Bump @7 wks?

Finally914 · January 2014

Anyone else this bloated? I look way further along than 7 weeks.. But trying to hide in sweatshirts.
It shows in everything else.

GTKY: my husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for 5. We have had 3 miscarriages prior to this pregnancy so trying to wait until 12 weeks to tell family.
First miscarriage @ 6 wks,
Second miscarriage @ 6 wks again,
Third miscarriage @ 9 wks...
All three losses were through IVF and thousands of $ and surgeries and several years of heartache. Now we have three angels in heaven looking out for this new little miracle. We got pregnant WITHOUT any fertility help this time. That has NEVER happened for us.

So this pregnancy is so different for us.

Prayers of protection for this little bundle.. Due date is my husband's birthday. I got goosebumps when I found that out.
God is good.

I am definitely sporting a bigger belly right now. Sweats and maternity pants are the only thing that fits right now.

P.S. You have a cute blump

DogfishHead · January 2014

You look pretty fit, so you probably sgow the bloat more. Your little belly is very cute and I hope bean is snuggling in forvthe long haul.

Campow83 · January 2014

First off I'm so sorry for your losses. This is my first preg. since my loss last year and it's scary for sure. We had our loss at 8 weeks so we are def. trying to get past a certain point before we tell people. It is so hard to try to hide the bloated belly as I am normally pretty tiny but even though I'm still at the beg. weeks I look pregnant. I haven't seen my family for almost 2 weeks and I'm supposed to see my family over the weekend, all I can think about is them noticing why I look a little bigger around the waist. It's hard to hide the bloat for sure

Your blump is adorable! I would rock the heck out of that! I'm very sorry for your previous losses. FX for your little miracle!

icaughtfire · January 2014

Sorry to hear about your losses, and wishing you the best with this pregnancy.

To answer your question, I'm totally bloated but not rocking that cute of a bump.

jessicainkentucky · January 2014

Embrace the bump, even if it's just bloat. I have to tell myself this. Mine is huge in the evening, then I pee it away overnight. Then it's back again by the next evening. God is good. It's hard to complain when I've been so blessed.

Old Navy has some amazing leggings with a wide waistband that I've been rocking lately.

Rnmischele · January 2014

That's a heck of a bump for only 7 weeks. Have you had your first prenatal visit yet?

Aleighb89 · January 2014

So sorry for your loss. Your bump is awesome maybe there are twins in there!

AmandaR204 · January 2014

Bumpalicious indeed! Love it, good luck

hollster8 · January 2014

If that's just bloat, you carry your bloat well! Lol, my bloat just looks like I ate too much pasta ... for a week.

Such a cute bump!

rubes90 · January 2014

Sorry for your losses but looks like you're doin great! I am goin to be at 9 weeks Thursday and feel like none of my clothes fit but there's a lil bump for me too and I'm carrying two so could there b two for u as well? Good luck!!!

Psalm4610 · January 2014

I'm sorry for your losses. It is really amazing that your due date is your DH's birthday! Praying prayers of protection for you and your LO.

I am also really bloated (I'll be 7w tomorrow) and pants are fitting tight. I am small framed, so it is getting really obvious and kind of hard to "suck it in," LOL.

Meganz927 · January 2014

Cute blump! Congrats and I know it's hard I'm also PGAL. H&H 9 months ;;)

MrsLaLaBug · January 2014

That some serious bloat, girlfriend!! Did you eat Chinese? Lol

bumpuser10199668 · January 2014

I would definitely increase your water intake.

bumpuser10199668 · January 2014

Although our uteruses (uteri?) are growing at warp speed, it's smaller than a grapefruit until 12 weeks and tucked firmly behind the pelvis. Again, it's bloat and water is your friend. Or youre about six weeks further along than you think

Finally914 · January 2014

Thanks everyone. I am drinking water like crazy, actually not very constipated anymore -- and still, that bump. Jeez, I will keep with water, fruit, veggies. I just continue to pray health over all of our little ones.. Can't wait to be done with 1st trimester. Never made it that far, so it will be huge for us

to make 12 weeks!

Ultrasound next Wednesday, so we will get an update!

Finally914 · January 2014

I could care less about gaining weight or having a bloated bump... Just want a healthy baby! Good luck everyone & rest when you can. I can fall asleep sitting up anywhere these days. Or 3pm in the afternoon feels like 2am ..

shutaff · January 2014

Woah! I am 9 weeks and thought I was getting a little "blump." But it's nothing like yours... That looks like a legit bump. I'm guessing you are further along than you think or multiples. Good luck!

Keep in mind our uteruses are growing at warp speed. Her tiny body doesnt have much extra room for that so things are shifting. I also wouldnt be surprised if a dating us puts you further along (or a double?). Congrats

IDK. I'm just as small as she is, so either her losses have something to do with it or she is wayyy farther along.

JustCricket · January 2014

wow. are you sure you're only 7weeks!? I'm 8 and got nothing to show (other than my now gigantic boobs)

kirstynikole · January 2014

Wow! Yea I've got a little bloat going on near my pelvic area but nothing like that! I haven't noticed too much except I'm not able to see the side slit on my abs too well anymore and my chubby jeans fasten but dig into my lower belly. Maybe you are further along or you've got a couple in the oven! Congrats sending you positive baby juju!

Target has great cheap legging with a soft fold over band.. I'd try some of those out. All I've been in lately are sweats & leggings.

kriley602774 · January 2014

I've been awfully bloated as well, especially today! Wishing my job allowed me to wear comfy pants... I may have to buy new clothes sooner than planned. And jeans are the devil right now.

Such a cute bump though! And also agreeing with everyone else, you may be further than you think or even multiples! Praying for you and a healthy baby(ies).

bumpuser10199668 · January 2014

@istrejcek YOUR mother is a whore

GabbyCat13 · January 2014

I'm sorry for your losses. You're bump is too cute!!! FX for you!

drae86 · January 2014

I agree, that bump is adorable! I'm 7 weeks and you can't tell at all besides bloat looks like i'm on my period...

Keep us updated on your U/S my guess would be double! Congrats! and FX for you and the upcomign weeks/months!

jbzwifey · January 2014

Thank God you posted this. I thought I was the only one. This number 4 and with my last one this happened too. Embrace and Love every minute! As for hiding it... Sweats are my best frien

BTW I'm 8 weeks today

drae86 · January 2014

@jbzwifey, your's is adorable too! It's incredible the difference between bumps/weeks/ladies. Congrats, too cute!

bookqueen · January 2014

What a cute bloat belly, lol.

JustCricket · January 2014

Glad I haven't retained that much water and bloat yet! I have put on like 5 lbs though. I guess it's all in the boobs since my pants all still fit. ooooorrr maybe I should push m y belly out and see if I can get a cute blump.

bumpuser10199668 · January 2014

I just...can't...even.

bookqueen · January 2014

Sunnyalj · January 2014

I don't know, I think I could probably push my belly out to look like that. Your bloat is adorable but it is bloat

AnyMax · January 2014

jbzwifey · January 2014

If I pushed it out it would be worse and yep it's bloat of course but either way it's there and you have to hide it. It gets progressively worse as the day goes on....

I'm so jealous! With my other pregnancies I got the boobs, but nada with this one. I'm a very small person (with equally small boobs) to begin with, and I was hoping for another shot at sporting some bigger girls.
