Letting it die.... PSA: YOU ARE NOT SHOWING

Bump bump bump it up!

OctoberStars · November 2014

Things that piss me off here:

1) Asking if it's a bump because I KNOW MY BODY and it could be multiples. No. Saying that "I know my body" means that you are either stupid and don't believe in science, or on the wrong BMB. Saying shit like "OMG YOU TOTALLY COULD BE" when we know that there is no way in hell you aren't, is just wrong. People already think that pregnant women have "pregnancy brain" (which is a myth btw), can we not make people think we're idiots during the next 9 months? I'd really like to be taken seriously at my job and in life and anyone that want to perpetuate straight up magic is hindering this.

2) Asking us to decide if your 1st tri /s is a boy or girl. Again, any guesses here are old wives tales. It drives me friggin nuts. Old wives tales about gender during first tri are all false. Let's NOT make people think we are idiots who believe in magic.

Let's encourage society to treat us as humans rather than hormonal airheads by engaging in intelligent discourse.

eta: I'm a first time mom, so the excuse that OH BUT I'M A FTM SO TOO EXCITED FOR SCIENCE does not fly with me.

shelbutler · November 2014

@OctoberStars‌ thank you so much for that! Seriously.

Wow talk about debbie downers around here for a lot of women this is their first pregnancy and they are excited. This post is just rude! I mean seriously I pray that these excited ftm's dont read this post. I don't care if its bloat, a baby, or a big lunch if it males you happy thinking its baby go right ahead some women need to get off their high horse jeez

I'm a FTM and I don't want someone blowing glitter up my ass and telling me I'm really showing when that's impossible. I'd rather be educated and not sound like a derp when I'm talking to people, so I appreciate the honesty the ladies on here provide.
If you no likey, you are free to vacate the premises.

Another FTM mom here: srsly, this. Also even if this post prevents only ONE woman from making a picture of her caressing her blump her avatar, our job here is done.

Oh god. There's already so many. So many bloat belly avatars.

Would it be better if I made mine a pic of my H caressing his blump? He gets those on the regular... ;-)

Be grateful that no one has yet posted asking us to help her figure out who her baby daddy is. Currently deleting my WTE app due to this. 4 different women already... ~O)

Is that "What To Expect"?? I need to know so I can avoid it like a "can I die my haer?" thread.

cherish1986 · November 2014

I come here for the gifs.

crikit83 · November 2014

Super excited FTM, and I only take issue with the advice to poop. I mean I get it, it's just... I would if I could.

Seriously, I miss pooping.

catahoulatte · November 2014

Damn. I just came back after my little white knight GBCB'd and tried an insult. Unfortunately I didn't see it because I was finishing up my work. At work.

I don't know why I have to justify myself (I don't) but I work based on deadlines. I get shit done and I don't have someone breathing down my neck. I give myself a 5-10 minute break once an hour and pop in here or check my email or something. That apparently just BLOWS MINDS sometimes.

Oh ETA @merrae . For funsies.

katherinepopp · November 2014

I'm not going to lie, I definitely have been rubbing my belly as a signal to random people to explain my embarrassing poo baby pump. I'm endlessly hungry, nauseated, and constipated- all which have given me a glorious looking "beer belly" that my pencil skirts at work like to highlight. I'm tiny so the bloat is so noticeable- that Beyoncé post is totally me sometimes right now

tigerlynx31413 · November 2014

I have nothing original, just bumpity! Oh and of course a cat GIF!

tizzie25 · November 2014

Oh but I must be showing! It feels like I was sleeping on a baseball! Oh wait.. I fell asleep in my kids ball pit again..

babycarb · November 2014

bump

shelbutler · November 2014

@HolKat you've got to be freaking kidding me.

@tigerlynx31413 thats one of my all time favorite gifs! I had a cat that would do that.

So cute.

Bump B-)

I went into Motherhood this past Saturday. The happy little schmendrick was doing her due diligence and asked how far along i was. So i tell her I'm rolling into my 6th week and she looked so confused. So i explained that I'm extremely bloated and uncomfortable and would just like to have some jeans that fit for work. My H finally gets that it's not baby yet and he now asks if he can rub the bloat.

WafflesFriendsWork · November 2014

Bumpity bump.

A little jealous of people with real bumps but super glad I can still fit into all my clothes.

mollykinnz · November 2014

Okay I'm having the same problems. I found that at kohls they have Lee brand pants with elastic in the waist. They look exactly like regular dress pants but are way more comfy and you can find them in the clearance section. I also found some super stretch Levi jeggings. Oh heaven!

Bumping on The Bump

ifwisheswerefishes · November 2014

I'm still fat from DD (not DH, stupid brain). If my ute wasn't hard as a fucking rock, I would think I was just fluffier.

Seriously.

I also miss pooping.

jgrace82 · November 2014

Buuuuuuuuuuump. ( in your mind that should sound like a giant belch)
Also, how come all the WKs have weirdo cartoon avatars of big blump bellys? Just saying.

JulyMommy24 · November 2014

Fallen to the FOURTH page, yikes.

lauravitale81 · November 2014

At some point this post will not be relevant to our group and I can't wait for that day!

indiejavamama3 · November 2014

Can't let this marvelous thread fall past the first page!

biancamoyes · November 2014

Bump bump y'all are sassy

jazzmarie7688 · November 2014

I'm a little on the chubby side and just the other day I was telling my best friend that since I'm pregnant I should just go ahead and buy maternity pants. I know darn well it's because of my food baby and not my "poppy seed" as my H likes to refer to it. Lol

squeegoi · November 2014

At this point, the Americans are showing their fourth or fifth month of Thanksgiving baby. *rubs turkey and potato blump*

kmiller102391 · November 2014

I love you July 2015!

I'm a June lurker too!

shelbutler · November 2014

I finally pooped after days of not being able to and holy crap I swear I went down two pants sizes. Hahaha sweet relief! Still got that bloat though but man I was wondering how much more my bod could handle the constipation!
