FTM bumps (all welcome!)

melewen

hi! If you're a FTM, great! Share your bump. We are all going through a huge, new-to-us change in our bodies and it's fun to share that together. If you're not a FTM, that's great too! You can share yours too if you want. We aren't excluding anyone but we would appreciate if ALL posters stuck to the issue at hand--freaking baby bumps--and stayed positive. We are growing life, after all, so why fuel that body up with stress and negativity?! Anyway, here's my status at 11 weeks.. Vs 8-9 weeks on the left

I apologize to any moms who posted in the last thread whose bumps got smothered. We would love for you to repost so we can keep up the progress!

melewen

FTM, 12 weeks 3 days now. Will post a new pic at 13 weeks.

Mostly a picture of my messy bathroom counter- but this is me at just over 10 weeks! There is definitely some bloat, but from my belly button down there is definitely some bump there as well (because I can feel it).

@melewen- thanks for giving this post another go. Hopefully we can escape the negativity this time!
=D>

Just shy of 11 weeks

Cute bump @claireymary I don't have anything to show yet at 12w4d, but I can't wait to pop a little! 

melewen

@clairemary I like laughed until a couple little tears squeezed out over your emoji-bump!! Hahaha

@raspbell I'm right there with you. You CAN have a bump AND get bloated, that's totally possible.. lol. At the end of the night I am like knocking things over with my belly; it's raucous. But from the belly button down I have that hard bump too. 

@ijdorweiler can I reiterate how much I love your bump?!

BTW DH and I took reveal photos today and I had to squeeze in another profile. My body was not this um... curvy(?) before last week!

raspell

@melewen- Your little bump is too cute!!!

MrsPyrowiz

I will be 14 weeks tomorrow.  This was yesterday at 13 weeks 5 days.  I'm making my husband wait for date night so I could come on my computer and post again because my phone let me.  Haha. The part that is "actual bump" is pretty low still, but it's deifinitly a change.  I'm really tiny, so baby has been above my pubic bone for a few weeks now, per my midwife, and my uterus seemingly grew overnight between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. 

melewen

@raspell emphasis on little.. hahah

@mrspyrowiz love it! it is is very low - that's what tipped off the cashier we had who was like um... is she pregnant?! To be fair she said it very quietly to DH in case I wasn't! That's so neat your midwife can tell baby's been over your pubic bone!

irenejean

Thanks @melewen! Your bump is so cute, and I really love how you're doing your bump pics! I love seeing all the bumps ladies!

MrsPyrowiz

@melewen it was so cool.  I am very happy with the midwives we chose.  And your bump is adorable!  We're taking our reveal photo this weekend hopefully because my friend/photographer is coming over.  Lol

melewen

Exciting @mrspyrowiz ! Can't wait to see what you come up with. We officially announced a few moments ago and used this - I know it's not a bump picture so forgive me

12 week Bump in a dress and bump in the gym!

melewen

I need to edit the original post to say no gym bumps... Those make me feel like a lazy fat butt! Hahaha kidding. You look crazy adorable!! Love the tattoo too. When do you feel like you started showing @sterjacks21 ?

sterjacks21

lol oh don't feel bad! I feel so lazy and fat. I only go to the gym because I feel like I'm eating uncontrollably! I think I started showing around ten weeks! People at my work are kind of rude to me and tell me I look big for how far along I am! One lady is insisting I have twins! But idc I know there's only one in there and besides my bump gets smaller when I go to the bathroom and such lol! @melewen your bump is adorable btw!

melewen

Thanks I hope that when it gets a bit warmer out I'll stop being such a sloth!! Fingers crossed.. Haha

twinamato

Time hop frequently makes for some depressing mornings missing the dog my ex boyfriend took with him a few years ago... missing old friends.... but I STILL LOOK!!!!!!

@mrscaterosales why thank you!!  Djay was so excited to take the pic lol

I am a second time mommy, I love the concept of this forum. BUMPIES they are fun to see at any stage. I am 13 weeks 4 days taken today!

melewen

Hell yeah, bumpies are always fun! Better than always having to talk about constipation.. hahaha. Look how tiny you are, how can you call yourself a cupcake queen @cupcakequeen1000 ?!

Ftm at 14 weeks

mschris00

FTM at 14 weeks. It definitely seems to fluctuate throughout the day and some days it seems more prominent than others. Probably mostly bloat but this was taken in the morning though.

jenelisa85

FTM here! This is a picture of me last week, I am now 13 weeks. Anyone else feel uncomfortable with wearing tight clothes that show yet? I find myself wearing loose shirts and baggy sweaters to hide my belly still, even though everyone already knows! I feel self conscious to be so big at 3 months already!

bonniecouture

FTM here too 12 weeks today! Please don't judge me by the number of drinks everywhere lol

mybabynumber2

@bonniecouture that's a cute lil bump you got goin their lady :-)

There ALL cute !!

LifeofLauren2

I love all the bumps ladies! I can't wait until I can see a real bump instead of the extra bloat I have going on right now! I'm 11 weeks and super impatient! lol! 

mybabynumber2

@LifeofLauren2 oh your bump will come Hun! Make the most of it while you can lol :-) x

LoveLee85

Question: Are you ladies doing the thing where you wear the same dress or shirt the whole 9 months to see the changes? I think I'm going to start at 14 weeks! Only because I'm mid-13 weeks and you still can't tell. I'm having a hard time commiting to an outfit! HAHA

LifeofLauren2

@lovelee85 I think I'm going to! Just go with something simple. A solid color shirt and black yoga pants! Simple and you can easily find a bigger size as your bump grows!

melewen

Ahh look at all those gorgeous little bumps!!


@LoveLee85 im wearing black leggings and a black tank each week, something simple I can concert to maternity when I need to--right now my maternity version is too baggy! But I'm doing mine standing in front of a bright window so I wanted a lot of contrast. It just depends where you want to take the photos
