baby bump!

grlnxtdoor01 · March 2010

This is my first baby & I am more than excited!! I was wondering when you usually start showing a baby bump though! I dont have the flattest stomach in the world already, so am I going to start showing earlier?

I don't know from personal experience, but from what I understand you would show a little later if you have a little extra around the waist already. I also read in my book last night that you will lose the bloat and start to develop the actual baby bump around the end of your 1st trimester/beginning of the 2nd. I am sure everyone is different though and it will completely depend on your body.

Last time I had a decent sized bump by 4.5/5 months. I have a lot left over on my stomach from before, so I'm not sure when the "bump" will pop this time.

I think it really varies for everyone. I'm overweight, so I don't know how soon I looked pg and not just overweight to others (with my DD's pg). I started wearing maternity clothes around 3ish months, not b/c I was gaining weight, but b/c my ute was growing and getting harder so my pants were digging into my ute at the belt line. This pg tho I feel like my ute is already much bigger than it was at this point the first time. So none of this really answers your question lol. Sorry! I am also dying of excitement too and it's my 2nd one. It never gets old!!!

Last week it was bloat. This week, I'm pretty sure it is bump. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's probably too early for a bump, but with this being my third, I'm pretty sure it's bump.

Anyhoo, since this is your first, you will probably start showing (bump) later. With my first, I didn't start showing until about 16 weeks.

Hopefully the extra weight goes away then! Its something I cant get rid of. No matter how much I weigh I always have a little pooch! LOL. . . I just want to get past this bloated stage & actually look pregnant not overweight! But I will just wait for it to show then

No rush.

i had some extra weight, and i did not show baby until about 5 months. before that if someone just saw me I looked fat. if they knew I was pg, it kinda looked babish.

i am 20 lbs lighter this time, but still hold all my extra weight around my belly button. so far I am not showing even those this is my 2nd.

Good luck, could take a while!!

As long as people look at me & think I am pregnant I dont mind if I carry all my weight in my belly! if I am pregnant I want to look it. No one likes to look fat.

Did that give you an advantage bc you would be all belly or did you still gain weight in other places?
