Some days showing, some days not?

Laura23FP

Good afternoon everyone!

I know I really shouldn't show yet- but some days I feel like I am, then some days I feel like I don't!  The past few days I was hiding my tummy and then I woke up this morning looking my normal size.  

I'm not necessarily worried about it, but of course looking pregnant made me feel better.   I'm guessing it's just bloat.

So the question is- when did you really start to show?  I read that I should be able to start to feel hardness about my pubic bone but it just doesn't seem that way yet...

I was really bloated until about 14 weeks. It would come and go. Some days I could even get into my regular pants just fine, and other days I needed the Beband. Then, sometime around 14 weeks the bloat went completely away...and I started to notice a tiny little bump that I couldn't suck in. By about 17 weeks it was pretty obvious I was pregnant, but even then I would still have days where it would look smaller and days it would look bigger depending on how much I had eaten. It wasn't until around 25+ weeks that I had a substantial bump that never got smaller...

This sounds like a stupid question, but where did you notice your bump around that 14 weeks?  right below belly button, right above pubic bone, etc.?

For me it was in the 15th week.  It was especially evident in the evenings then.  By week 16 there was no "evenings only" about the showing.

I do notice that I look bigger as the day goes on! I figure it's the slow digestion!

For me I think it was the tummy muscles getting tired as the day went on.

I noticed my bump really low, like above the pubic bone. It doesn't move up to the belly button until later.

I always seem to show more after I eat? I wonder why?

Haha really though, I was in pg pants around 9 weeks this time around. But with each I would say that I started to show something besides bloat around 14-15 weeks maybe? Quite honestly though I think it honestly depends on what your pre pg stomach looked like as to whether people can tell or not you know?

My bump is smaller and pointier in the morning. As the day goes on, it gets bigger and rounder.

I'm just now noticing a true bump that doesnt go away overnight. My belly gets hard about half way or a touch more between my belly button and my pubic bone. My MW confirmed that is where my uterus is. You're getting close but there's likely still a big bloat component right now.

I really didn't have a obvious bump until 19wks.  Before that my bump size kept changing and I wonder the thing as you.
