Should I be worried?

So I am 16 weeks today but with a tiny tiny bump and I keep seeing other women not as far along as me with big bumps or women who are 16 weeks with bump but you can’t even tell I’m pregnant by looking at me should I be worried or has this happened to anyone else? Any advice is welcome and took on bored 🙂

Im the same im 19 weeks 1 day today and have almost no bump just a tiny tiny one and i get really worried, im so anxious even tho apparently its normal because everyone’s different and we shouldnt compare our selves to others, i wouldnt be too worried and if you are speak to your midwife they should offer you help as its not good for you to stress now xx

Then it should be fine especially if it was all ok on your scan but i dont blame you as pregnancy can be very stressful

I’m 16 weeks with my second, didn’t really show with my first until about 24 and even then it was really easy to hide. I thought I’d show earlier this time but still not 🤷🏻‍♀️ everyone is different

I’m 18 weeks and just look like I’ve eaten a big dinner! Still fit in my jeans! I know how you feel though, excited to get a bump 🥰

Hi 💕 I'm just 19 weeks and hardly any bump, it comes and goes which I'm assuming is bloating on top of a mini bump?! We're all so different and my mum said she was around 22 weeks when she popped. Sounds like you're all healthy and I'm sure before no time bump will properly pop XX

I have only just started to get a bump and I'm 20 weeks

Don’t be anxious, with my first I didn’t show properly until about 6 months. Some people have bigger bumps because they’ve had previous pregnancies, but even if you have I still wouldn’t worry. Bump size really indicates nothing at all, someone don’t show at all the whole way through.

Honestly we are all different, and a lot of what you are seeing are women who have had a baby or multiple
pregnancies show sooner or even larger and it’s just the way the body works. Our body has already stretched to that capacity before so it happens much quicker. My first baby I didn’t show until around 6mos but I’m on my third and I feel huge at 20weeks.

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!
