i could have said i got my bump earlier than 12 weeks, but since it was just bloat i didnt think that counted! i thought the uterus doesnt even rise out of the pelvis until after 12 weeks?
I will be 17 weeks this week- and no bump yet. Clothes are a little tighter- but still wearing pre- pregnancy clothes.
My doctor told me that by my next appt (Aug 24th) things will probably be much different. Baby should double in weight and size- so probably a bump will show soon!
My bloat morphed into belly about 13 weeks and a few days. I woke up one morning with a bump it was really weird. DH noticed that night he said my belly came out of nowhere.
DH and I could tell at about 16 weeks but people at work couldn't tell till about 22 weeks when my scrubs starting getting tight around the tummy. Scrubs really hid it for a long time! Now there is no denying that I am pregnant.
I said 16/17 weeks - but this is when I gradually had to start phasing out pants because they no longer fit - not necessarily when I stated to really show. In fact, I wouldn't say I'm "showing" yet @ 19 weeks. I still just look like I ate too much. When I get my first stranger comment is when I will declare I'm really "showing".
I thought mine was starting to pop last week, but it turned out that I just wasn't getting enough fluids and was retaining water. If I have too much salt or not enough water, I surely look pregnant.
Right now it's more of a pooch than a bump. I would say that it's not noticable and doesn't look at all like a baby bump.
