  I had lots of cramping and fitful sleeping last night. I don't feel bloated or constipated. I woke up and found this!!! This is my 3rd baby and I'm most likely 6 weeks.

  100% bloat.  Even if it were your 10th kid, at 6 weeks it's bloat.
  

  Son: Jackson, 11/02/06, stillborn due to PPROM and IUGR. Over the next ten years we had 9 miscarriages from 8-14 weeks. On May 18, 2016 my daughter, Ridley, was born. We're OADNBC.

  Bloat or not, my SIL was in maternity clothes at 6-8 weeks with her 3rd.
  
  I'm not able to zip my jeans and this is my 2nd.
  
  IMO it's some crazy bloat if it's just bloat. I definitely feel things changing in there.

  The baby is the size of a green pea and behind your pelvic bone... what you're seeing is 98% bloat.

  I do but I had crazy bloat my first two and never looked like this. I looked round and flat tire looking. I only have the bump under the belly button.. It isn't nec baby I think I see but I think it I my insides moving up really. When I lay flat the area just above my pelvic bone is firm already when I slightly push on it.. Like it is the top of my uterus.
  
  Everything just feels bruised

  ^That's what I would wonder too.
  
  If it's just bloat, what explains that women tend to show faster after their first pregnancy? I haven't seen a study on that. Just my opinion based upon myself, friends and family.

  @AggieBeth06: The bloat is less contained because the muscles are stretched more. It's all bloat.

  How do you think it's a baby bump if it is just the size of a pea? Do you think there is a magical mini-pumpkin in there?

  These kind of statements do NOT go over well on TB. Especially for those of us that have experienced losses, and would love nothing more than to have a healthy pregnancy. Then to have someone who's on her third and say she hopes she doesn't birth a prince. Its just tactless.

  I will most likely have a boy.. There are 7 nephews. I can still want a girl. It doesn't make it right to say hateful things to other people.
  
  And beside that you know nothing of my journey, how many mc's, how long it took ttc...

  I don't believe I ever said anything about knowing your journey. I also said nothing hateful. I'm just telling you why it bothers people on here to hear that type of comment. But if you're just going to instantly get mean and defensive, you should probably just GBCB.

  I just think I am allowed to feel how I want about when hoping for a gender. I'm defensive because someone else said I'm annoying and then you tell me I can't feel that way bc there are people who just want a baby.
  
  When I say my journey I mean you have no idea how I just wanted a baby with my first. It doesn't/didn't offend me that others prefer a gender.

  You are hoping for a certain SEX not gender.

  Sex- biological and physiological characteristics of a male or female.

  
  

  Gender- social and cultural rather than biological differences between the sexes. 

  
  

  They are not interchangeable words.

  Why are people hurtful today?
  
  C_mo you don't agree with me on the other thread so now you/other hate me?
  
  I prefer a certain sex because I have two healthy boys.. So now you/others hate me?
  
  I asked about bloat or bump and now everyone hates me?
  
  But is it perfectly fine to outright call someone annoying or to tell someone they are not allowed to prefer something?
  
  I'm glad that it is ok to say hateful and hurtful things to other people and people feel ok with that.
  
  It doesn't matter today people are just irritated at me and because I have no face they can say what they want to me and hurt my feelings. It is sad though considering I am a real person just like everyone else who is pregnant just like everyone else. I'm just me.

  This is the internet and she posted a question to the whole internet and people responded and she didn't like what they had to say and then she proceeded to call them mean for not agreeing with her. If she did not want honest answers and whatever opinions people had she should have called up her mom not posted on the bump.

  Honestly, no one has been mean.  There has been minimal snark from what I've seen.  People aren't always going to say "yippee!" and  say that everyone is awesome and perfect.  The bump is known for being honest and straightforward and not being a glittery babydust place.  That's why I love it.  People will not get along, people will argue, but we're all adults, move on.  Realize  that like in real world, we're not all going to be best friends.  

  
  

  @justabean2 get over the annoying comment. Simply move on.  Harping on it is not helping you at all at this point.
