bloat vs. baby bump

SarahD30 · July 2010

When does the bloat start to go away and become more of a bump? In the past week or so I feel smaller than I was. I have been having a hard time eating and dont think I have gained. Dr. thursday so we will see but ....any way what is your experience? TIA

With my DS I don't think I got an actual bump until about 16 weeks, but I'm only 4'11" and have no waist.

I haven't necessarily been feeling smaller than I was, but I haven't been as hungry the past week as I have been. I think it's just everything settling since we are close to the 2nd tri

Depends on the person's body shape and size. I see you have twins so i would guess you could show sooner.

I am average weight but in the bigger side. I always had big boobs and a belly. I am 11 weeks and I can't button my pants. I haven't gained weight anywhere else but my belly. So I dont know if is a bump or bloat, but my Dr said every woman is different and I can be showing at 11 weeks and is very normal.

Everyone keeps telling me I'm not going to show til I'm 7 months, I'm kinda hoping they're wrong. But I'm definitely bloated. I can't zip my work pants up all the way (I wear a uniform) and I have to use a rubber band!! I'm only 10 weeks.

I have a lot of bloat at 4 weeks but can still hide it under a t-shirt. (DH noticed it A.S.A.P. but then again he should lol) But not for much longer! I'm 5'3 and was about 140 pounds when I got PG. So I had a little pudge to begin with.

I have had a sizable bump since about week 10 (sticks out about as far as my H-sized breasts), with bloating starting pretty much from BFP. I attribute my sizable early bump to bloat/shifting and being short with long legs and thus a short torso. Weeks 11 or 12, my belly stopped getting bigger. I think I maxed out on bloating and shifting for now. The baby is still really low, inches below my belly button, so I I am thinking I will now stay the same size until the bump becomes actual baby. Only time with tell...

With my frist I didn't noticably show until I was abt 18-20 weeks or so in. With #2 at 10 weeks I'm a little bloated but no problem with my jeans yet. I put a bathing suit on today and I just feel like I look chubby lol. I expected to show a little earlier with #2 but so far nada. I've lost about 7 pounds since BFP at 5 weeks with terrible morning sickness. So no weight gain yet a just a lil bloat for me so far.

Your uterus is still hidden down behind your pubic bone until at least 12 weeks, so you're not really "showing" until sometime after that.

My bloat went down big time around 11 weeks but now, at 16 (based on new due date) I'm still not quite sporting a bump. Now I'm squishy with a slight lower belly curve. I think it's coming, though.
