Currently 16 weeks with an inconsistent bump. Sometimes is noticeable and other times it’s not, anyone experienced this? Currently it went back to almost non existent and am worried

Yes it happens. At this time the baby is really really tiny and the bump is mainly bloat. Just give a few more weeks and the bump will be prominent.

Came here to say this. I started actually showing at more like 18-20 weeks, although I started wearing stretchier pants and dresses much earlier bc of the bloat.

I was the same. At the end of the day and after meals it would be a bit more prominent but not much. At 20weeks I’m consistently bumpin now. You’ll get there too

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
