This Thursday I will be fifteen weeks pregnant

Some say this is four months, but I believe it’s not quite four months. My baby bump is starting to show. My midwife is saying that I am not showing lots of uterine fluid which means I look smaller compared to others.

A baby bump, or the rounded abdomen of a pregnant person, typically becomes visible between 16 and 20 weeks, though it may appear sooner in subsequent pregnancies or later for first-time mothers. While initial, early swelling is often due to bloating, a noticeable, firm bump usually develops during the second trimester as the uterus grows.


I am very excited about this process, as you might have sensed already, and in five weeks I will have my second scan during which we might find out what sex baby is.
