Hello!
I'm almost 3 1/2 months pregnant and am at the awkward stage where maternity pants are too big and regular pants are too small. I've heard that there is typically a point where you look in the mirror one day go "Wow, there's the bump" and it almost seems to pop out (or pooch) overnight and your clothes definitely don't fit any more. Is this true? Lately I'm feeling more fat than pooch or pop lol. Is it too early?
Re: Is there really a "pop"?
I didn't "pop". It was slow progress, and still is because some days I still look more like I'm fat, not pregnant. Seems like the less bloated I am, the more pronounced the "bump" is rather than my whole stomach.
I don't think I ever really popped. Depending on what I wear I either look pregnant of fat.

for me there have been several pops. ask my mother... she notices every. blasted. one...
I chubbed like crazy til 15 weeks, then went to yoga pants and at 17 ish I had my first pop (all the sudden my chub was round.) and then at 19 I went from even with the boobies to bump central. and now apparently in the past 4 days my stomach has become massive.
We're one and done!
I think the "pop" is when the baby comes out of your pelvic cavity... it all really depends on (IMO) your height, body type pre-pregnancy etc.
I'm 5'10'' and I barely look pregnant at 16w4d... but that's also good. I asked my OB about it and she said she would be concerned if I looked super pregnant right now.
My first pregnancy it was more of a gradual thing. I started wearing maternity shirts before I needed to because they helped me look pregnant rather than just fat!
But this pregnancy, I totally popped. One day I could wear my skirt comfortably, maybe unzipping it at the end of the day; two days later, literally the same skirt, I realized if I was going to wear it I had to have it unzipped!
So it can go either way!
