Let’s see those bumps! 

dimeadozen

17 weeks today 🤰🏼

I’m waiting to feel allowed to look pregnant. I know some is last baby and a short torso, so I’m ready for be like 6 months when it’s “normal” to show. 

leahrnmom

@dimeadozen I think we look about the same and I'm 17 weeks today. I always show so early and I have that I care what people think. 💛

17 weeks today with babe no. 3

dimeadozen

@leahrnmom thank you for the reassurance! It does make me feel better when I see other moms showing the same

This maternity tankini that I got for $6 from Gap fits perfectly, I was amazed. 15+2 and also in that awkward in between phase. My bump doesn’t usually get round until 20+ weeks.

@coco2787 what a score on that tankini!

Sunny and 75 outside today ☀️ Had to bust out a maternity shirt. 16w4d

@coco2787 that is super duper cute! Is it new from Gap or like a Poshmark score??

@twizzleraddict1 when are you gracing us with your HDBD pic?

16 weeks tomorrow with baby #2! 

coco2787

@mdfarmchick new from Gap! They were having a crazy sale a few weeks back. I got eight maternity items for $42 

starkette

17w3d with baby #3. I understand @dimeadozen about the awkward middle phase. I have a short torso too and feel like I'm just buldgy.

mdfarmchick

@coco2787 maybe they still have it. That is really cute. 

dimeadozen

@tmartin014 stripes are my favorite, similar shirts today! 

@starkette thank you for the reassurance and I love your sweater!! 

@coco2787 I love a good sale. 

Looking great ladies!

16 weeks 1 day still hard to tell but it seems crazy how fast it grows!

18 weeks and also rocking stripes!
Ready for winter to be over so I can ditch the baggy sweaters and actually embrace the bump.

@wigglyicecream 😆 like many others have mentioned I am in that awkward phase where I look like I ate too many donuts, moreso than pregnant but I will take one later today. Also my MIL called me yesterday and requested I send her a bump pic (super awkward because we are not close AT ALL), so I guess I must take one 🙄

starkette

@twizzleraddict1 ugh my MIL always comments on my bump picks (she wants them regularly, too, but we are close so it's not too weird). I hate when she says "Wow, you're huge!" Like no...I'm not. *grumble grumble* I don't care if you're 8 months along, you never say "wow you're huge" to a pregnant woman.

dimeadozen

@starkette I had to gently remind my MIL of that the other day. My cousin was pregnant and MIL made the comment, “wow she’s big for having a month left.” 

I let it pass but brought it up a day later and mentioned that I have a short torso so I’ll probably look like that at 6 months pregnant. 

She was kind about it. 

I don’t know why it’s so hard NOT to comment on someone’s appearance 🙄 but people say stuff without thinking past their noses. 

chickaboom3

Ugh @starkette and @dimeadozen agreed! It is never okay to comment on a pregnant woman’s body! 

I truly hate this part of pregnancy. I actually really love when I have a big giant bump and I feel like it’s the one time I can actually wear tight fitting clothing without being self conscious. But this part of pregnancy is just awkward and uncomfortable for me - when regular clothes are tight and unflattering but maternity clothes are still a little too big and awkward and basically I just look fat instead of pregnant 😭 But here’s my bump, nevertheless!

wigglyicecream

@twizzleraddict1 I think it’s a great bump! All
of us should be so proud of what are bodies are doing to accommodate our babies. I’ll have to find the post I saw but a mom in July or June put it beautifully 

and_peggy

Late bump because it was surgery day for my son yesterday. Also commiserating about not loving this stage of bump yet. I mostly wear T-shirt’s and can hide the bump but when I have to wear mat shirts, I look giant. 17 something.

coco2787

Apparently my bump isn’t as subtle as I thought because my 8 year old said to me, “I can definitely see the baby mom, you’re usually never this fat!” 

Thanks for keeping it real, kid. 

mdfarmchick

@coco2787 kids… 😒🙄🙄

kbtt2022

@coco2787 🤣

wigglyicecream

@coco2787 you might have to throw the whole kid out 

wigglyicecream

A day late but I couldn’t request other bump pics and not add one myself. 17+1 STM

dimeadozen

I’m loving these bumps, ladies! We’re all looking fantastic!!

@coco2787 ughhhh. The honesty and lack of shame!
@wigglyicecream thanks for joining the party!

regalmommy1

@twizzleraddict1   Saaaame. I had a good sized pooch before getting pregnant and I've only just started rounding out the last couple of weeks where it's a little more obvious that I'm pregnant and not just that I really like my donuts. Another week or two and there'll be no doubt about it lol.

Finally had to break down and get some maternity tops and it's really helped smooth out my torso and not look so awkwardly dressed.

chickaboom3

@regalmommy1 well I’m glad I’m not alone at least! 💕

mdfarmchick

Still feel like I just look like I ate too much lunch so I prefer bump pictures from above 🤣
