Has your belly "popped"

I think I started showing at right around 12 weeks with my last baby's however this time I am showing at 10 weeks!  Haha, I suppose it could be the fact that this is baby number four.

I got rid of all my preggo clothes ( scratch that, I have one pair of cream cords ) 

I feel somewhat odd about wearing preggo pants this early in the game.  

Any one else popping? 

Re: Has your belly "popped"

  • No bump but several shirts have gone in the can't wear this anymore pile.

  • Mine has definitely popped.  I'm in maternity pants full time, and am clinging to a few flowy shirts that still fit ok, but am mostly in maternity shirts too b/c I think they are cuter- I look pregnant in those, not just fat.  My abs gave up the fight early!

  • Mine has gotten rounder and more all out front instead of just muffin-toppy looking.  I definitely look pregnant (and have people commenting already), but I think that a month from now I'm going to see a picture of me now and laugh that I thought this was looking pregnant. I can also already feel my uterus out of my pelvis really easily (multiple pregnancies + twins will do that apparently) so I know it's not just bloat anymore.

  • Yup. I still get bloated and the bloat/bump is bigger by the end of the day but even when I wake up there is a definite bump. I can still suck in some of it but I have not been buttoning my pants and have been wearing belly bands for weeks.

    Mine's still bloat... blah.

     

    Me too, and let me tell ya there's a ton of bloat going on here.

  • This is my second time around and I don't know if I'd say I've 'popped', but my belly is definitely hanging out!  I finally made the switch over to maternity pants  last week (I can breath!) I would have tried to wear regular pants longer but I can't find my belly band (I think my friend lost it when she borrowed all my clothes).  I feel like I'm growing bigger much faster this time around so I don't want to even bother buying another one. 

     

    I have not switched over to maternity shirts yet because they make it very obvious and I haven't announced yet.  So I'm trying to wear the flowy stuff just a little longer.  DH doesn't want to announce until Thanksgiving. By that time I'll be 15 weeks and I don't think I can really hide it that much longer...at least not to people I see every day at work!

  • First thing in the morning, I can see a little bump. Later in the day, I look much more pregnant, but I know that's food and bloat. I'm wearing maternity too.

  • I don't know if its bloat or being so petite my insides have no where else to go but up and out

    Either way a male co worker kept eyeing my stomach and now I feel self conscience (sp?) no one at work knows yet blah!

  • YUP! Feels like it happened while I was sleeping last night. I haven't told anyone at work except one person and today she whispered to me that my baby was showing. Guess I won't be able to hold out much longer!

     

     

  • unfortunately, right there with you, this past friday actually i had to buy a whole bunch of clothes for work because none of my stuff looks right. also had to invest in belly band(s) to get the most out of my pants!

    I switched to Maternity pants a few days ago because my pants were getting uncomfortable but they did still fit. People who know I'm pregnant say I have a little bump, but strangers definitely don't know.nbsp;


    This for me exactly.

  • I'm overweight so it's a little harder to tell on me, but I've noticed that I have gotten rounder and my stomach is getting alot harder, even my SO when he puts his hand on my belly he tells me its getting much harder.  I have started to take pictures just for my own benefit so I can see the difference in myself.  I have been wearing maternity pants now for about 3 weeks and I pretty much wear nothing but maternity shirts, nothing else is fitting right and all my regular pants just hurt and dig into my belly.

  • My jeans still fit fine, until after lunch.  Then the bloat makes things uncomfortable.  It definitely looks like a bump until the next morning.   I work from home most of the time, so I've just been wearing yoga pants.   And it's still 90 degrees here, so summer dresses are still working, thank goodness!

    I have weeded throught my shirts, though.  There are quite a few that arent bloat bump friendly.

  • Yes, since like week 5. I guess that since I had my last baby 13 months ago and lost all the weight I'm showing way earlier than I did the first time around. I took out all my maternity clothes out a few weekends ago. I wonder how big I will get by the end of May! Surprise

  • I have a belly for sure. I've been in maternity pants got a good 3 weeks now...I'm sure that has a lot to do with the fact that I just had a baby in january so I'm pretty sure my uterus just jumped right back out lol

  • Yes, I am about the same as I was at 19/20 weeks last time. It is kind of embarrassing, lol.

    I think I'm in the minority here. I really am not showing and my regular pants fit as well as they did a month ago. By mid afternoon though I'm totally bloated. I wish I WAS showing a little by now! 

    This is me!

  • I'm definitely showing just a little bit.  At this point I can no longer "suck it in."

  • I think I am just fatter. I want to see some bumps, ladies!!!
  • Not even a little.  Sometimes my Dd belly is a little extra squishy though.

  • I was WELL rounded to begin with so I don't suspect that I'll develop that bump until later on in the 2nd trimester.

  • Definitely have a bump.  I'm in maternity pants full time, but no maternity shirts yet- they're still huge.  I think my bump is much bigger in my head than it actually is lol.  Sometimes I look preggo and sometimes I don't, depending on what I wear.  Today I wore a maternity dress and felt HUGE haha.

    Same here, love...same here. My pants all still button and although things are getting a bit tight, I haven't popped yet. I do have something that looks like a pregnant belly once I hit 3 or 4 p.m. :) FOOD BABY!

  • I love reading all you r responses!  I feel much better now :)
  • Mines still bloat at this point because I can button pants, it just creates a lovely muffin top look. Once I can't button the pants I'll call it a bump:)

    I literally feel like a stuffed sausage today, I want my bump to return!

    I loved dressing it last time, maternity clothes are easy and comfy!

    Here we go again! 2 u 2 :-) BabyFetus Ticker Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • Mine has! I can't suck it in anymore :( It is also really hard. I am only 5'1" so I am thinking that is why I am showing so much sooner than expected...  My coworker (who knows I'm pregnant) said she could tell I was pregnant and not just fat so that made me feel better :)

  • Nope, and I wish it would soon! My husband and I can see a tiny bit of roundness to my belly, which before could have been mistaken for too many burritos, but I think it's just all of my innards being pushed up. I did the summer/winter clothing swap last night and sadly had to leave a few favorite sweaters in the basement since they are not very long and fairly slim fitting. I was not going to have them take up space in my dresser just to wear them once or twice.
