When does the bloat belly become a baby bump?

alturner

I feel like my belly is expanding each week...but it still feels like a big, bloated belly. I'm 5'4 and (used to be) 115 lbs. When does the bloat go away and a real baby bump appear??

I think my "real" bump started showing at 20 weeks.

I started to look pregnant about three weeks ago. I'm 18 weeks today.

It became obvious to everyone last week.

Oh man....so you're all saying that I have a while to go until I can stop wearing loose shirts and actually not look "fat!"

i started getting a defined bump around 18/19 weeks, but people thought i was showing around 15/16 weeks.

Looking back at my photos I can see my bump at 12/13 weeks, but it started becoming really obvious to people around 17/18 weeks.  I'm just about 24 now and my belly's out there--people don't even ask before they congratulate me or make comments, it's more like, "oh--you're expecting!"  Your bump will appear before you know it!

my twin bump was real around 12w - but it was also my 2nd pg - things were already stretched out

I think this is what is happening to me! I can't wait until I'm really, really showing-I know it won't be too much longer because I still have a little bump now!

i was really bloated from the fetility meds and some hyper ovarian overstimulation stuff going on. it wasn't until around 18ish weeks that my bloated belly started looking more like a baby bump and less like i ate a pizza.

About 17/18 weeks, my bump became obvious. Now it is definitely a bump.

I think it became more of a "real" bump for me around 17-18 weeks; it definetly is now. 

I know how your feel though - I had the same pre-pregnancy height & weight as you and really just felt boated & fat for awhile!

I got called out as pregnant around 16 weeks, but it's just starting to look like a bump this week.  I still think I look just chubby in the morning and it gets more "bump-like" in the afternoon/evening.
