When will it be a "show off" bump?

MWmom2BB1

Instead of a "hide" bump?  How long were you attempting to hide your bump before you couldn't hide it anymore?  Mine is there, well its guts and bloating, not baby at this point, but I just look like I ate WAY too much.  I'm eager for that show off my bump with pride day!

Already rocking mine - I know it's mostly bloat, but I don't care.  Blaming it on the baby!

Between 20-24 weeks for me with both of my previous pregnancies.

I've got nothing to show so far, except for these huge boobs.  I'd show them off...but you know, that's sort of frowned upon.  But dangggg I'm proud!  haha

With DD I "popped" at 23 weeks. I'm sure it will be a bit sooner this time around.

Ditto, and most of my Mom friends know that it can't be hidden and we laughed about it.

The obvious bump didn't appear until after 20 weeks for me. But I would say that I gave up trying to suck in and always wearing loose shirts somewhere around 13 weeks. I probably just looked chubby but I didn't care. Plus, people who did know would say, "look at your cute little bump making its way out!" Definitely going to happen even earlier this time around!

I could care less about concealing my ever pudgy belly on most days. However on T/Th I attend classes and I don't plan on anyone at school finding out until It's obvious. If I could conceal it until May 2nd (I graduate on the 1st) I soooo would but unfortunately I'll be 6 months and doubt that I will have a tiny belly at that point lol!

I'm ready for my bump so I can show it off in general, my friend is getting married in April and I'm looking forward to having a cute belly for her wedding(not the big but I'm already developing though). But I feel like I'll be uncomfortable with it around my family... I don't know if that makes sense. I'm the first one in my generation to get KU and my aunt is actually prego right now and due in Feb so I feel a little uncomfortable being prego the same time as her, she waited until she was almost 40 to have her first and this is her second. I guess I'll get more comfortable with it as things progress.

I already show mine off...at work, in front of family, out in public....I don't care, I'm excited for the bump, even if it's just guts and bloat at the moment.

I'm hoping to hide mine at work for another month, but still would be happy to show it off in front of friends soon as we just started telling people the other day. I have no idea how this will work, but I guess it's pretty much up to my belly. I already need a bella band for my usual jeans, but found an old pair this morning that are doing up quite nicely over my bloated tummy!

I distinctly remember going on a cruise when I was 20 weeks pregnant with my son and I still didn't look completely pregnant. I think it was finally obvious to strangers around 24-25 weeks. Before that I just looked thick. I don't know how else to describe it. I'm definitely rockin' the pooch right now, and I think co-workers suspect but aren't asking yet.  I'm waiting until my u/s next week to "come out".

I look obviously pregnant.  Trying to hide it makes me look fat, so I wear clothes that make me look more pregnant.

With DS, I wasn't able to say I really had a bump until maybe 17 weeks, if that. I'm shorter (5'3" and I was 130lbs) and it still took forever. Right now, I'm 10w and a few days and I'm sporting a bloat bump that looks like I did when I was about 13/14 weeks with DS. 

I still hide it because of family, but once I feel I actually have a bump and  we tell family (when we do the a/s) I'll not hide it. I wont flaunt it though either.
