12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

It's probably not that obvious to some people what's a bump and what's not. I've seen some people with very pronounced bumps and thin elsewhere but they were quite old and/or male so most likely not pregnant!

Sorry to hear you are all having dreadful commutes I'm sure all that will come to me as the belly expands. Suddenly a 40 min tube journey isn't looking that exciting! In good news I had my 16 week appointment today and they found the heartbeat which was really reassuring. Hasn't properly stopped me worrying though :S

When did everyone's bumps start to show? Wondering when I'm going to have to tell workmates.

Starting to show already (16 weeks) but it is my second pregnancy- the first it was about 20 weeks. However I haven't gained as much weight this time so it's a bit more obvious as a bump.

It amazes me how different each area is, we get one visit and to check the baby and not the house apparently. I'd quite like more - just to check everything is ok!

On a good note I got some crutches from the physio and a referral for aqua natal classes. I should buy shares in ncp who own the hospital carpark, I'm up to £24 in parking now and still no baby! It will cost a bomb on the actual day

On a good note - I have bought some goodies from eBay - finally found some nice jeans and dresses. So my leggings and yoga pants can be given a rest.

I'm still on the hunt for a decent maternity bra. Has anyone found one?

I probably could hold off a few more weeks but I feel like people are looking as I'm a bit skinny and to me seems quite noticeable. Probably no one has yet though. Also can't pull in the stomach walking around any more!

I've been in maternity jeans since 11 weeks, they're so comfortable! Feel like I've got a big bump already but would only be noticeable to people who know me very well, anyone else would think I've just eaten a bit much lol.

With my first I was in maternity stuff by 9/10 weeks.. after him it was by about 5-6 weeks. With my last one I POAS because my jeans were tight.. I look like I am about to drop by 22 weeks apparently, have done with them all... Some people just carry differently.

Not helped with having loooong babies because OH is 13 inches taller than me!

I have been very naughty and bought some dresses/tops because I feel like a big fat frump and my leggings have just had to go in the bin

I am 24 weeks today. This pregnancy is flying past.

There is no doubt I am preggers. This was me last week:



I guess I can almost officially join the big pregnancy thread now!

We'll be staying team yellow because I like the idea and it seems nice and old fashioned. Also I am not a big fan of pink=girl and blue=boy so baby will wear all the colours regardless! I'm hoping not knowing will keep things nice and MSE too as we wont go crazy buying clothes before we need them.

Me too! In fact I'm getting really cross with how pink/blue everything in the shops is!

I'm getting impatient with this inbetweeny stage. No real bump ("bump" is all bloat - baby is still down low just above my pubic bone) so I feel like a fraud when my tummy is sticking out

Haven't felt it move yet either. Worrying a lot. Can't wait to be "properly" pregnant!

Have my 16 week appointment today with the midwife (or mid-husband as my DH likes to call him, midwife just doesn't sound right for a guy lol). Hope i will get to hear the heartbeat, not heard it yet
