Early pregnancy bump, how big is normal?

There is no “normal” but I found mine went up and down a lot. Some days I looked huge and others hardly nothing. You also carry a lot of water in the beginning and are very bloated. You look great though so just embrace it 😊

I had a lot of bloating in the first trimester and it seemed almost larger than it is now on week 9-10! Also had the same worries that it’s too big, but now the digestion improved and it looks a lot more like a “normal” small bump at my 14 weeks.

No bump size is “normal” as we all have different bodies! Some ladies show earlier some are smaller than others on same weeks etc. my hunk was so tiny I didn’t pop until about 30/32 weeks. Don’t compare your bump to others as we are all different! Also people who have been pregnant before show earlier as well 😊❤️

I showed early on too as this Is my first pregnancy bubs is growing at a good size and I am now currently 24 weeks. I wouldn't worry at all as our bodies change and react differently to what's going on :)

Bro I feel fucking massive

I’m 7weeks and honestly I feel a hell of a lot further along than I actually am 😂 can’t fit into my jeans anymore but I know it’s too early to buy maternity clothes 😂

I’m the same way. I told my husband I feel so pregnant but I’m only like 6 weeks pregnant

Congratulations 😊 I was looking that big by almost 10 weeks with my girl and with my first I was that big at roughly 20 weeks (son)

I’m literally 5 weeks and 2 days. This was 3 days ago 😅🙃 this is my second pregnancy. I feel like its mainly all bloat 🥴

I started showing very early in with all 3 of my Blessings (@13wks with all )

There isn't a "normal", everyone , and every pregnancy is different! 🥰 I only started to look pregnant at 7 months, and by 9 months my bump was still tiny.

Im already huge at 8 weeks

Every bump is different and beautiful in its own way 🥰 you also might be having multiples 😁

I'm almost 10 weeks and have been starting to wonder if I'm actually showing. Between the little mom pouch I put on durring quarentine and the pregnancy bloat, I can't tell if I have a little bump or if it's just the former.

Could just be lots of bloating. You look fab

That’s not unusual at all! Don’t be surprised, but it could just be bloating! It’s different than pre pregnancy i ate too much salt kind of bloated lol.

Still have nothing at 18w1d

I looked pregnant super early with both kids but then it didn’t grow much bigger until 15+ wks. Everyone’s body and each pregnancy is different. Typically subsequent pregnancies you show sooner & feel more.

I had a huge bump at just 12 weeks the first time and 8 weeks the second time. There was no hiding it! There is no 'normal' and everyone is different. Do not let anyone make you feel self conscious about it. People will make stupid comments about your bump throughout your pregnancy without thinking

12 + 2 and no bump at all 🤔 I am concerned sometimes, but i guess it all depends on the body 😊

My belly gets bigger and then smaller. It’s all water and gas retention, although I pretend it is part of my bump. 😁🤭

I did that is why I think they calculations was off my baby was doing shit at 10 weeks that they say wouldn't start till 2 months like me being 36 weeks tommorow but lost my moucous plug 3 weeks ago and is dilated 3cm for 3 weeks as well so I would assume you are probably like further than they say like I am

I’m now the same size at 12.5 weeks as I was at 9!!!! For a second at 10.5 weeks my stomach was basically flat again, and then started to fill out again. Turns out my 9wk bump was truly all bloat 🤣🤣🤣 Listen times were tough... I was still trying to eat lots of lentils and beans like the books say, even though in life I avoid them at all costs, bc they give me bloat and gas pains SOOOO bad.

I got my bump very early it was really big and then it didnt really get alot bigger until alot further on xxx

I definitely had a "bump" at 8w, but it's honestly gas and water retention at that point - your uterus is still well behind your pubic bone at this point! you look adorable, nonetheless 🥰 embrace the blump!

Honestly that depends what one looked like before pregnancy. Also if it's 1st or second child. All bumps are different and beautiful! 🤰🤰🤰

Im a slim person but showed straight away and for 13 weeks I am sooo obvious and quite big Id say!!! I think a lot of it was watee retention and bloating I guess, but now it seems like a proper bump lol there's no holding it in either 😂😂already in maternity trousers xx

I was like this at 7 weeks by the end of my pregnancy i was massive people use to ask if I was pregnant with twins and my midwife said baby was gona be big, turns out I had loads of water and my son only weighed 5lbs9 oz xx

I didnt start showing till I was 6 months along. Everyone is different.

I felt like I was showing a lot right at the beginning, and I think it was because my body was producing a lot of relaxing (or reacting to it, I'm no scientist), so my abs toooootally stopped working. I realized I normally use my core to keep my back straight and my stomach in and as soon as I got pregnant I just...couldn't. It wasn't the baby showing yet, just my body holding itself differently. Now im at 29 weeks and im measuring right on track.

You look beautiful! All pregnant people are beautiful and unique across all stages of pregnancy! In the beginning our bumps may be just growing uterus or bloat...not usually baby because they are so little, but soooo much else is happening in there! Embrace it all and be gentle with yourself! Its all beautiful and its all normal 🥰

The more I see this post, the more annoyed I’m getting.. ‘How big is nomal?’ There’s NO NORMAL because everybody is different! Also depends on your shape & weight prior to pregnancy💜

Not at all! Weight gain will also depend on morning sickness and nausea! People who don’t experience either should have a better appetite to be eating all around them. You look great btw! Xx

There is a lot of bloating at first. The bump bump comes much later. Enjoy it all it’s just brilliant 😀X

I think all belly sizes are normal ❤️ everyone carries different and that’s okay

100% !!!!

A lot of this is , bloating. I mean baby at 10 weeks is teeny tiny and barely forming.

Everyone is different!!

I'm the same 8 weeks and look 9months. This is my third. Your body will do what it wants I wouldn't worry enjoy having your bump. It goes so quickly. X

People were asking me if I was pregnant at 8 weeks! Needless to say the cat got out of the bag early

Mine totally changes. 2 days ago I looked about 6 months pregnant and today looks like I've had a big meal. I'm 17 weeks. I can't wait to have a bump to cherish it and enjoy it. You look lovely xx

Everyone is different. I was like you. At 6 weeks, I looked 3 months pregnant lol. I’m a petite person so I did show more of course. But, I had a big ole boy. He came out 10 lbs. I gained 55 during my pregnancy. My bump was ALWAYS very there from the time I found out and on.

If this is your second pregnancy then you’ll show earlier

You’re lucky! I was stressing my entire pregnancy because I didn’t start showing until 26/27 weeks! Everyone carries differently! Congrats’

everyone carries different but it's honestly probably bloating, i feel like i was bigger around the first few months then i was now at 37 weeks 😂

Keep in mind some women are bloated in the first few weeks. I know I was. 😅

Beautiful bump! ☺️

Everybody and every pregnant is different! With my 1st daughter I was tiny until the last trimester and with this one now I am currently 3 months and way bigger then with my daughter haha

with my 1st 3 didnt look pregant til 5 months but this time felt like i was showing straight away 23 wks now but think ive evened out ha

i started getting a bump around 9weeks too, it was only when i had my 12week scan they told me i was 15weeks5days so nearly a month further than what i thought 🙈. All bumps/sizes are different x

I had a large bump early, and at my appointment at 10 weeks we found out we were carrying twins. 🤭

We all vary in sizes and shapes, including our bump. So I would consider it normal for you. There’s a good chance, it’s mainly bloat, because I had a bump pretty early on as well, but it went away first thing in the morning, because I haven’t eaten or drank anything yet. It took for my bump to feel hard at the bottom of it, at 15 weeks. That’s when I knew it was her and not bloat, because it wasn’t soft or couldn’t be sucked in. Best of luck, you look gorgeous. 💜
