When I was pregnant with my first this woman would join all us obviously pregnant woman at the exercise class and she would rock up in a leotard and had a figure to die for. One day one of the ladies said “Excuse me…I dont mean to be rude but what are you doing here?” ….we were stunned to find that she was 8mths pregnant.
She and I were in hospital at the same time after having our babies and she looked amazing and her bub was 7lbs 9oz and mine was 7lbs 8oz.

Is that her 5 month bump? Wow, I scrolled past it looking for a pregnant one and realised this is it. I had a small 5 month bump with my first, but not this small

It might also be her positioning towards the camera

Everyone’s bumps are different. People just have to stop being so judgemental with each other.

I didn’t show until around 6 months, people I was doing a TAFE class with didn’t know I was pregnant. Then I ballooned right up and have extremely loose skin because it lost its elasticity. I could make an origami swan from it. Everyone shows differently and 5 months is far too soon to have a go. Poor woman.

Wow! Noone gets to judge someone’s baby bump. Seriously. I was sick the entire 9 months and kept losing weight, whilst my baby was growing at a healthy rate. However, this meant I was all baby, but not necessarily as big as others. Nobody gets to judge someone’s baby bump. NO-ONE.

One Mum I knew didn’t show at all until she was 8 months pregnant. I believe it all depends on where the baby is lying. By the way, the baby weighed a healthy 7lb 4oz.

It is what it is. All the best to her.

Her words are beautiful. It shows an expectant mum, full of love and mixed up emotions and accepting of change. Every baby hides differently and body shaming is so wrong.

It’s probably because she has a long torso so the baby has more room to stretch

Everyone is different, if you are thin person chances are you won’t show much at first, I didn’t, most of it starting showing quite late.

My Mum told me about the time when she went for a check up when she was nearly 7 months pregnant. The Dr, that day was a Locum who didn’t even realise she was pregnant until she told him. The slacks she wore during most of her pregnancy when she was pregnant with my younger brother I couldn’t fit into when I was 17 y.o. and back then I was fairly skinny. Mum vomitted all the way through pregnancy and was admitted into hospital a few times to be re-hydrated.

First babies usually don’t show very much – no one knew I was having a baby and I was still swimming and surfing at 8 months pregnant.

My bump wasn’t visible till about the last month as I’m pretty tall & muscular. Both my babies were 9 pounds or more when born so not small.

My mum was so small, she was told to come back to the hospital in a couple of months when in fact she was 9 months and about to give birth to me. It is no-ones business but the mother. If it is her first baby, it is quite normal. Shame on the critics.

Why are so people quick to judge every women is different I am a size 10 and now one knew I was pregnant and I wore the same clothes even at 9months

  Exactly !

All women carry babies different, no baby or pregnancy is the same. Why is everyone so quick to jump and judge.

People need to learn to stop putting their own insecurities onto others.

my last pregnancy I lost 20 kilos (gest diabetes) and my bump looked like I had just had a big lunch, baby was carrying to the back

As long as the baby and mother are healthy, that’s all that matters. Anyway, doesn’t the baby put on more weight in the last trimester?
