    Daisiegg and peonie, since you are at a similar stage to new, how are the bumps developing? I'm still not really showing at all although my clothes are getting a little tight. I'm back up to my pre-operation weight, which is basically 1kg or so more than my starting weight. My bmi started at 31 so I don't need to gain weight really.
    Oh my goodness, I'm huge. But that's because it's baby bump plus wheat bloating. First thing in the morning and lying down I have a roundness and today I was told my belly had popped. My BMI was 24 but I've put on a lot of weight. Yesterday I tried on my fancy occasion maternity dress. It looked lovely a few months ago but now it's ridiculously tight and looks too short - arghhh.

    I don't think I have a bump at all, I definitely just have a fat belly. my bmi was 35 when I was booked in :( my tummy does tend to get harder during the day but I'm sure that's linked to wind and constipation :( it gets softer overnight, just glad OH is asleep at the time lol

    By 16 weeks the top of my uterus was about 2 inches above my belly button according to the mw so I have an extremely short torso!

    I must remember to ask my midwife where the top of my uterus is next time I see her.

    Oh purcy what a gorgeous bump! I have major bump envy! I am only four foot eleven so in theory I should be the same...no sign of it yet!
