When did you know your blump had turned to bump?

Hi ladies!!

I think my blumping may finally be turning to bumping at 14 weeks. How did you ladies know you'd made the switch for anyone who bumped earlier or ladies farther ahead of me?

i was thinking about asking this question as well....i've been wondering about my own blump because it seems bigger this week, and the bottom portion of it seems to feel a bit more firm, if that makes sense?  i'm chubby so there's a layer of fat all over it, but now it seems like you can poke just below my navel and feel something hard-ish under the fat.  i'm hoping this is the beginning of the transition for me!  i'll be 15 weeks on friday.

I had my first moment this morning of wait a second, that might look more pregnant that just fluffy.  I think it might be a combo of the 14 week mark and a couple layers that kind of smooth out the upper pudge, but gotta say I'm happier with this silhouette than I have been in weeks!

When it got firm and was noticeably round.

Last week I participated in HDBD. By participated I mean I shared a cute picture of my dog and my blump. I got my first doppler done last Friday. She found the heart beat about in line with my hips and lower. This morning when I was getting dressed, right in that same vicinity I noticed it looks like I swallowed a giant ostrich egg or something. I would say it's about where my bladder normally is but now it's a uterus instead.

When you can't suck it in anymore. I've had a very cute little blump so far but finally today when I tightened up my muscles the lower half of my tummy no longer sits behind my hip bones. Not to say it's really round yet but the area is rounding out and is hard now

When it's there in the morning and I can't suck it in. Also, when I get a BH I can see the hard ball, which is up past where my fat used to be.

Yay! Sounds like my bump is here. Definitely a harder round bulge thats been rising and when I suck in nothing happens. Haha. Isn't it fun to be getting to these stages?

This.  Sucking in no longer conceals the issue.  Though since uterus is still below the belly button, I suppose it could just look like a big fupa...but I'm going to go with bump  Also, as others have said, it is harder now.

ETA: ugh, why do quote boxes randomly not work...

I swear this just happened to me like last night! Two people even commented today that I suddenly look pregnant. I am already plump to begin with, but now it seems like a more firm bump.

I still have a layer of jiggle but I can feel the hardness underneath. I also had a good long u/s yesterday for our NT scan and had an OB appt today, so I know how high my uterus is already.
