Blump Conversations?

in September 2016 Moms

Anyone else getting comments already about your blumps? It was funny at first but now makes my eye twitch some...

o:) At annual review with my boss, "omg I can't believe you're showing already! what are you 12 weeks now?" "no 8. it's just gas and poop* cue awkward silence. No hiding my body is up to something!

    No one really knows yet so they just think I am gaining weight. I keep seeing people eye me up and down. Not the best feeling in the world.

    yeah. I haven't had any conversations because we just started telling people, but the blump is definitely making itself known. I have very few things I can wear without feeling super self-conscious.

    @Sporty1216 Me too! Pants are my worst enemy right now. I bought a Bella band yesterday so hopefully that'll help. Until then, maxi skirts!

    None yet, which is really good because I'm only 6 weeks and we're not telling people until 12 weeks. I will TP anyone who mentions it before end of 1st tri.

    This is my first so I have never had a real bump and I am currently loving the blump, plus what a great excuse to wear leggings as pants!

    Ugh... I am sure people aren't noticing, but I certainly feel as if they can. I feel like this second time around I'm ahead by three weeks: didn't have the blump with my daughter until 10 weeks!

    I took my 1st pic tonight and had tons of "Are you sure it's not twins?" comments.

    This is technically the 4th time I've been pregnant so there's no hiding it. I'm 6 wks now and clothes are tight.  Hopefully I can hide behind sweaters and can make it to the 12 week mark without it being TOO obvious.

    My pants won't button anymore. I'm 8w3d and I definitely wasn't having this problem last week. The blump is growing!

    We went to the Keys last week, and I wore a bikini with my big bloated belly. Stay classy!!! We haven't told anyone yet (almost 10 weeks) and I'm sure everyone just thinks I am gaining weight.

    I have only gained 3lbs so far, but I am so bloated! I hate it! I am actually canceling dinner plans tonight with an old friend becuase i feel gross and bloated. I am almost 10 weeks and only have 3 weeks left before I can at least explain the situation!

    My boss works in a different office than I do. I haven't seen her since November and I won't see her again until April due to her insane schedule so I told her last week (@ 9 weeks) and she replied, "I was wondering if you were or if you just ate too much over the holidays." Gee thanks.

    Winter clothing hides it all, thank goodness. Plus, no one knows yet!

    I won't go away and it makes me nervous to be "showing" this early. No sucking it in either. I'm all for baby bumps and I am more than excited for it but please hold off a little bit. Let's say until like 15 weeks. This is #3 for us and I was in maternity clothes by 20 weeks with #2 so I'm sure this one with happen even sooner. Just not at 7 weeks.

    I got married in September and I was at a healthy weight. I started gaining weight through the holiday season though so my pants were already getting tight. Unfortunately I threw away all my fat pants last year after losing over 30 pounds. Well now most of that is back plus I have bloat. I just look really fat though and my clothes are getting really uncomfortable. I don't want to jump the gun and move to maternity clothes though until the 2nd trimester. I am counting on a few of my larger/more comfortable pants and lots of baggy sweaters. One of my friends called yesterday and asked me to be her accountability partner to lose weight. I don't know how to explain that I won't be working on losing weight this year.

    That is genius, @ElcaB (both the snack idea and the tunic/leggings idea).

    @ElcaB Where are you going to look for tunics? I feel like I saw them everywhere before I got pregnant and now I can't find any. I looked at Kohl's and Target so far.

    Since it's been a balmy winter, I've been wearing lighter clothes. If I wear a bulky sweater, I feel hot and nauseous and can't breathe. Today I wore a pencil skirt and it was the worst idea of my life. I felt like every student was looking at my frieking blump and I was so insecure all day. It's a catch 22 though because I feel if I wear leggings everyday they'll catch on. Arghhhh. They're so observant of things I don't want them to catch on to, yet I can post something on the board and they don't see it for weeks.

    Well I had lots of bloating at first but now being close to 7 weeks I am back down to normal size most of the time. This is a GREAT thing because I don't plan on telling my employer until the second trimester. If I feel a little thicker around the middle I just throw on a something to slim my midsection down. Don't need any nosey coworkers making comments.

    @izzetoot @noelani42 @camichael84 @lovelylauren86 @JennM205 @Katie8687 @ElcaB @RedMar When that girl finds out in a couple weeks that I'm pregnant I'm going to make sure I tell that story with her standing next to me - "So DH and I were out a few weeks ago, and I overheard this snotty, judgmental girl telling her friends that the weight on my stomach was unflattering and she didn't know how my husband could stand it. We got a big laugh out of it later, because we kept our secret. DH and I are excited to finally announce that this "unflattering" stomach of mine is growing a baby!!!! We are due September 13th!" Or something along those lines. I can't wait to see the look of embarrassment on her face when she realizes I heard her. 
    I hope it goes something like this...

    @Katie8687, I have an amazing second-hand store in my area that carries great gently used merch. I've found a few good ones at Old Navy & New York and Company --- check there! (I can't WAIT until maxi dress season.)

    @ElcaB Thank you! Today was my first day of feeling a tiny bit more "bumpy" v. "blumpy" so I'll check those stores out this weekend!
