showing?

gmj0101

I'm 12 weeks today and think my belly just popped! Wondering when other people started showing, or if they even have yet!

nopegoat

I am 11wks with my third and for the past week my "bloat" isn't gone when I wake up so I would definitely say I am starting to show.

NELSMD

I hope Im starting to now...but I suspect it's still blump.

GradSchoolPrincess

12w here, nothing but blump. I'm hoping this week...

I am 13w with my second. I'm def showing. People at work outside of my group are either asking or talking. My bloat used to disappear at nights and early mornings, the bump hasn't. Plus no one has ever noticed my bloat!! I didn't expect so early but everyone that needs to know has been notified....so not a big deal to me. With my first, I didn't have a bump until 26w. At my a/s the tech asked me if I was the patient even though it was only DH and I.

I'm 12 weeks, 6 days with my second and I'm definitely showing. Agree with PP that when it was bloat it would disappear in the mornings. With my first I didn't show until around 18/20 weeks.

Ok,i thought I was going crazy... I feel like I'm showing just a tad and I'm annoyed about it, I'm trying to hide this till the end of the school year. I'm a teacher. One of my HS students asked me the other day if I'm thinking about having more kids. we will see!

LaxMOM44

Not entirely sure. I think I may be showing a little with a heavy bloat on top. But this is my second.

With my first I wasn't really showing until 15 weeks.

@RN536‌ I just saw this on Pinterest and thought it fit with your comment!

I'm 11w5d with my 3rd and I don't have a bump yet. I can't wear my normal pants, but you can't tell I'm pregnant either.

13w0d, FTM, definitely not showing! Have some extra pudge and bloat but it is not baby. I'm very tall and athletic and my doctor thinks it will be a number of weeks before I pop.

Me too! I'm tall, kind of athletic and very hourglass figure. I have a little tummy, but I think it's just my organs being pushed up. I want my bump! BTW I'm 13 weeks today.

LinziLoo09

Nothing yet...I have a little blump at night but it still disappears in the morning. I think the baby is just snuggling into my other organs....

I can't decide if it's a mini bump or the new mini gut I've developed from all the food I've been eating lol (12 weeks)

I am 13 1/2 weeks with my 3rd. I am showing a little although my normal belly fat is not helping. But I can't suck this gut in now! I feel like I am in that awkward stage where people who don't know will look at me and wonder "is she pregnant or did she just put on a lot of weight". I almost want to wear a sign saying "yup pregnant".

I am right there with ya! I feel like I just look chubs, and people think I've let myself go.

I'm 13 weeks today and my bump appeared in the last couple of days. This is my second pregnancy.

kayak11

I was 13 weeks yesterday and I'm starting to get a little bump. With my first pregnancy, I didn't really show until around 18 weeks.

mothstothemoon

Second pregnancy here and my ob told me at my first appt last week, when I was at 10wks, that my uterus is popping out like it would at 14 weeks if it was a first pregnancy... And it looks about 4 weeks ahead of last time.
I've only been wearing cotton fold over waist mini skirts and stretchy form fitting tanks so everyone notices my belly as pregnant instead of fat for the last week or so .

If you look at the massive amount of growing baby does between 11 and 14 weeks it makes sense

Belle3184

13 weeks here and yes, I'm showing. It's a small bump, but it never goes away.

This. I have what looks like a gut, low down and rounded, but I have no idea if it counts as showing or if I'm just a tankass. No pants button, even in the morning, but I'm only up about 2 pounds. I also worry if it's from exercising less?

Oh, and I'm a FTM at 12 weeks 2 days.

brookey79

This is my first and I'm 12 1/2 weeks.  I definitely have a belly, but not sure if it is a bump or just bloating. In that last week, it's stopped disappearing in the morning though. I'm quite short and was quite slim, so it seems to be obvious earlier than some of my friends who are taller.  One person at work asked me if I was pregnant last week, but I'm hoping that's just because I was wearing more flowy tops.  I'm also a teacher and trying to keep it from the kids until summer break.  We'll see!

Same. I'm 13 weeks and some number of days (check the ticker because I can't keep track that well haha) and I definitely have an itsy bitsy bump. People who see me everyday can tell but I don't think strangers or people I hardly see can tell at all. I'm so excited for my belly to continue to grow.

ColeyCannoli

I'm jealous :P I want to show! I'm excited about getting a baby belly. But at 13.5 weeks it's still just my regular jiggly belly.

aggiejenn37

14 weeks today and I think mine is still just bloat- but the tummy definitely sticks out a bit!

chanandbrian04

I swear I started showing at 11 weeks. I took not being able to suck in anymore as a sign that I was pass the "just bloat" phase. I'm 14 weeks tomorrow, and I feel huge! Everyone's different! If you wanna call it a bump - call it a bump!

BrideLinds

I'll be 14 weeks tomorrow and definitely have a bump. People have flat out asked me that didn't already know.

RosieB0514

I am in the in between phase, with the belly fluff I have and the baby...it's just there. I'm just going with it! I just wear whatever is most comfortable.

jlamb1206

ugh at 12 weeks I'm definitely bigger in a way I can't "suck in" but not identifiably preg - just looking chunky.

starfruit14

I'm 10 wk 5 days and have a major bloat. My clothes are getting uncomfortable and I look like I ate a box of doughnuts and drank a case of beer

cstreaker

I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow and I feel so huge....i think its still bloat because its not hard, but its perfectly rounded. I look pregnant, even if it is just bloat. I havent gained anything but none of my regular pants fit and I've moved on to maternity pants. They are so comfortable!

BabyRN2009

Yep. 12 weeks with #3 and I've definitely had a bump for a couple weeks now. Good thing I wear scrubs to work so no one can tell yet!

beckykristula

9.5 weeks with twins and hubby and I can already see a difference! It's not noticible through clothes yet, but it also definitely looks different than the bloat I had for the last few weeks - my pelvis especially! Its very strange! The bloat was sort of squishy and distended-looking whereas now my pelvic area is bigger and more firm. Too weird! And my underwear elastic is definitely leaving an indent where it didn't use to! :-)

CandEChicago

Yep. Apparently I am starting to show at 11 weeks. Thought it would be a little longer but while on my way to the park I ran into a neighbor. He said hello and then looked at my stomach and then gave me that questioning hopeful look. Boy would he have felt awful if I told him I just put on weight.

Karissa764

Ill be 14w tomorrow with twins and I just look like I really like donuts. Instill haven't gained any weight but my pants don't fit either lol I'm 5'10" and in fairly decent shape so I'm hoping to get a bump soon! This is my first pregnancy

ninee88

I notice a change that is definitely bump, but because I already had a bit of a tummy to start with, it looks more blump. I'm owning it though.

AnnetteFergs

I am 12 weeks tomorrow and it looks like I have a bump that has appeared overnight!
A couple of days ago I was trying to work out if there was anything there...today there is! (And I'm 100% sure it's not bloat!) :-)

Daneicy80

I'm 12w1d with my third and still not really showing.  By the end of the day I have a noticeable bump but I start the day pretty flat.  I showed my mom my bare stomach on Saturday and she said I didn't look pregnant yet.

To others I don't think I really started showing/looked pregnant until 23 weeks or more.

xc1148

My bloat has definitely moved up to right under my belly button. If i showed it to a mom/pregnant lady, they would know, but at work a loose top conceals it fine. It is starting to get more pointy so that's exciting!

I'm honestly not sure what the heck is going on.  Do I look pregnant? YES!  Do I have a bump?  YES!  Is it bloat or baby?  I have no idea!  Baby is the size of a prune, so its most definitely gotta just be bloat, but whatever it is, I LOOK PREGNANT.

I gained 8 pounds rapidly at the beginning of my pregnancy and then for the past six weeks have not gained any more weight, but my midsection just keeps getting bigger despite not having gained any more weight.   This morning I was shocked to discover that I had not gained any more weight, I thought for sure the scale would say otherwise given how huge I am looking.  But sure enough, I am still maintaining weight despite getting bigger. 

It is definitely worse at night than in the morning, so there is certainly a lot of bloat at play here.  But, I am also noticing that on the "good" days when I am not bloated, there is still a bit of a bump there that will not go away.  I also noticed last night when I put on an outfit I hadn't work for three weeks that it looked uncomfortable too small for me and my boyfriend said I should probably think about getting some maternity clothes soon.

Question:  For those who have "popped", what does this mean?  Do you wake up one day and a certain part of your belly is more pronounced? Or is it like you woke up and the entire belly was as bloated as when you went to bed?  Trying to understand what occurs when you know you have "popped".

Thanks!

I still have mostly bloat, which is kind of what I expect at this stage, BUT, in the morning when I get up there is a very slight bump that doesn't go away and that I can feel. Strange thing is, it's only on my left side, which is what makes it more noticeable. It was never there before. 

kelnyc

Also my second, and also definitely showing. I gave up on hiding it at work about 3 weeks ago.

It may not actually be "baby", but your organs are shifting to make room for your rapidly growing uterus. Bumps don't become mostly baby until much later, but they still count!
