Well, a couple people have noticed

Tonysgirl03 · October 2014

Just to put some back ground, this is baby #4, I popped quick this time.

Just yesterday I went to the laundromat to do wash. A gal with the cutest little kids asked me how far along I am. Up until now, no one has noticed. I don't go around advertising it lol. Not a couple hours later I was at the commissary (the grocery store on base) and the bagger gal didn't want to ask, but she did. She then spent the rest of the walk to the car scolding herself for not noticing sooner so she didn't make my bags so heavy. I promised her I would empty them part way so they would not be heavy as I toted them in to the house. BTW they were not really all that heavy. It was sweet of her to be concerned and notice.

So, have you been noticed by anyone random that you don't already know?

I was noticed by three people who just said I was glowing in my cheeks. I told everyone at work yesterday and three MEN were like yeah, we knew. I immediately said, "are you calling me fat?!" haha, but they said it was clear in my eyes and cheeks. Didn't really see that coming...

We had a student at work who apparently asked one of my colleagues how far along I was. I was barely 13 weeks and this is baby #1!

One of my co workers has said she could tell, also told me I needed to watch myself because I'm showing so soon. And another who already knew if I had a baby bump under my loose shirt yesterday. Why yes I do, 13w2d for me.

Unless I wear a really loose blouse mine is pretty obvious. I am getting a bit tired of the looks of shock when they find out I'm only 16 weeks, though. I look about 6 or 7 months already. *le sigh*

I had a man in the BX say something, he is the car sales man and apparently my 4yr olds best friend, he asked if I needed a bigger car for the growing family.

Next time someone random asks, I want to give them the total shocked and offended face, like "what are you talking about" just to screw with them. I, of course, would tell them afterwards I was just jacking with them. I think it'd be pretty funny to see their reaction though.

I'm 15 weeks with baby 1 and it's damn obvious so kids at my school are starting to ask. No randoms yet though!

I carry all my grocery bags in at once. Am I not supposed to?

This lady i work with told me she "couldn't stop staring at it." ?wtaf?

I had one at work, then a delivery guy, and MIL all notice at 8 weeks. I was pretty unhappy about getting called out so early.

I'm just short of 16 weeks with baby #3 and there's no hiding this bump anymore. I have a large uterus and Im going to embrace it!

That's what I was thinking! Yesterday I carried like 9 grocery bags in one go.

I don't think I can hide it anymore. At 12w 5d my blump can't be sucked in so I'm embracing it. I was over looking frumpy and just wearing oversized clothing, so I bought/borrowed/found pants that's fit and shirts to grow into. I feel so much better. But there's no more hiding it.

Also as far as lifting heavy objects isn't it more about straining while lifting than the weight itself?

It's because of the relaxin hormone. It is easier to strain a muscle/ligament or something so if it's not something you are used to doing it isn't recommended. I'm not sure what straining would create?

Same here.

The gal packed my groceries in those large brown paper sacks. I can only do one or two of those at once. Its not near as easy as plastic sacks. And yes, I will get them all done in as few trips as possible when packed that way

jk3610 · October 2014

As far as lifting (since my job involves a fair amount of it), if I was used to doing it before, I can keep doing it now. Despite that, I still politely decline from putting those heavy ass cat litters back in people's carts. Lol.

No one seems to notice

But maybe I'm keeping my posture straighter & better at hiding the blump-almost-bump. Cuz before I was even pregnant, people would randomly ask.. "Are you.. By any chance..??" At work, at costco sample line.. Haha

Someone asked to touch my stomach today!! I was like "WTF?!?" I'm only 13 weeks AND it's my first!

Oh that would freak me out! Especially with my first. Ask to touch theirs back, they won't try that anymore
