Getting bigger but no bump

in September 2016 Moms
Gahh I feel like I am expanding everywhere, nothing fits, and feeling uncomfortable, but without an actual bump yet.  It just feels like I'm gaining weight, but don't look at all pregnant.  Anyone else feeling this way while waiting for the bump to arrive?  I don't remember feeling like this with my first.

    I know the feeling!  I lost 8lbs this pregnancy & have gained 6lb of it back....but my clothes wont fit right! Pants are too loose on my thighs/butt but tight around my waist. It's like the only place I gained weight back is my boobs & right below my belly button...which means most of my shirts ride up to be belly shirts

    I guess it's bloating, but I can't tell anymore. At home I haven't gained any weight, but at the doctor's office I've gained like... 3 pounds?

    My fat pants don't fit anymore without assistance. I don't look any different than usual. But I'm also apple shaped, so all of my fat is on top of my stomach, so I don't even know when I will actually start showing baby and not just fat. Ugh.

    I definitely feel this way! I'm 12 weeks though and have gained 8 pounds :( I had no nausea so I feel ahead of the curve.  My stomach is bigger but I feel like it's mostly bloat.  My weighs in my boobs and butt!

    I totally feel the same way! It doesn't look like a baby belly at all - just bloated and like I subsist on fast food  :(

    I've gained less than 5 lbs at 13.5 weeks but just feel thick waisted and a bit self conscious. 

    On the other hand, I don't want to tell work for another 2 weeks at least so I suppose this works to my benefit.

    I am with all of you! I am 16w with twins and was overweight before but now I just feel big and bloated. I am still able to fit most of my clothes but they are not comfortable and I feel like like I am not big enough to fit into my maternity pants. My husband and I have been praying for this for years and I would love to look pregnant!

    Same! I can't tell if it's a bump or blump... Although my clothes for good still, except around the waist area (: I have actually lost about 9 pounds since i found out we were expecting... Were at 16w. On a side note were having a US Friday for the gender reveal!! So exciting (:

    Yup. Had it with my first and didn't get a bump until well after 20 weeks. Happening again with this one.

    I feel like my expanding uterus hasn't formed a bump yet but instead has just pushed all my stomach fat outward.  I am looking awfully pudgy.

    I haven't gained any weight but my belly has gotten big already. I know it is bloat and not baby, but at least the shape is bump like... kind of opposite but makes me look pregnant for ever

    I try to drink lots of water to reduce bloat but all it does is make me have to pee every 20 minutes!

    There is definite wiggle required to get into my jeans lately! I would love some weight in my boobs to even out the new curves of bloat and bum. Alas... ;)

    I'm totally right there with you! I feel huge. I remember with my DS I gained a lot in the first trimester but everything totally balanced out for me in the second and third. I think with this pregnancy it's the same thing plus the fact that I was not in as good of shape as my younger pre-kids self. I'm hoping it all balances out again but at almost 12 weeks I just feel crappy, fat, and tired. Let's just say I waiting for my glow lol.

    Yup, same here. I'm almost 13 weeks and getting pretty thick in the middle but no where else. It's that awkward phase where I don't look pregnant but want to tell people so they don't think I'm just gaining.

    Same here...I'm 14 weeks with #2, and I haven't gained any weight yet, but my belly is definitely getting bigger. I am about 20lbs heavier than I was the first time, so my uterus is just pushing all the fat out, ugh. I really wish I would just start looking pregnant instead of fatter!

    I guess I'm a little off. I haven't gained any weight but I can't suck my belly in anymore. I swear I look like I'm 6 months pregnant, at almost 12 weeks. This is my second pregnancy and DS just turned one year so I'm blaming myself for not giving my body enough time to recover.

    Feeling exactly the same! A few more weeks we should all start to show an actual bump- even if it's a little one!

    I'm 13.4 weeks and my bump is barely there. I mostly look bloated, and feel like my ass is getting huge too. Ugh.

    Ah me too! Ass legs and boobs have expanded but tummy hasn't really changed at all! Im 14 weeks. Didn't help that I was anaemic from b12 deficiency almost my entire 1st trimester so spent most of the day sleeping instead of being active!
