It does all depend & it's different for everyone. With my last one I wasn't showing at all at Christmas then when I walked into my in laws on new years eve my sister in law went "bloody hell where'd that come from, it's only been a week!" 🤣

isn’t that amazing - I’ve heard that it can just pop out of nowhere!

thank you hun xx

thank you that’s good to know.. I’ve always heard the second baby shows a lot sooner. This is my first x

yeah its definitely the case for me! This one is not shy lol x

@Angela it definitely did 🤣 it was gradual with my first but my second just appeared out of nowhere 🙈 I have a feeling this one will be gradual. I can feel a little hard bump now but I still have a c-section tummy so it's hiding at the minute! The other two were both girls though so I can't even say genders make it differ 🤣 my second was a wild child so I'm assuming she just commanded attention making her sudden appearance 🤣

I am 15+2 and feel flat as a pancake :( first baby tho so I’m told it’s completely normal

It’s normal for you not show! I know a lot of people who don’t even show at 6 months! This could also be due to you carrying the baby more to the back if you are! But I know they say from like 20 weeks onwards depends on your body type tho

My neighbours found out I was pregnant with my first when they saw baby clothes drying on the line outside, I was 30 weeks 😂

how lovely their personalities shining through so quickly! We are trying to guess the gender now! Do you believe in the skull theory? I’m trying to work out nub theory too.. at 12week midwife guessed girl said she was 70%.
With the bump.. I think as it’s my first and I can’t see or feel anything it making me worry! I’m 14+3 now! Xx

okay me and you both! I just worry because I can’t feel anything. Some have told me they don’t show until 20 week mark xx

thank you that makes me feel better! It’s my first so questioning everything!!!!!!! X
I’m tall - 5”9 everything about me is long and always worked out. Xx

oh my goodness 30 weeks! Wow xxx

that’s a lovely photo I love the idea of the sign ❤️ definitely a baby bump there xxx

lovely ❤️❤️❤️

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
