No, I'm on my third and already had a permanent blump, haha. In my experience, people don't pay attention to your stomach area as much as we think they do.

@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.
***TW - Loss Mentioned*** Well, now she will feel double as bad when we announce Sunday at the Super Bowl get together that we miscarried this weekend. Small solace, I guess?

So sorry to hear this!
I think I'm the only one who notices my blump. I told DH last night to look at my cute little blump and he said I don't have one.
@FireInWonderland I would look straight at her bitch face too and hope she feels shame with the power of a thousand burning suns. But really, I hope you take some time for yourself and deal with it on your own timeline and terms. I'll be praying and thinking of you!
Like I told izze in my loss thread - the look on that girl's face and the look of absolute disgust on her friend's face when she looked over at her were so satisfying.
As for me I drank champagne and we had a "funeral" for baby - DH and I released a balloon with love and well wishes for baby - and I'm going to try to use this time to focus on my body and on school. I got off the nursing track and signed up to take the MCAT - I want to be an RE. I want to help moms like me more than I could as a nurse. Thanks for the support, ladies. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have it on my side that I put on 7 pounds over the holidays, or so I thought. I saw my regular doctor (internal medicine) last week and told her I'm pregnant, and she looked at my stomach and asked how far along. Her response when I saw about 7/8 weeks was irritating- she looked shocked! And then, when she was checking my heart, she mentioned maybe my "bump" was making me uncomfortable- more like blump sweetheart, it's mostly poop and gas, but I'm also "obese"- way to make a girl feel good about herself. Especially because even with gaining the 7 pounds since before Christmas, I'm still 25 pounds lighter than I was when I first started seeing her. Cut us some freaking slack! UGH!
@FireInWonderland OMG I would have lost my mind on that person! How insanely awful and rude!!! People SUCK! Wait till they find out what's up, they will feel like real assholes!
Sorry, new to these boards......what's a "blump" I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure I'm stating to rock one. One of the best parts about being a nurse.......elastic waist band scrub pants!!
@fkennard not quite a "bump" because it's mainly bloat. Combo of the 2 names since you are starting to show, but it's mainly gas/fluid and random poundage.

Thank you!! And in that case, yup! Definitely rocking a "blump"
