Early Bump?

I'll be 17 weeks with my first tomorrow and in the last 3-4 days my belly definitely seems to be enlarging, though I've only gained a total of 6 pounds since conceiving. I've even gotten several comments from others about the bump I'm getting.  Not that I mind much, but it just seems sort of early for this.  Other posts I've read suggest that the bump usually doesn't come until 22-24 weeks or so.  Wonder why mine decided to make such an early appearance?

I'm short with an athletic build and I was in maternity pants by 10 weeks...showing by 12. And I'm a FTM. It's one of those things that varies a lot.

I'm short and thin and have a lil bump you can see if I'm wearing form fitting clothes. I'm a STM. But I agree with the other replys if your small you it's normal to show sooner. And 6 lbs is a good weight gain at this stage. Im at 5 at 16 Weeks. Embrace it love the bump
XOXO, JM

I had this exact timeline. Except I'm tall and overweight. There are so many things it can rely on. I personally think that short torsos show earlier.

um no. I have a friend that's a twig and she just started showing (noticeable to strangers) around 24 weeks.

Everyone is different OP - try to relax! :)

I didn't mean to misconstrue my post, I'm certainly not unhappy.  On the contrary I can't wait to have a full blown bump. DH smiles ear to ear when he looks at it.  = )

I'm nearly 17 weeks and have quite a bump now as well.  I'm not skinny to begin with, so I don't think that has anything to do with it.

Not necessarily.  I'm 5'10 and I was about 125 PP and I didn't show until about 21-22 weeks.

I've been the same way. My weight gain has been minimal but my bump has been showing for a few weeks. I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and the only time you can't tell I'm pregnant is if I'm wearing a hoodie or something like that. Everyone is so different! :

I'm short, so I started showing early. Someone at work noticed when I was 16 weeks.

I noticed a bump laying down at 18 weeks and I definitely had one for my anatomy scan at 19 weeks exactly. Everyone is different and saying the thinner you are the earlier you show is crap. It depends on your uterus and the way you carry.

I'm 15 weeks today with my first and at my OB appt, she confirmed, it's bump, not bloat....so it's definitely possible to show early even with your first! Everyone is different and shows at different times. Congrats on getting the bump! :)

everyone is different!! my bump started to show at 10 weeks. both people who already knew i was pregnant and some who didn't saw the bump. i was very shocked since i hadn't gained any weight yet (and i have extra padding) and i only found out i was pregnant 2 weeks earlier. now i have only gained a total of like 3lb. and the bump is way out there.

Not true! I'm pretty thin and had super nice abs and I didn't show until 22 weeks. My SIL on the other hand is super tiny and was showing from early on like 1415 weeks. Everyone is different.

Sorry meant to quote the thinner=earlier comment

RussianMommy:
the thinner you are, the earlier you'll show

Actually, showing early or not depends on body shape. I'm 5'5 and was 170 PP. I'm all boobs and booty usually... I started showing at 13 weeks. Only gained under 15 lbs in 25 weeks overall, but it all went to the boobies and the belly.

Everyone shows differently!! I am small and short waisted which has caused me to show early each time. I'm 16 weeks and I've got a cute preggers belly. Or that's what dh says anyway!
