Bump?

in July 2013 Moms
So I've definitely "popped" as you all say. FTM here so no idea what to expect, but I will say this, now that I have a real bump I sorta hate it. It's def baby not bloat, because it's here in the morning and pretty darn hard. Back when I had bloat it grew at night and was still mushy. Buuuut my bloat bump had a much cuter shape! I just look fatter now! Does that even make sense??? Wouldn't bloat be more all around poundage effect? Someone whipped out an OWT to make me feel better and said I must be having a girl bc you carry them more all over. My mom always says that girls steal their momma's beauty bc it's their turn. But I just want a cute bump! Ok, I'm officially whining at you ladies so I'll stop. But anyone with me???

    Oh and thanks to the MS I'm still 2 pounds under where I was the day of my missed period. I was down as much as 8, but have gained 6 back since MS is better but not gone. Maybe that's 6 pounds of fat on me now????

    You're still very early for a cute bump. The ute is just starting to move up so you probably have an uncute bump because of your internal organs moving around and stuff. It will be cute. Just give it some more time. Early second tri is a hard bump period because it's awkward. Give it a few more weeks.

    I know what you mean. With DS, I had a great bump from about 18 weeks on; all belly, really cute. I could even rock a bikini. Until the very end, of course, when I looked like I'd swallowed a beach ball.

    This time I'm just getting WIDE. My gut, my hips, my legs... Even my effing nose is wider. And I'm only just 12 weeks tomorrow. Everyone tells me it's because it's a girl this time. I'd almost wish for another boy if I could get my cute bump back.

    How far along are you? On average most FTM don't see a bump until 20 weeks. If you are thin, then you might see a difference at 15 weeks. Again, everyone is different, so it could still be bloat or baby. Usually its STM and onward that have bumps early though.

    Also,  your internal organs do shift around a bit and can create a bump that isn't your uterus yet (which might explain the shape issue). Again, there is no way for us to know. Ask your physician next time you see them. They can tell you if they feel your uterus over your pubic bone when they measure you laying down.

    A good way to tell is to lay down flat on your back. If you feel a protrusion right at your hip bone going towards your navel then that could be your uterus. I'm just over 12 weeks and feel my uterus above my pelvic bone. This is my second baby.

    Yes! WIDE is exactly what I am. Even when I was 8 pounds down my pants didn't fit and I felt wider. Glad it's not just me. I'm 13w now so I will hang on a bit more before I complain. Thanks for indulging a really whiney version of me just now.

    Oh yea forgot to include this. The hard spot I am referencing was confirmed to be my ute at my last OB appt. it's still under my navel, but higher than most she said. I had a relatively slim frame before but Im the first to admit my 30s figure is not my 20s figure. I was always ok with it bc it was always healthy, but I was not the 20s version of myself in XS / S clothes for the last few years.

    I really dont remember when I got my bumps with my older kids because that was over 10 years ago. I do remember showing well before 20 weeks because I worked in an ER and when I got anatomy Ultrasound I remember telling one of the ER docs I worked with I was having a boy!!! His response "Just one??" I told him just cause he was doctor doesn't mean he wont trip accidently walking infront of my desk!!

    I can agree that I was round all over with my girl, my freaking shoes didn't fit!!! In labor I work socks and soccer shoes to the hospital, so not cute. I gave up on undies often wearing boxers or nothing. But with my boy I was still big because I have 10 pound babies but it was more bump then all over swelling. Yes sadly the nose swells too...there are very few pics of me pregnant with daughter.

    My pre-pregnancy weight was 98 lbs. and I started sporting a pooch at 10 weeks. Mind you, others couldn't see it. But I've got quite the noticeable bump now at just 12 weeks. My midwife told me it's because I'm very slender and there isn't anything for my uterus to hide behind.
