Is your baby bump big?

I'm 22w 6d and having a baby boy. My tummy is kind of round. I am showing, but I thought that I would be bigger by now. I mostly get the full shape in my belly after I eat. It seems like sometimes my belly is big and other times it goes down. At 19w the dr said that the baby was weighing 5oz. I go to my next app. soon... I know everyone's body is different and how they carry. I just wanted to ask others.   Are you ladies looking like mommy yet?

I think it definitely depends on the woman. I'm 30 weeks now and have gained 13.5 lbs. I'm not showing very obviously. I wish it were totally obvious that I'm pregnant as I fear my baby belly can easily be mistaken as a food belly at times. I've grown weary of people telling me I don't look pregnant (because I figure that just means I look like I've gained weight)! I was a size 8 pre-pregnancy and now I'm around a size 12. A coworker of mine (whose about my same pre-pregnancy size) is due just 2 days before me and she has a beautifully distinguished baby bump. It's also her 2nd child and this is my first. I've read that makes a difference. Now that is a month after your original post, Angelia, are you happy with the size of your baby bump?

I didn't start looking full out pregnant till about 27-28 weeks and it seemingly happened over night and now I'm 30 wks and look like I'm almost ready to pop lol. I've heard it depends on if you're a first time mom or not and body size. I'm a first time and very small. They say FTM take longer to start showing and to get big.

I am 26 weeks now and showing with my little boy. You can tell unless the shirt is huge at this point but im not very big either it feels like maybe 4 inches out belly wise at this point. For me around 22 weeks it was about half of what it is now and i didnt look pregnant i had just started showing bump wise and only people that know me could tell.
