Baby bump at 9weeks!!
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Baby bump at 9weeks!!
Baby bump - the baby is big enough to cause a bump against your skin.
Bloat - Uterus changes are causing gas/constipation. Often times when pregnant it will not feel like normal gas you may be used to, but it is gas nonetheless.
I agree with the ladies, that is bloat. However, if you want to rub and make baby talk to your gas, constipation, and water retention, go right ahead.

And if you want to rub it and talk to it and play Mozart to it through headphones on your stomach, whatevs. It's just kind of funny to those who know.
It's called a biology book, yo.
PS- as far as I know I'm not pregnant. I hate the "hormones" thing. A woman can be saucy without it having to do with her hormones. Stupid, ignorant shit is stupid ignorant shit. Where I am in my reproductive cycle or life doesn't define me.

Nevermind. Don't care.
Lets just say "Hey lookin good! Let me know what your favorite brand of maternity pants are!"
Not to get all "kumbaya", but seriously, snaek does not have to be disrespectful
It's bloat. Your uterus is still beneath your pelvic bone this early. Your distended uterus which is filled with baby and fluid is what makes a pregnancy bump. Most women still have a bump right after birth because their ute is still distended. It takes a while to go back to its normal size.
I also agree. I'm 5'2 and about 110 lbs, and I've had a distinct (yet not noticeable when I'm in clothes and I don't go around showing it off) forward expansion in my pelvic area these last few days (beyond the bloat I've had). I'm sure some of it is bloat, but I'm also told that some of it is uterus (I'm just over 10 weeks) So what? Like OP said, every BODY is different and so is every pregnancy, or so I've been told. You ladies are a community of people with personal experience (which is valuable in some cases) acting as though you're experts and trying to rain on someone else's parade for who-knows-what-reason.
Also, I would just like to say that I've read through a good number of posts and responses on this forum, especially in 1st tri, and I think that many of you should be ashamed of yourselves. So a girl is excited about what's likely her first pregnancy. She doesn't know everything, neither do you, maybe she just wants to gush. So let her, no reason to be so rude! This is a pregnancy forum! Of all places, I would think that this type of site would offer positivity and constructive advice, not bashing and flaming. You can be "honest" with someone without being a clique of nasty brats. Does being a mother really turn you into a rude, snarky woman? Cause many of you raise some serious concerns.
OP, I know you're probably very much showing right now since it's been a few months, and who cares what these nasty bitches say. You're beautiful and your baby will be too, take care and good luck!
Secondly, I've seen posters flagged over and over (and say things much nastier than I did) who are still around to post hateful trash for no reason, so if they ban me I have three other perfectly good pregnancy apps I can give 5 stars to. In other words, don't threaten me about the internet, over the internet. Lol.
Also, I clearly implied that honesty is fine! Necessary! Probably what most posters are seeking! BUT there's no reason to be rude about it. Seriously, no reason. Get over yourselves! The only reason you're all so nasty is because you have a computer screen in front of you and not a human being. People who flame on the internet FOR NO REASON (hint: I'm implying that acting the way some of you do toward a person who is seeking support is REASON to be flamed) are nothing more than cowards. And if you're this way IRL I'm glad I live in Ohio, where people are happy and polite unless provoked, not whatever awful place you're hailing from.
If you think it's bloat, fine. Many commenters responded with just this and it was sufficient AND honest. Why do you need to say any more than that, aside from being simply a mean person?
All I'm saying is that this doesn't exactly seem the type of place that people should feel comfortable being rude (to those who are trying to utilize the site for its true purpose) when it isn't NECESSARY. I'm so sick of hearing the "we don't blow glitter or provide unicorns" crap from you guys. There are about a billion other forums you can join to act like an asshole where it's perfectly acceptable and expected... why do it here?
Lastly, I'd just like to say that I'm a 26 year old college student who isn't married and is working on her FIRST child. Saying the word "bitch" isn't outside the realm of reality for someone in my position, not does it call into question my character. Being rude for no-good-reason would, which is what I've witnessed in full-force on this board. It's bothersome, concerning, and exhausting.
I'm going to start off by saying that I love me some mj.reilly. Seriously, girl, Iove ya!!
Now onto little Miss. Breakfast. LOL! Living in Ohio makes you a happy and polite? The worst human being I have ever known lives in Ohio.
The posters with a ton of flags that are still here mean that they never really did anything wrong and were false flagged by dumb newbies. It is the quality of the flag, not the quantity.
To the bolded part. We are super sick of hearing people spouting your kind of crap. There are about a billion other forums you can join to blow glitter up some asses where it is perfectly acceptable and expected. We were here first, sweetcheeks. (see what I did there?)

I give up.
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
Well honestly, what I'll "do" is either join a better, more productive and less completely awful forum (where I can get the few questions I'll have over the next seven months answered factually without people thinking I'm not doing a good enough job of "fitting in" -LOLOL) or simply block all of you who are rude, since I'm pretty sure I can do that. I'm not surprised or bothered by the fact that you're ganging up on me so-to-speak, it's pretty obvious that this is a (really sad and pathetic to say since this is the internet) "clique" of obviously angry, bitter, bored women. You're probably the women who are raising the type of brats and snobs that I'm so desperate to keep MY child away from. Ugh.
Oh, and (lol at this since it was such a dumb remark) I know some awful people in Ohio as well seeing as how I live here but for the most part, at least people have some common courtesy and don't go around cutting people down who don't deserve it or who were trying to start a friendly conversation.
I said it before and I'll say it again, get over yourselves. This is an Internet forum, it doesn't make you cool or clever to be mean or have "friends" on here, it just makes you pathetic. Really, really sad and pathetic.
K, bye.
