Pregnant after IF

When did your chub turn into a bump?

I'm relieved and thrilled to be in the 2nd tri, and although I know a bump will come, I'm still just looking like I've had too many doughnuts (in truth it's ice cream) and not looking pregnant. With all I went through to get pg, this is not a huge deal, but I just wondered when you all started to really show. I know it's different for everyone and I'm short so I expected to show sometime around now. Hope you all are well!

    I just had to go through some old pictures to see when it really started changing.  I noticed it earlier on, but it was more noticable to others around week 24.  But I really started to blow up in the past 3 weeks - it came quickly!!

  • For me, I was after 20 weeks when I began to look pregnant. The general person on the street did not notice my "condition" until I was well into 3rd tri.

  • To me, I've looked pg since 22, 23 weeks. However, most people would not know I was pg right now unless they know I'm pg.

  • I had a flat stomach before I got pg; now I look like I've gained some weight (18.5w).  We finally told our friends this past weekend, and they said they really couldn't tell for sure.  So, I guess I'm still waiting for the real bump ...

  • I would say my chub turned to bump around 20 weeks, I was just a little fluffy to begin with. Hope that helps.

    For me 16 wks for a definite bump- but more obvious to strangers by 18 wks I think.  I still haven't gotten a stranger comment- which I'm glad b/c it is daring to assume someone is pregnant.  So I assume the strangers are just polite ;-)
