When did you "pop"?

kerip5

I noticed this morning that my bump looks very different. I've been thinking everything is all bloat, but this morning everything's a lot further down and is shaped completely different. It seems like this is a little early... but I'm pretty short so maybe not? Feel free to tell me I am crazy.

I actually told my friend yesterday that I felt like a shape shifter because one day my bump would be like a nice round belly and the next day it would be a pointy thing down below my belly button. Lol.

The pointy thing below my belly button is exactly what it looks like. So maybe it's not really a "pop" yet but it's just shape shifting bloat. Either way, it's weird!

I didn't start to show until about 20 weeks with DD and I had obviously poped by about 22 weeks. I am 5'3" and was about 105lbs so I'm surprised I didn't show sooner since I'm smaller. Everyone and every pregnancy is different though.

This is me yesterday. I don't think I "popped" but there is definitely more roundness than there was. My stomach is also getting harder. Obviously the roundness isn't from the baby, it's just organs, but still, it's all because I'm pregnant!

With Aidan I didn't pop until around 20w. I mean I could see a baby bump but I didn't pop yet.

I noticed tighter skin and less bloat at 9 weeks. I know this isn't baby as my uterus would still have been too low but I also know it wasn't bloat - I haven't been suffering with the same digestive symptoms as a lot of other ladies (I've been quite regular and was only gassy more in the early weeks). The bloat started to subside around 8 weeks so the 'pop' at 9 weeks was a bit of a surprise. My husband commented on it and i just kept looking in the mirror thinking "No way...not possible!". I'm 12w now and I'm telling you, totally possible. Again, not yet baby but organs and things...they've shifted. My skin is tight, not jiggly. And i"ve never had a paunch like this before - even when I gained a lot of weight. It's new and bizarre and I can't wait to wear all the cute things. Unfortunately in clothes right now I just look fat lol! It's not big enough to be cute yet! haha

I was noticeably pregnant about 15 wks with DD. I think I am starting to be noticeably pregnant now, so about 13 or 14 wks. I didn't pop per se, its more gradual.

With my DS around 20/21 weeks...for this one I feel like it may be sooner but right now it is still bloat. I feel like when you pop your belly is hard and round and stays that way.

With my first I popped around week 15. This time I was showing at 12 weeks

I'm 11w4d and two ppl this weekend have asked if I had news to share. I know it's early, but its def not bloat like it was before. Tight, harder skin. I'm guessing its because of the twins and because I'm fairly thin.

I was about 18 weeks with my DD and then about 16 weeks with my DS.  With this one I still wake up with a flat stomach and go to bed at night looking 6 months pregnant.  I'm only 14 weeks so I guess I haven't started "showing" with this one yet.

I am thin with twins too. I thought everything was bloat, gas, ect, but this weekend I noticed the area below my belly button stays hard. I've had several bowel movements and the area below my belly button stays the same. So, I was curious do women with twin show sooner?

I am hardened from about my belly button down. It doesn't jiggle and really doesn't loose anything when I lie down. Above my belly button changes as I eat during the day...when that part bloats I look very rounded. So honestly, thanks to organs, I would say I'm half bloat and half baby moving (or baby moving organs) up. Hoping the upper part hardens up soon!

1st- 16-18 weeks

2nd- 14ish weeks

3rd- 14ish weeks

4th- (this pregnancy) I am 12 weeks not and popped sometime last week. I am trying to "hide" this pregnancy b/c I am just not ready to share after what we went through when we lost our DD (#3) during the 2nd trimester. I am trying to come to terms with being okay with people knowing.... especially since people are starting to ask since it is becoming obvious

You definitely show sooner the more children you have!

1st - It was quite noticeable to me at 17, but others at 20.

2nd - not yet

I just read in another board that with twins, your uterine size is at least 4wks ahead of a singleton, and the poster said her uterus measured 9wks ahead of what is normal for her babies Gestational age. Guess that explains my pop!

 This is exactly what I look like right now

I never popped with DS...it was just slow growth. This time I think I'm showing even less.

Looking at my pics from last time I had a little bump, but not super noticeable, at 20 weeks, and then in the next pic at 23 weeks there was no denying that there was a very noticeable baby belly.
