was already stretched out.

Answer

I had a big bump early but it was mostly bloat

Answer

Depends on your anatomy, your fitness/muscle tone, what number baby etc. My bump didn’t appear until 24weeks.

Answer

I'd you're in shape it will take longer to show too. The better your abs are the longer it takes to stretch them out. It will come don't you worry. Enjoy being tiny while you can!

Answer

So funny a lot of women are jealous some women have a bump early in pregnancy. I’m the complete opposite! I’m hoping I won’t get a bump soon. I like the idea of wearing my regular clothes as long as I can, sleeping on my belly as long as possible, and a big belly doesn’t seem that comfortable or practical to me. And the longer I can walk around without looking like mother goose, the better. 😂

Answer

Because, honestly, I was already chubby before pregnancy. ‘Overweight’.. So at 8 weeks with my first baby I looked 5+ months. But my belly didn’t actually pop out til about 22 weeks. 
Now ‘obese’ with my second I looked 6 months pregnant at 5 weeks again. 
Every women’s body is different. We all carry differently, don’t be sad. It will pop out eventually

Answer

You'll pop, give it time. Every woman is different you can't compare yourself to anyone else.
