Fear of massive pregnancy bump!?

Has anyone else got a fear of getting a big bump so early on in their pregnancy? i have a friend whos around 16weeks and she has a bump that looks around 6months preg. After witnessing this ive got really scared incase i get a big bump very early too. im exactly 14weeks and atm i just look fat rather than pregnant lol anybody feel like this too?

I'm 35 weeks and just started showing about a month ago. I really don't look like I'm getting ready to have a baby in three and a half weeks, lol. This is my third baby. With my second i was showing at three months, but he was a big baby.

I read in What To Expect that the beginning of a bump is all to do with your muscles. If you're trim and toned then you hold the bub in for longer before the stretching gets too much and you expand. I had (what i felt was a) big bump early on but it just means clothes shopping a bit earlier on! :)

I'm the total opposite. Wen I first got pregnant everyone said I would get really big early. Here I am now 6months nd look like I'm 3months. U jus have to keep in mind every pregnancy is different

Always get bigger faster with your 2nd+. I am 17w and look 6 months. I didn't show with my first until 20w.

I'm 18weeks with my second pregnancy and feel huge. I definitely showed a lot sooner this time around than with my daughter.
