2nd Trimester

Size 14/16 girls...

Anyone willing to share your bump pics?  I was size 14 before I got pregnant, so I have always had a little flab in my mid section.  But now, that lower abdomen section is really pushing out.  No pants fit, nothing.  I have only gained like 2 pounds.  But my biggest issue is that I am so lumpy.  Most smaller girls start showing lower and it creaps higher, but I swear mine is pushing out all over...except my belly button.  That whole line at my belly button is one big indent.  I wish I had my camera here to show you what I mean.  Anyone brave enough to share their bumps?  Does it get better?  If so, when?  Or will I have lumpy baby belly for the next 6 months?

  • I was a 12 pre-preg and I have tons of bump pics. Look in my bio.

  • Yep, I was a size 14 when I got pregnant.  This is my 13 week belly picture:

    my bloat & previous lumpiness just sort of morphed into the belly.

    and then today:

    It's FINALLY starting to round out vs looking like a "B" with an indent.

  • I don't have a picture here, but I was a size 16 pre-pregnancy and I still feel like I'm more chubby than bump-y. That's not a word, but you know what I mean. My belly has gotten more round in the last week or so.

  • It's different for everyone, no matter what your clothing size is.  I was a 12 pre-pregnancy and a 14 now (I'm uber tall) and I was definitely 'showing' pretty early.  Bump pics are in siggy.
  • There are a few in my blog.  I don't have one up for the last few weeks, though.  I'm 23 weeks and just starting to look pregnant, though someone looking at me would not be sure i was pregnant, they'd just wonder.
    ***************************** Our beautiful daughter was born in October 2009. Turns out she was quite the miracle. After two years of TTC, diagnosed with DOR. A couple of failed treatment cycles later, we decided to let go of our hope for more biological children and explore adoption.
  • I was a 12/14 pre-preg and I was kinda lumpy for a while but it has evened out as of late.  I haven't gained any weight from pre-preg so I know it wasn't extra fat that I gained that made me lumpy (lost 11 and gained 6-7 back so far).  I don't have any bump pics though.  Sorry.
  • I was a size 14 pre pg and I'm 5'8".

    This is my first and I'd say the bump actually started looking like a bump (vs flab) around week 16. My latest bump pic is in my siggy.

  • I understand.  I'm a size 14 apple shaped girl (have that lovely spare tired all around), so at almost 20 weeks, you can't see a baby belly at all.  I didn't show much with my first pregnancy either.  I think, too, that it's partially because I had gestational diabetes and lost a lot of weight for a while and then was on a very controlled diet, but my son only turned out to be 5 lbs 8 oz.  I wonder when my belly will pop so everyone sees this baby.  A co-worker in another department is much smaller than me pre-pregnancy size and only a couple of weeks further along and her belly popped a long time ago.
  • I was/am a size 12... sometimes 14 depending. I have no bump at all. Most of my pre-preg clothes still fit, and I have lost 4lbs since I first went to the doctor (with no morning sickness, go figure, when you try to lose weight, you lose it??). Anyways, as soon as my belly starts to look even remotely pregnant, I will for sure post a pic.
  • I was a 16 pre-pregnancy.  My 24 week picture is in my siggy.  Here is my 14 week picture.

  • I was a 14 pre-pregnancy any the pic in my sig was taken yesterday.
  • I was a 12/14 pre-pregnancy, but I never really had that B shape belly. It just was bloat, then bump. For reference:
