Showing?

BlessedWBabyinTX · October 2015

Those of you who have already had a little one, when did you start showing on your 2nd, 4th, 5th, etc pregnancy? I'm thinking I've been gaining a tad too much weight here lately lol! It can't be possible to show after 6 weeks already...... right??

sorarose · October 2015

You're likely just bloated. Although we will show earlier, not this early!

mkemommy · October 2015

I second that it is bloat...I'm feeling it too (especially after not snacking and eating a larger meal). This is my first so I have no idea when I'll show but I'm short (5'5" on a good day) with a short torso if that makes a difference.

NicknShan · October 2015

That is likely just your lunch.

A lot of my second timer friends said around 12 weeks they were starting to pop - bump not bloat.

losersaidwhat · October 2015

I'm rocking a bloat bump for sure and am on #4. It may not be a baby taking up all that space yet but I do look pregnant and it's weird.

candicek15 · October 2015

I believe the technical term for this is a "blump" lol

CupcakesRamazing · October 2015

Yeah no. They only thing showing this those tacos you had for lunch.

I didn't show with my first until 18 weeks

jerseybroadwaybaby · October 2015

Yeah bloat! Someone I know posted all over FB at 4.5 weeks she was showing. She took bump picture and everything

Mr0616 · October 2015

Ugh totally have the bloat going on too.

@mkemommy I'm 5'4 on a good day and and extremely short torso as well. This is going to be interesting to see how my body handles a bump.

FutureMrsCAF · October 2015

Definitely sporting a blump over here.

Gwyneddlesliegrace · October 2015

Yeah baby number 4 and bloat. I'm in maternity pants by week 10.

mrsschmity · October 2015

@mkemommy and @KOR121 I'm 5'6 and have a short torso as well...I'll be curious to see what happens with my body. I've heard women with short torsos tend to show more early on? Who knows.

mkemommy · October 2015

Question for all of you ladies...does your husband's height have anything to do with the size of your bump? Like I said, I'm fairly short with a short torso....H is 6'3" on a bad day. I have a feeling I'm going to be a walking walrus by the end of this.

satcher08 · October 2015

I've definitely got some bloat going on but it's probably not as noticeable to other people as it is to me. With my first I seriously didn't even look pregnant until 8 months so I'm curious to see how my body handles it this time around.

No. It has to do with your uterus and how big baby is and your body shape.

HA HA blump love it!!!

cluelesssm · October 2015

I am 5 ft exactly, and i started to show around month 4 for both my first and second pregnancies.

Mr0616 · October 2015

@mkemommy yeah it should just depend on size of baby. Which I guess is affected by size of both parents? #idontknowanything #notadoctor

Once again, I'm in the same boat as you. DH Is 6'4.

Regardless of size, I'll be happy with healthy baby. But it still kind of freaks me out of having a big baby!

No Longer ERL · October 2015

I showed about 11 weeks last time. I am tall and plus size so my fluff converts to bump quickly.
I am feeling bloated already! Hate the blump

mamadown · October 2015

First pregnancy I had an of dial bump(though small) at 18 weeks, but I hid my pregnancy at work until I was about 28 weeks! Second babe I was in maternity pants at 10 weeks.

Got it. Very helpful, thanks! I still think I'll be a walking walrus by the end but I could care less if I'm a healthy walking walrus with a healthy lil walrus.

Same here about being happy with a healthy baby but freaking out over a lil giant.

sthomas1222 · October 2015

A lot of when you show has to do with how you carry. I have a tiny lady I work with who is 6 months and finally starting to show. Baby's size, even placenta placement can make a huge difference.

adiaz132003 · October 2015

I know that before getting pregnant I'd get so bloated after meals that I would unbutton my pants and if I was wearing a tight shirt people would ask when I was due.... I think because I'm small and normally have a flat tummy that the second I get a little bloat my belly stuck straight out and looks like a bump. Of course I don't mind this now cause I'm actually pregnant and don't mind looking it.

I'm already using a rubber band to help my pants out.

This bloat is unreal. I'm so used to it going away in 24hours after a fatty meal!

Ugh right?! Mine is ok when I first wake up but as soon as I eat a couple crackers... Boom or should I say BLUMP!!!

sorarose · October 2015

I'm almost 5'6 with a very long torso, and I think that kept me not looking too large most of my pregnancy. However, I have a pic of myself at Week 14 with a tiny bump, and I remember rocking jeans with an elastic waist band around 12 weeks. (or maybe earlier, I can't remember). The blump was intense.

VikingGirl12 · October 2015

With my first I had a decent bump at 14 weeks. He was (and still is) a freaking giant though... I expect I'll have a little bump by 10-12 weeks.

cattuccino · October 2015

I barely showed by 20 weeks last time. DD was all shoved in my pelvis and rib cage. I remember being a month out and people assuming I had ages to go.
I have no idea how this one will turn out...though I'm excited for maternity pants - so comfy

Right? I don't understand why pants are even created with buttons and zippers.

FutureMrsCAF · October 2015

I'm 5' 10" but I feel like I showed fairly early considering my height (can't remember when I started showing exactly, but I know I was shopping for maternity clothes by the end of 1st tri) I was unbelievably huge by the end, but I attribute that to DD presenting breech. She was seriously sitting upright in there, like my pelvis was a frickin bean bag chair. Please God don't let that happen again, the lightning crotch was unreal.

tjenkins528 · October 2015

Definitely sporting the blump already. I started showing around 14 weeks with DS. I think I notice the blump more than people around me who don't know. They probably think I just ate too much

Omg this reminded me of a girl who worked with us a few months back who said "OMG HES KICKING!!".... She was 10 weeks...

scotten · October 2015

I'm 5'3, and my bump popped out overnight around 15 weeks with my first. I was the definition of "walking walrus" by the time I gave birth! My husband is 6'4", and our daughter was 22 1/4 inches - so she for sure got daddy's height. I'm guessing it'll be the same thing this go around!

Oh, and count me in on the bloat. Holy. Crap.

How you managed to not laugh out loud in her face is beyond me. I would vacillate between this...

And this...

Can't decide which one I would land on though.

GinnyJ2012 · October 2015

I''m rockin a blump right now. With my first I gained a lot of weight fast, and was very bloated so I went into maternity pants around 8 or 9 weeks, but didn't really show until closer to 16. I started showing around 16 weeks with DS2 also.
