How big were/are you at 17 weeks?

angelamchamberlin · May 2014

You guys! I'm pregnant along with a million of my co-workers and everyone has to comment and compare our bellies. As annoying as it is, now I am curious how much most women's bellies have grown at 17 weeks?

I am not really sure how you want us to quantify this online but I am showing way more then I was with DD at this point. I have a belly for sure.

Search for "HDBD" in TB search field or page back and find the weekly HDBD posts. HDBD is a specific thread posted on every Wednesday for the purpose of sharing bump pics.

@VCGolfNYC is right that is a great place to check out I had not thought of that.

Check out HDBD thread for sure. If this helps...I got asked yesterday when I am due and when I said October the person was shocked and said "wow, so not for a while."

I'm 16 weeks with first baby and not showing at all! I can't suck in my tummy quite as much and my waist is 1.5 in bigger but other than that I just look chunkier. I'm sure I'll pop soon! I hope!

Agree with PP's... there is a wide range of normal! With #1 I didn't look pregnant @ 17 weeks. Now with #3 I have looked pregnant for a long time. Try not to worry about it too much. Even after all of us are clearly pregnant there will be differences in how big we get and how we carry the baby.

With twins + 2nd pregnancy, I was measuring at 20 weeks last week at 16 weeks pregnant.

I'm 18wks and 2 days almost 19 weeks. Unfortunately I may not be much help because I am measuring at 24 weeks due to fibroids! So I am pretty large (but all belly) =D>

Honestly, it depends on what I'm wearing. I've had some people tell me they can't tell at all and a few "you really are blossoming" comments.

I have gained 4 inches in my waste and 2 in my boobs. Up 2 lbs. I am a FTM, so I guess it'll take longer to show since the ab muscles are tighter or something like that. I also frequently have lunch babies.

Well I'm 18w0d with a full bladder in this picture fresh of the webcam. This just happened though.

Glas43 · May 2014

Im 18 weeks 3 days today and you can definately tell im pregnant but only from a side view! And im a FTM who basically had almost a 6pack abs before becoming pregnant!

Justabean3 · May 2014

I'm showing a lot. In fact way more than I want to be at this point. I feel like it is too much. I'm. 17 weeks and gained 6. There are some days I looks huge and some days it much smaller.

heathera1979 · May 2014

I will be 18weeks tomorrow and i am showing, but I don't think I would be much if it weren't for the fluff in front of the ute.

Eastie156 · May 2014

I'm showing a good amount, but this is also baby #2, which sometimes matters. I don't really remember that I showed a ton at 17 weeks, just a little.

hippohat · May 2014

Showing a lot, significantly more than with my first. Most people think I'm 6 months along… It's a perfect ball bump, so I can't really complain, except to feel weird that it's so out there. I hate all the comments.. (oh wow, you know you have a long way to go? Yes a-hole SISTER I do!) But, my doctor had nothing to say, and I've barely gained weight so far. Shrug.

fisk2005 · May 2014

Lmaoo :!! That's how I feel when people ask when am I due and I say October and they give me this look of remorse! "Or say wow! You have to go through the whole summer" :-w @hippohat‌

AmandaJean12 · May 2014

I feel like I'm huge, but I had extra fluff that gives the bump some extra padding. But I'm also super short. I'll never have the cute little half basketball some of my friends have... I just accept it.

slsl509 · May 2014

Totally have a bump. I think I'm looking about 3-4 weeks further this time than with my first pregnancy. Wearing maternity pants, regular shirts.

I hate telling people when I'm due because of all the comments. With DD people said that same shit "ohh you're going to be so huge. you have a long way to go" and that crap.

ETA: eh, I just looked at my belly shots and I grossly underestimated my size with DD. So I would say it's about the same at this point. Looking at my week 39 pics made me a little queasy.
