15 or 16 weekers....

Does anyone else feel as though your belly popped sometime between 15 and 16 weeks?  I am now 16 weeks, 1 day...and Goodness.  Hello Baby Bump!

Re: 15 or 16 weekers....

  • With my first, yes, it was totally 16 weeks. This is my second and I would say things are happening 2 - 3 weeks sooner! Including feeling movement! I know it is crazy but I am pretty sure though faint, I am starting to feel some movement - which is super exciting!!

  • I feel like mine is on the verge of doing so. It's starting to stick out more but not an official bump -- but when I "point out" the bump to others everyone is like "oh yea - now I see it!" Where as before they still didn't see anything. Getting close
  • Oh yeah, I went out to dinner with DH last night and every time I walked past a window I was like "Whoa, where did that come from!?"  And I actually see the bump when I'm lying down now.  I seriously just popped out from no where.

  • Yes- I'm pretty convinced that "popped". This is my second, and it's definitely a little sooner than last time. I'd say that now, at 16 weeks, I look like I did around 20 with dd!
  • I'm still just looking chubby. There isn't a bump, just a lot of extra padding in my belly area.
  • I'm ginormous but this is also my fifth pregnancy.

    Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

  • With my first it was 16-17 weeks as well.

    This is my third and I popped around 12 weeks. I got my first random "when are you due" this week which wasn't surprising seeing as I am all belly.

  • With my first I was a good 5-6 months before I popped. I recently walked into work and my supervisor said "Wow you look pregnant!" I think I just look like I have some extra padding around my belly.

  • Yep, definitely. I went to a convention this weekend and a few strangers mentioned something about being pregnant. Obviously I've popped. This is my second though.

  • I definitely feel like I have "popped" over the last couple days. Though I still doubt random strangers see it as much more than some extra padding in the middle. Haven't yet had anyone ask me when I'm due.

  • No :-(  my belly feels firmer but that is really it.  I already had a bit of a belly though and with all the weight I have lost so far that might be why.

  • Oh, yeah. I've popped. I'm also only 5'2 and carrying twins...sooooo... :) I love how strangers can actually SEE that I'm pregnant rather than "Is she getting  fat?" lol
  • I'm on the same page!  I looked down last Thursday after work, and BAM!  There it was!!  I was 15w1d with twins...  

    Enjoy!!

  • Nope.  Not at all.  I'm wearing my pre-pregnancy jeans at the moment and they've been buttoned all day.  Granted, I'm very tall and I lost 20 pounds in the first tri, so there's extra space in there now.  My ute is getting closer to my belly button, but it still has several inches to go before it gets there as it's only about 4-5 inches above my pubic bone right now.  My baby is also measuring a week ahead, so while I'll be 16 weeks on Thursday, the baby is measuring at least 17 weeks.  I probably won't "pop" until 24-30 weeks.  I have, however, been feeling what I think are flutters.

  • I do! I kind of thought I just ate too much and that it would go down but it seems like its staying.

  • I have definitely started to notice some big changes in the last couple of days. About an inch or two below my belly button the whole area feels hard and I really can't suck in any more. On Sunday I wore a low rise pair of jeans with a fitted top and I felt like I popped. I don't think I am at a point where strangers could tell, I think I have a few more weeks before that will happen. But I am noticing the changes and loving it :)

  • I've definitely "popped".  I'm showing a few weeks earlier than I did with DS.  I love this stage, when people are starting to notice and comment on the bump.  Can't believe how fast this pregnancy seems to be flying by!

    This exactly. I feel everyday for the position of my uterus....I can actually see 2 bumps now - my recent fat bump and below it a small firm baby bump!! Waiting for it to take over the fat bump and makes its real appearance.

  • Yes! Pretty much at 16 weeks on the dot I popped. Crazy!

  • Oh I hope I will pop in a week.  I gained a ton with DS so I was showing by this point.  In first tri I went down 15 lbs so I think that has something to do with it.  Hopefully soon!

  • It happened a couple weeks ago for me.  I had been thinking I was hiding it ok until I saw a picture of myself.  Umm, no.
  • mine popped at around 10 weeks.
