what?
If they got bigger it will no doubt (and dont take this the wrong way) but it will no doubt be that you've gotten fatter or your bloated...hips dont grow over night to my knowlage.

Certainally it would be a medical oddity for the bones to grow over night so more realistically you've just gained a bit of puppy fat

My hips have got bigger over night! :eek: They're not fat but they're just bigger than usual (i quite like them infact :p: ). But is it normal for hips to get bigger that fast at my age? I thought it happened gradually.



How old are you?

It is natural for girls to fill out during their teens, boobs developing, hips get curvier and more fleshier. Everyones different, some people notice they are more curvier or have bigger boobs over night ,for some its a gradual thing.

As long as you like it and are happy, thats all that matters :smile:

Wait 'til you're 17 or thereabouts, it's all downhill from there. It was for me anyway...


(and yes, I think it is normal for your body to change seemingly overnight)

It is just a natural progression of you becoming a woman, i am sure they don't look fat either.

I think wiwarin_mir is just being technical about it.

he was!

they dont look fat but it is fat....why else have women got a higher %body fat than men, were meant to be fatter, curvier and so on fact of life.

Im sure your perception has changed (or clothes have shrunk lol)...and you havent gained a lot of hip size.

if you don't have a measurement tape then use a pencil and the wall to mark the diference, you may be affecte for puberty... or you are getting fat (yes they are fat teens too)

it doenst look fat ... we're not suggesting that you've had one to many big macs.

firstly have you thought:
are you near your period? - if so there is such a thing as water retention ~ leading to the obvious your lower abdoman gains in size....
are you in general just bloated?

secondly, if you do firmly belive that only your hips have increased in size and this isnt down you just perceving it (ie you have proof other than trousers/skirts not fitting)

then welcome to puberty young lady! were all meant to be curvy in womenhood, and it is down to fat mainly...not fat as it leaidng to orange peel skin, just fat as in good fat....insulating, curve making, meant to be there fat.

Well, i don't have proof, but i can see it. I think i know when my own hips have got bigger. I knew my hips would get bigger but over night?! I was just a bit shocked thats all. :redface:
