STMs or more- How is your BUMP looking?

gypsymystic · December 2013

I feel huuuugeeee compared to my first- I was barely showing at 4 months with DS, and I am not quite 16 weeks yet, with my bump looking like dis...

I am 5'8 and started off at 126 lbs, a size 3. I've gained about 7lbs thus far.
*EDIT: added 25(ish) week pic from first pregnancy, here it is:

lol This 'bump' looks like my 24+ week bump I had with my first, comparing pics. Here is my 5 month bump from #1, I think I was 25 or 26 weeks but I don't have a zoomed out pic since my computer crashed after that... I also got that Tattoo covered up since then. lol

I did a side by side of about 22weeks with DD and 14weeks with this one. I'm actually glad, I hated waiting so long to get past the chubby stage and get to the pregnant looking stage.

Brandyjean30 · December 2013

My phone won't let me attach a picture but yes!
I'm as big now at 18 weeks as I was at 25 weeks with DD. I also feel like I'm carrying a lot lower, but that might just be because my uterus is still below my belly button.

eghulse · December 2013

I'm 15+2, and not even really showing. I wore normal jeans today.

As a STM, I thought I'd be showing WAY more by this point....

Me too! With DD at this point I was way bigger. But I attribute my difference to the terrible MS I had with this pregnancy.

MissLadyTay · December 2013

I can still hide it in the right clothes but its much bigger than last time at this stage. Definitely more like 24 weeks from my first pregnancy.

ckandi007 · December 2013

I feel like I look about the same as I did with my first! I do a side by side comparison every week. I still haven't gained any weight over PP weight, but I did gain back the 3 lbs I lost during 1st tri finally.

Cute pics, you do look nearly identical. I too, have to admit as someone said I am glad you can tell it's a baby bump earlier this time around, I like showing it off.

*edit: added 5 mo. bump pic to the OP

You look great for 17 weeks! Do you know what you're having yet? It looks girl this time.

AnnieA75 · December 2013

I'm 15w and only look chubby. I definitely thought I'd have an obvious bump by now.

munsterdani · December 2013

I'm definitely bigger this time around than last time around. I started showing very early this time and haven't really grown much since. I would say I look like I did around 22-24 weeks with my first at 18 weeks this time around.

jntaylor11 · December 2013

I think I'm about the same or smaller. I'm kinda sad, I thought I'd look more pregnant being a STM.

runningyogimama · December 2013

I'm a lot bigger faster this fine, but I still feel like I just look fat if you don't know I'm pregnant.

yvanehtnioj · December 2013

Ok I look like an STM but I'm a FTM. My 15 week bump is matching up with these perfectly. And it's not a blump anymore, swear!

Shell+Bell · December 2013

While I do have a bump starting to show I seem to be getting wider instead of sticking out. Similar to my first, but my second stuck right out pretty quickly. I had to tell work at 10 weeks cause it was starting to become obvious. This time I've been able to hide it, and have only told 4-5 people.

katesy21 · December 2013

I'm huge already, 15 weeks and look at least 20+. When I say I'm due in May people: A- look shocked or B-tell me I'm going to have a big baby. Baby is measuring ahead but I also still had plenty of flab from my 1st 2 that I just can't suck in anymore. It does look like a baby bump and not just fat though.

TheBeeCharmer · December 2013

This is my third. I look like I'm about 7 months

with my second, I didn't notice much of a difference. I haven't taken any bump pics yet either...

deanna1313 · December 2013

@azlebella I'm a first time mom so I can't comment on if I'm bigger, but I am 16 weeks and I am bigger than you are in your picture on my first pregnancy. Lol I am 5ft6 and starting weight was 118. It is crazy and I'm dealing with a lot of comments that didn't bother me at first, but are feeling like insults now. For example, "You look like me when I was 6 mths" and "are you sure there aren't twins in there?"
I'm all belly so I'm just rocking it like I'm 5-6 months pregnant! Haha! I think I look cute, but just further along. I am a little concerned about what I will look like at 8-9months!
You look great whether you are bigger this time or not! Rock that bump!

Chellbell20 · December 2013

I didn't look clearly pregnant until close to 25w last time, this time I do now at 17w. I'm loving looking pregnant and not just chubby!!

I was surprised I'm not bigger by now, but I'm sure that will come. But I'm glad I can let it all hang now, too

mmks · December 2013

I barely had a bump at 16 weeks last time. I feel like I'm about a month ahead of where I was last time. I'm hoping it will all even out in the end!

blazinangel1702 · December 2013

17 weeks with both babies, everyone says girl this time. I think girl but have convinced myself its a boy again lol

jjtyler · December 2013

I'm just turning 17 and well, I have a little pudge that can be viewed as a bump at the end of the night. I am still wearing my regular clothes most days with the rubber band trick and bella band....feel like the next week or so, that'll be it. Eating has been a real struggle for me.

MrsT2008 · December 2013

I'm 17 weeks and haven't been able to hide it for quite some time. I look like I did around 20-22 weeks last time. It popped out a lot sooner (I had a legit bump by 8 weeks), but it's been growing slowly since then, thank goodness. I got huge with DD and wasn't really sure I could be any bigger!

Divine0chaos · December 2013

This is weird but in actually showing less with this one O.o

RickiLea25 · December 2013

@TheBeeCharmer
I'm right there with you, I'm thinking about changing my name to Large Marge.
I have not done bump pictures. This is baby number 3 and I have never really done the bump pics :-S

MinaE01 · December 2013

I've really popped in the last couple of weeks. I didn't pop with DS until about 22 weeks. So I'd say I look the way I did with him at 24 weeks. I'm with the others, I'm glad I look pregnant so early instead of just fat. The downside is that I weigh about what I did with him at 24 weeks. I'm putting on weight like a boss :-/

jessicastanley · December 2013

Mine still looks blumpy. Good news is this time you can't tell from the back!!

awisern · December 2013

I'm sad - you all look great! I'm a stm and almost 19 weeks and people have a hard time knowing I'm pregnant - I just look big and fat

ponsfemale · December 2013

This is baby 3 for us and i feel huge! With mat jeans and shirts I definitely look pregnant. Without I just look like I have a large muffin top!

IBackBevo · December 2013

I'm really big. Seriously, I think I am as big now as I was at 7 or 8 months last time. I had iugr last time so was really small, though. DH told me I am as big as when I delivered before. That is an

Ute was almost to my belly button at 12 week nt scan. Last night baby was moving/kicking like crazy and I could feel it up well above my belly button and not too far below my ribs. I am 16.5 but was measuring 5 days ahead at nt scan. Now I think I am probably further ahead than that.

dakota01 · December 2013

I am huge this time (#4) and as it is fun that I am showing- I am getting kinda worried how large I will be at the end... this baby is all out in front and up high. Different then my others who were lower.

I swear, it must be a body frame thing because I am much smaller this time around then with DS. I got acid reflux and went on a health food binge. Lost my baby weight last time + some.

Cute bump pic idea!! You look great!!

MegCullen · December 2013

This is my third and I'm much bigger this time. I'm 19 weeks now and look about 25/26 lol. I'm carrying a lot differently this time too, my first two are boys and I was small and all baby with them, they rode low the whole time. This one is much higher and wider.
