what does popped belly look like??

What does it mean when people say their bellies popped? Curious because I'm naturally apple-shaped and pregnancy has just made my belly just so much more bloated and pregnant-looking. Just wondering if my belly's popped, or if it's still just bloat!

I think people are talking about it having a distinct roundness all its own, instead of just mushy extra padding (which is completely what I have, still).

I think this is one of those things where when it happens, you will know.

For me I just went from "do I have a bump? do I have a bump???" to looking one day and thinking "Oh! I DEFINITELY have one - I guess now I know what people mean when they say 'Oh I popped'"!

I agree with the above, and would also add that the bump feels hard once it truly pops.

You'll know when it happens. For me it was going from "Honey, do I look pregnant or just fat?" to DH saying "WOW your belly is getting big!"
