1st Trimester

Baby Bump

I'm 5'4" and typically weigh 135 (that stubborn 10 pounds over my goal!). I am not thin, but I am not overly heavy either. I have that awesome spare tire w/a few small rolls on my midsection. I was wondering if I will get that beautiful big, tight tummy later on in my pregnancy? Right now it just looks like I'm putting on more pounds. I have also gained 3-4 pounds which pisses me off because I have been very care about my eating habits, drinking lots of and nothing but water, and I still run 3 miles three times a week.My pants are at the busting point as well. I can wear them, but they are very tight and uncomfortable because of the bloating. At what week does one get that nice big tight tummy and will I even get one with the fat around my midsection?

Re: Baby Bump

  • Yes, you will. I'm 5'2" and about 115 with all my excess weight around my middle- some lovely love handles and a squishy belly. It takes a little while, but once your belly gets going it gets nice and firm, although bellies are all less firm than I realized since they aren't solid. More like a thick water balloon with a person in it. By 3rd tri, though, my belly was tight as a drum. I didn't really "show" until after 22 weeks or so, though.

  • I am 5'5" and 135 lbs pre-pregnancy. I had a nice, tight bump between 18-20 weeks last time. I lost all of the weight quickly after LO, but my midsection was softer PP. Currently (at almost 13 weeks), I just feel bloated and fat. I am aroud 140lbs right now.
