has your belly suddenly grown a lot???

tallica55 · March 2010

Hi Girls,

I'm 19 weeks and I feel like my belly has popped out dramatically in the past 2 weeks. I also feel that at different times of the day it looks a lot bigger than at other times.

Is this happening to anyone else?

Hi Girls,
?I also feel that at different times of the day it looks a lot bigger than at other times.

I'm a month behind you but I especially feel like my belly gets bigger and smaller at different times through out the day. Around 5 pm until after dinner it gets much bigger and harder?

Hasn't happened to me yet! I'm hoping it does soon though

I'm further along than you but yesterday a student told me I looked "like 20" bigger than I had on Friday". What a sweetheart

Nice! I'm a teacher too and every time a certain 1st grader sees me in the halls she says "you're REALLY pregnant." Charming. LOL

I swear I literally popped overnight. At 24w6d I went to bed looking slightly chubby - a stranger never would have asked if I was pregnant. At 25 weeks exactly I woke up HUGE and now I'm starting to get the "Wow, you must be ready to go soon" comments. It was ridiculous.

I wish I could say I'm an elementary teacher. The student who told me that was a junior girl!

At about 21 wks, everyone I know started commenting that I popped. I got my first stranger comments, too.

There are still clothes and days I feel like I just look fat and not pregnant, but they're becoming fewer and further between.

I've recently noticed many coworkers looking at my belly before looking at my face....so I am guessing yes.

negrilbride07 · March 2010

I agree with you on the belly looking bigger at certain times of the day. But you can definitely tell that I am pregnant.

I seemed to grow over night as well. We have a house full of sliding glass doors and I walked past one last night and caught a glimps of myself......not good. I look like a cow.

MrsBraun · March 2010

Yep! But mine didn't happen until 27 weeks - I went from looking like I had a beer belly to looking pg. Now it seems everyday I wake up its growing...kind of scary actually.

This makes me so self-conscious.

Mine definately has. I finally feel like I look kinda preg rather than fat lol. By evening it's definately harder too. But I know its there, cos its always there, its there when I wake up! Lol.

This!

Happened to me around the same time. Someone at work who didn't know I was PG jokingly asked if it happened over night! LOL One day my belly was just "big". And yes, it still changes shape throughout the day.

Bandia12 · March 2010

Yea, when I was around 19 weeks it just like bam.. grew like crazy! Also, in the past 4 days or so my belly has gotten much bigger. It's so neat. My belly button is nearly flat!! (and it was kinda deep to begin with) lol

smbckr2 · March 2010

My belly has gotten a lot bigger in the last week. It's shocking how fast it grows!!

silverflowers · March 2010

At around 22 weeks, I got the most reaction to my belly growth from friends and family. Everyone could "tell" I was pregnant between 15-20 weeks, but it was around 22 weeks I collectively heard reactions like "oh, wow! look at that belly growing!"... even strangers came out with their comments, thankfully no one has been rude.

Kimmy1836 · March 2010

Yes! I went from not really having much of a belly to suddenly having a noticeable bump. I think I am finally out of the "is she fat/is she pregnant" stage. It definitely feels bigger at night too.

VABride2008 · March 2010

There are times of the day that I feel bigger. I think I'm in slight denial that my belly is getting bigger though. I swear the mirrors in my house are deceiving, but from my point of view my belly looks huge. Then I look in the mirror and I'm like, oh that's not that bad...then I ask my husband...hahaha, he's so honest and just gives me this look -----> Indifferent

plainjanie1 · March 2010

My belly definitely increased around 19 weeks, and again around 23 weeks. I think it looks bigger in the evenings and after meals.
