What does it mean to "pop"?

LB1988 · March 2010

This is my first pregnancy and I have no idea what people mean when they say that.

Is there a difference between showing and popping?

After weeks of just looking bloated, suddenly, everyone (even strangers) will know you're pregnant. I myself even had a few moments where I felt like I suddenly got bigger overnight. Congrats on your pregnancy!

Not any real experience here, but to "pop" in my opinion is when you really start showing. Total baby bump...not just looking fat

I know for some friends this seemed to occur over night, and the next day everyone commented how they totally "popped".

Its the day that everyone can finally tell your pg. For me it was like over night with DS. One day it felt like just me and dh noticed my little belly then the next day I had 3 people ask me and tell me my belly was definitely showing.

I can tell you after this past weekend! Before, I could tell I was starting to show, but I'm sure to everyone else it just looked like I was putting a little weight on. Then, this weekend I "popped" and I can't believe what a difference there was. My belly is sticking out and looking like I'm pregnant... I must have had 10 people at work yesterday come up and ask me about it!!! Not sure if it always changes that quickly, though.

I think the term "popped" is used because it is a sudden change. People go from one day looking normal to the next day obviously being pregnant. It's like your abs finally give up or something.

this. Your tummy starts to get more firm and less jiggly too.

So for alot of people it seems to just happen over night. I think right now its just constipation for me (TMI) thanks to zofran. At least I'm not nauseated and hate the world! Is 14 weeks early or is that about right?

I thought it was just an expression, but I just read that the uterus literally pops out from behind your pelvic bone. I'm looking forward to it because it also releases the bladder!

I want to pop. I'm sick of just looking fat.
