How much did your bump expand between 15-18 weeks?

BeachM · May 2010

I know this will differ for each person, but in general did you pop by 18 weeks? Or at least definitely look pregnant?

Just curious because DH and I are going to Hawaii to visit my sister and BIL at the end of May (I'll be 18 weeks then) and I'm wondering how pregnant I'll look. I haven't seen my sister since mid-March.

At 18 weeks no one could really tell I was pregnant. I didnt pop really until the last couple of days.

Well I will be 17 weeks tomorrow and I definitely look pregnant in almost anything I wear. I mean my bump isn't huge, but it is definitely sticking out there. My pre-pregnancy weight was 130 and I have only gained 5 lbs so far. It definitely differs person to person, but I started looking pregnant late in my 15th week.

I don't look pregnant yet either.

Between 15 and 18 weeks I noticed a small pop but nothing others could really tell. I didn't start looking really pregnant until closer to 20 weeks.

i've already received stranger comments and i am just now 16 weeks but i'm only 5'3" and the only place baby had to go was out. i don't believe i am the majority though.

I'm only 5'0", but at this point my "bump" is more fat than baby. I'll just have to wait and see!

It seems like the majority of people pop around 20 weeks, and I'll be 18 weeks when we leave for Hawaii and 20 weeks when we come back. Should be interesting!

I popped a little around 16/17 weeks but it was only noticeable to people who knew I was pregnant. To everyone else, I think it looked like a beer gut! Just today I woke up and said "whoah" I think I popped some more last night! I have had two people ask today when I would find out the sex, so I think I look more pregnant today than even a few days ago!

I guess it depends on how pregnant you look right now. This is my second child and people are still in shock when I tell them I am pregnant. I am still not showing yet and with DS I started showing around my 6 month. Even though I was skinny to begin with and I have not gained that much weight, 6 pounds so far, I do not show at all.

I didn't pop until 20ish weeks - all of my weekly pics are in my blog if you are curious!

Have fun in Hawaii!

I am 5'3" also and def popped out at 16 1/2 weeks. I had a little something before, but I woke up one day and had a big bump. Same thing, just went out! My torso is short so only it can go!

Mine popped around 19/20 weeks!!

BeachM · May 2010

Thanks ladies!

Arielle27 · May 2010

I definitely show already - at 14 weeks. I can't fit into most of my clothes already!

Some people say it is because I am overall pretty small, but it is still surprising how much I show! I've only gained 2 pounds.

I popped A TON between 16-18 weeks. Like, double the bump size.

jastl32 · May 2010

I didn't grow that much between that time. I grew A LOT between 18-20 weeks.

Some days I look more pregnant than others, I think.
I have a small bump, to me it looks like a chubby tummy, but I don't know haha this is my first.

My DH says some days I look bigger, this morning he said I look smaller, he asked if my tummy was shrinking.

I don't know though, I have a tiny/skinny figure.
I started to really see a baby bump at 14w, but I notice some people stare, and they probably think I am just fat.

I think I looked pregnant at 18 weeks. Pictures in my blog.

hopingwaiting · May 2010

I can either look pregnant or not depending on the shirt. I guess if you didn't know me at all you might think I carry my weight funny. But if you know me there was a big difference between 15 and 18 weeks. See weekly pics in bio.
