    No bumps yet, but maybe we could post "before" pictures? Of course, I expect we'll all be "befores" for quite some time unless the weight gain and bloat goes wild!

    No bump here, I have a little belly fat to begin with so until I am a little more 'established' it probably won't be evident!

    You would be surprised, especially for STMs!

    So, I'm trying to figure out your point, @tigerfish227? 

    Are you saying that women don't have any noticeable changes prior to 12 weeks of pregnancy?  I would beg to differ.

    The term "showing" means that you can see the bump caused by the uterus and the baby. I'm not saying there are no changes that happen to your body. I'm saying that those changes are related to bloating and weight gain, not your "baby bump". @lalala2004 is correct that none of us have a "bump" yet. Having a prior pregnancy doesn't make your uterus magically expand to the size of a grapefruit and push out your belly at less than 6 weeks(which is all the farther along any of us are).


    And I said you would be surprised with how quickly the weight gain and bloat can go wild.  Not that anyone's uturus was going to expand like crazy.  Am I wrong?  Do people not gain weight or bloat during the first trimester? 

    It's also pretty well documented that second time moms do tend to show a bit sooner than first.  I can google and find you some sources, they will be about as legit as you citing thebump.com.

    Right.  Because you're all scientists.  I didn't realize.

     

    I didn't say everyone's uterus was popping out of their stomach.  I said that people gain weight and blow.  Am I talking to walls here?

    You're missing my point.  I know it's science.  I know it's not my uterus that is popping out of my stomach at 6 or 8 weeks pregnant.

     

    I'm saying that I don't think many women care if it's bloat or not, and still want to take and share fun pictures.  It's not a big deal.  No harm, no foul.  If it offends you, you don't even have to look!  That is the beauty of it.

     

    Please see my previous post.  I don't think I can repeat myself again.  You, however, can continue repeating yourself if you would like.

    Clearly the hormones are all on the rise. Forgive me for wanting to embrace and enjoy every last moment of my last pregnancy no matter how absurd. I'm aware it's not a true "bump" at this point, but where is the harm? How does it hurt those whom haven't got a bfp yet? They don't have to open this thread! Nor did anyone who felt it necessary to be nasty or post *normal pregnancy quotes from a website*

    I'm not normal. My uterus is flipped completely anterior. No, not tilted, but flipped. When I'm 12 weeks pregnant, I look 20. At 15 weeks, I can lie down and I literally look like I have a bowling ball in my stomach.

    Don't stomp on the fun of others because of your bad day. Go yell at your husband. :-q

    Dude, my last BMB called it Hump Day Blump Day for the first trimester.  People still take their little weekly photos at 6, 8 and even 12 weeks to show their "progress".  It's harmless.  No one is saying their not bloated.  I'm saying you all need to calm your tits over this crap.

    Looks like the answer to your original question is no, it shouldn't be. And let's also not go about telling people to calm their tits... you're bordering hindering my enjoyment of this site.

    @lest12 I love Belle and your gif is great. Also, good luck this cycle. I meant no offense by using the term hormones. I was simply using an expression in jest to convey my own opinion of how absurd *I* think some of the responses are. 

    To any and everyone -- Hormones or having a bad day or just wanting to throw in some $.02, it really is silly to loose the panty twisting over something so unimportant. I'm very opinionated and fact-driven, but I'll save that for the posts that tell us we're going to hell for circumcising our sons or we're lazy twats for bottle-feeding or idiots for having elective c-sections. I'm really not interested in investing my emotions or energy over an argument that really shouldn't be an argument. I'm not naive, nor am I blind to how the world works, but I am a kind person and genuinely enjoy the good in people and it truly just ticked me off to check my post this morning only to find that people were not being kind on a post where opinions or facts weren't necessary for the topic. It's as simple as not opening the post or reading past the first comment if you don't like the topic.

    A) You can't tell folks how you think they should respond to any post. Folks are entitled to their opinion, even if you don't think the way they express it is "kind". FTR, I don't believe anything I've said is unkind. Its just factual. I didn't insult anyone's intelligence or personally attack anyone. That would be unkind. I simply said that anyone calling a 6-week belly shot a "bump" is not informed and its inaccurate. That's not a crime.

    B.) @UOLONE : The Belle GIF is in my signature.

    C.) Yet here you are investing a whole paragraph-- It really shouldn't be an argument . because its not biologically or anatomically a baby bump YET. Why aren't opinions and facts necessary when discussing appropriate gestational size and age (to produce a bump). I mean, theoretically opinions and facts are NEVER necessary... as long as we are kind? What kind of logic is that?

    @lest12 I think the point is that just because someone wants to call their bloated belly a baby bump doesn't make it so. Is it caused by your pregnancy? Probably. But that still doesn't make it a baby bump. No one was getting angry about it. They were just pointing out fact. There are sometimes exceptions to this like one of the PPs but the vast majority of women do not show until after the 1st trimester is over.

    I like science and fact over delusion and opinion any day.
