Is anyone showing yet?

skatie8191 · December 2014

Calling all august mommies...
I'm curious if anyone is showing AND OR felt movements???

I have a hard lower belly that's poking out a bit, and yesterday I kinda pressed on it and I felt these light little taps. My grandmother said she could feel movement very very early with both of her children.

I'm just excited and want to rule out gas and bloating lol!!!

Yep just bloat and gas right now.

Huey9909 · December 2014

I felt my first at 16w and 2nd at 15w. I'm guessing this one will be around then too

According to this picture your 1/2 inch baby is still hiding behind all of your pubic hair.

MrsSnyder124 · December 2014

Too early . Bloating and gas . Nothing cute yet dear.

cubberss · December 2014

Nope.

My hubby (and others) keep talking about my baby bump and I keep telling them I'm just bloated. They think I'm crazy or self conscious. Derp. I'm just trying to educate them!

I'm normally thin so any sign of bloat or weight gain looks like a baby bump.

laurasuzanne2006 · December 2014

Nope. Way too early for movement. Just gas

svenskalamb13 · December 2014

please stop this. Attention FTM!!! You ARE NOT showing! You ARE NOT feeling movement! You supposed 'baby' is all gas right now! Do not start a thread like this until 12 weeks, and don't even talk about movement until AT LEAST 17-24 weeks. Seriously, you are becoming severely ridiculous.

mrssmhs · December 2014

I'm showing that tyre around my waist that I used to be able to hide with clever clothing - am so bloated now that there is no hiding anything!!! And worst part is that when some people find out in pregnant they feel the need to rub my belly and say things like, "oh how exciting!" NOT exciting when you are rubbing my flabby tummy thank you very much!!!

Hey, not all FTM's are clueless. I'm sure there are plenty of us here that know you can't feel movement when the baby is the side of a seed or get a stomach from it.

I am thankful for those with common sense.

Almost seven weeks here & I keep telling DH I am showing the food baby I acquired over the past few days of eating at holiday parties! Hahaha

I agree with @debking‌ But really, I am just as excited! And I'm constantly holding my belly (I've always had a small pooch) and people look at me weird. Maybe, yes, it is because I am a FTM, but in regards to @svenskalamb13‌, dude, don't be so mean and rain on her parade! Pregnancy is exciting, even in the first trimester where all we have is a bloated belly. I think everyone can agree that even though it's not possible yet, it's still really exciting and a happy time, for most. So let's try to all be nice? Unwarranted rudeness will just stressed people, and yourself, out.

kcebeling · December 2014

This argumentative tone sounds so familiar. Has @denisajacob‌ returned with a new screen name?! Dun-dun-dun! The saga continues...!

This reply is to everyone who is posting negative responses: Why the need to respond so rudely??? She simply asked a question & even pointed out that it could be gas. Perhaps this is her 1st pregnancy & honestly didn't know. This should be a place where we can feel free to ask questions of one another, w/o fear of being chastised if we ask the wrong question. If you can't be cordial in your responses or questions, please do not chime in. In reply to Skatie, I agree they are right, you shouldn't be feeling baby yet, he/she is way too small. But I will tell you this is my 2nd pregnancy & I feel more than I did on the 1st go-round, so I can see how it would make you wonder. I too am "showing" already, depending on your definition of "showing." I am pretty petite, so even though it's small, I've expanded about an inch. And before all the haters out there say "not so", please go back and read the article from last week that mentioned how the uterus has already doubled in size. On a small person, I assure you, it can be seen. Maybe not through clothes, but definitely without.

I just want to chime in because you told me not to. Anyone who has taken time to read previous posts over the last month, or the "Read This First" post - would know not to waste board space with this nonsense.

You're clearly looking at what you want to, and not the facts. But, that's cool...

Yes, your ute has expanded...to like...an couple inches at best.

But, yes, please, continue to believe that you are showing - in fact, tell your doctor, so they can squeeeee with you. But don't be offended if your doctor suggests you let one rip or take a large shit.

@debking‌, lurk more.

Dajart4 · December 2014

I know I'm a FTM but I thought every pregnancy was different. Another factor is that it's so difficult to pin point contriception how could one say for sure weather it's bloat or not. Maybe they are further along then they think. Why would the bump suggest "pulling out fat pants" if not would be able to see some slightly noticeable growth. Don't be rude people. Everybody's pregnancy is different. The week by week indications are suggestions or typical symptoms NOT facts. The uterus moves about the pelvic cavity at about 12 weeks, not exactly on day 83 @11:59pm.

I stopped reading when I got to "contriception"

Okay - anything else you'd like for me to do on the interwebz, your majesty?

skatie8191 · December 2014

Well it's my first.......

Ktrue85 · December 2014

I felt movement today guise!!!

Then I pooped.

skatie8191 · December 2014

@svenskalamb13‌ well it was totally innocent of me to ask. I didn't know it would be so annoying.
And as far as "becoming ridiculous" ... This is my first post.
I believe it's okay to be excited since it's my FIRST PREGNANCY.

Thanks for the support fellow mom!
NOT

That excuse just doesn't do it for me. This is my first, too. Don't blame it on being your first. Blame it on the fact that you did not do adequate research - you didn't read the posted threads that specifically state that your little bean is basically behind your pubic hair - basically, you just didn't know.

I'll throw you this bone - yes, with this being your first you're not going to automatically know - I didn't automatically know, either. But that doesn't excuse you from trying to figure it out/learning/reading/researching/understanding how your body works/changes during pregnancy.

Honestly, it's not a big deal. You didn't know, and now you do. Ta-da. And, now that you do know, do you see why your question seems silly and ridiculous to others?

What support were you seeking, exactly? The kind that looks like smoke being blown up your ass? Okay then.

You're totally showing and that baby is kicking so hard it's in its second year of tap dance!

NOT.

Okay, OP.

You're right. You're totally showing and your kid is totally giving you movements, look...

Is that better, OP?

It's not an excuse. The thing is, is I have done research and I guess if I didn't ask it would be even more "stupid" to go on thinking I had a tiny bump. I did ask if it was bloat and gas... It wasn't just some idiotic question.

And whoopdie doo for the internet, since it makes everyone so educated on their pregnancy. I guess eighty percent of these people need to get off the internet and go to med school, since everyone retains so much info.

I've been doing a lot of research on my body and pregnancy... And one of the reasons I felt I could be showing is because in some of my research it did say the uterus was the size of a grapefruit and some smaller frames like myself, can show as early as six weeks bc of the uterus.

I know how big the baby is
