HDBD... for all the early show-ers

bhjones1980 · August 2014

Yep, not hiding it anymore... I haven't told everyone at my work yet, not that it is a secret anymore but I don't feel like bringing it up with people I don't know that well. So I am starting to get weird looks in the office kitchen.

13 weeks 4 days with #2

nbad311 · August 2014

Wow, you look great! What a cute bump!

cls78 · August 2014

Cute! My OB and husband said I am starting to show, but I am not seeing it yet. lol.

PeaceofKia · August 2014

13w5d with twins. Not bad!

selly08 · August 2014

@bhjones1980‌ I am totally showing too. I haven't told work yet too and like you said people stare! I have been pretty much thin always so suddenly when people notice a tummy they go "OMG! What have you done to yourself! You look fat! Why don't you start working out?" And I just smile back saying, "that's what summer break did to me." I wear super loose tunics to work to hide my bump. I can't wait to break the news to my boss now. I am totally ready to show off my baby bump (no more a blump) $:\$ ">

lotsofdotts · August 2014

Unfortunately, I think my "showing" is more of the fact that I can't suck in my gut anymore.

Maple403 · August 2014

Just thick here. My tummy is rounding a bit but there is not a big difference from the bloat if 1st tri. I've switched to belted tunics over skirts and things like that, so people have noticed a change in wardrobe but no one had commented on my size. I might just have polite coworkers tho

nbad311 · August 2014

A lady at work told me a wives tale I hadn't heard yet, that if you have a very concise, neat bump, it's a girl, and if you're just expanding at the waist in every direction, it's a boy. Correct for me... I am growing in every which way from boobs to butt. (aka just getting fat)

PeaceofKia · August 2014

Just belly for me, and only belly for me with DD, so could this mean I'm having two more girls? @nbad311‌ FI wouldn't like that very much, lol.

MIL told me the same thing. If thats the case I must be having twins boys

Ive heard the opposite, if you are ALL bump = BOY (that is how I was with DS, you couldnt even tell I was pregnant from behind),

and if you expand every which way = GIRL

michelle142 · August 2014

Cute bumps!!

I still have no definite bump, but I'm super bloated by days end.

I'm waiting to tell work until I absolutely have to, so I've been wearing baggy tops just in case.

animalcrckr · August 2014

A few days past 14 weeks with #4.

I've heard the same. However, I've had the same bump with each pregnancy. We were team green with all of them. First two were boys. The third pregnancy I was CONVINCED I was having another boy just b/c everything was the same. Same bump, same exact pregnancy experience. When DH announced we had a girl in the delivery room I thought he was playing a cruel joke on me. Turns out, it doesn't matter (at least for me) what the bump looks like.

Irishcurls · August 2014

Oh man you ladies are so frickin cute!! I'm still rotating my two pairs of "fat jeans" with loose shirts.

jaztastic · August 2014

So here is my blump from the pics I took over the weekend for our announcements. I simply can not suck it in anymore... whatever man, dont judge my life. lol

Irishcurls · August 2014

Shut the hell up. The whole outfit is so good. I'm super jealous.

kbelly777 · August 2014

@jaztastic‌ though shoes ain't playing around girl! They are so cute! And you look great in them!

@bhjones1980‌ cute bump! There is definitely no denying that anymore.

@animalcrckr‌ I'm a bit jelly of how stinking cute you are! Your bump is adorable!

lizjennings81 · August 2014

I was just about to ask about your dress, @jaztastic. Lovely outfit, lovely mom!

I can still suck it in even though my stomach's rounder, so no pic for me today. But everyone here looks beautiful!

jaztastic · August 2014

@ChickenOnSunday you see Im sitting down right!! lol My usual shoe preference has been a challenge this summer, so mainly I rock cute sandals and flip flops.

kefttsc · August 2014

I crack myself up taking before and after meal pictures. The green shirt is first thing Sunday morning. The red tshirt is after lunch. I know the pose isn't exactly the same, but I think it's so funny the difference!

ETA: Why are they sideways? Stupid iPhone.

kbelly777 · August 2014

I'll play this week!

I'm still not completely convinced the bump is all baby and not bloat, but it definitely getting more and more attention form friends and family who "swear" I'm showing.

@kefttsc I SO feel you about the bump getting bigger after meals! Mine is always more prominent at nighttime too.

teshadgirl · August 2014

i think i'm starting to show a little (FTM here) and definitely becomes more pronounced at night which is probably bloat. i have some pictures but will spare you ladies because i'm in a sports bra and gym tights in those. maybe i'll take a more appropriate picture this week to post later

FlowerPower16 · August 2014

I'll play this week also. 13 + 4 with baby #3.

kbelly777 · August 2014

cute shirt @FlowerPower16 !

Cookie0875 · August 2014

This makes me want a bump even more than I already did!!! I have the slightest little thing that I can feel when I rub my belly, but you can't see it.

All of you ladies have VERY cute bumps!

selly08 · August 2014

All you ladies with the bumps look really cute. Yaayyy to the "cute looking" phase of pregnancy!

jaymo517 · August 2014

15 weeks today and finally starting to show :-) this was from camping, I promise I don't pose outside with plants for all my pics haha

lizzybean · August 2014

Yay I get to play this week!! 13w3d (yesterday) with #2. I am missing you ladies a ton. I promise I will be around more when we get back to Orlando again next week.

MommyOfAMiracle · August 2014

Heard the same and it was true for me with my boys

CogDis · August 2014

You gals all look amaze balls!

I particularly love @jaztastic‌ 's outfit!

Dumb FTM here. I'm 14 weeks, haven't gained a pound, and I'm not showing at all! :-( I'm a fatty and carry my weight in my middle, so I've always had a pouch. Does this mean that I'm not ever going to show?

Do you have to gain weight to show?
