Bump size & Anxiety

I completely understand. I think I look smaller some days than others! I look a lot bigger after a day of eating. Everyone’s bump grows at different rates. I Also have an anterior placenta so haven’t felt movement. I’m 17+5 and I had a scan Tuesday at 17w baby is all good and looks great. Theres nothing better than reassurance and if it’s going to help there’s no harm. But please don’t worry. Your little one is all okay! 🩷 here if you ever want to chat xx

I get this completely I don’t feel very pregnant what so ever and also haven’t felt any movement as such yet but keeping positive until my 20 week scan only a week left 🫠x

Your bump looks lovely! Also appreciating the cat getting involved 😻 I’m 17w and mine is similar in the morning. I feel at that slightly awkward stage in some clothes where it’s just not quite obviously pregnant bump rather than weight gain. I get very bloated if I have a big eve meal and it really comes out then. Enjoy having your current energy levels and make the most of them! If you’re starting to get flutters that shows baby is doing well 💕

There’s no normal bump size that’s for sure! Everybody is different and some people never show during pregnancy. It all depends on how big your baby is, how big your uterus is and how much fluid you’re carrying. I didn’t really show till about 20 weeks! And then my belly didn’t grow much until I hit about 30 weeks. You’re in your second trimester now which is known as the easiest trimester! Your symptoms can disappear and return in trimester 3! Please don’t stress too much about movements at the moment either! You are only 16 weeks and your baby will have quiet days up until 26 weeks but if you ever feel like something is truly wrong then go see a midwife they are more then happy to help and they will always check your baby if you have concerns ❤️

Symptoms are gone - be happy ! Its normal . I had anterior placenta , the reduce movement is a pain 🫤 we ended up with emergency c section due to that. if you worrying go to birthing center they can listen to baby heart. Done it so many times !! Thats the trouble with anterior unfortynetely :( xxxx

I definitely have anxiety like you! Everything I do I’m paranoid it affects the baby, my partner just touching my stomach makes me anxious x

In the EXACT same boat. 3 previous losses. Very small bump. Basically symptomless. Anterior placenta. Had a private gender scan 30/10 and my 20 week scan is 01/12 so have booked an in between scan next week. The anxiety and dark thoughts are off the scale sometimes! If you’re financially in a position to do it then but more importantly keep busy and look after yourself ❤️

I feel the exact same way
I’m just 17 weeks and I’m so little bump wise .. it makes me paranoid - I also have no symptoms … apart from my ezecma being absolutely shit with my hormones 💀

I don’t to see baby again until 7th December too on my 20 weeks scan but I feel like I need to go again to see her just to make sure - I’ve had no movement either and I don’t know where my placenta is 😭😭
