I'm not really a poster but I'm curious. I'm 17 weeks pregnant tomorrow and I'm back to pre pregnancy weight after losing a bit of muscle I'm guessing... I am a good bit thicker But still no bump. I did start off with abs and some intense fitness training about 5-6 days a week prior to pregnancy. Haven't really been active since I found out I was pregnant tho. Dr isn't concerned but I'm not one for suprises lol. I do feel a bit insecure being just fatter without a bump because I'm known for being a workout freak. I'm predicting my abs won't let lose until much later but when did u guys start showing???? 

Re: When did u start showing?

  • You're probably going to be met with some resistance with this question and have several different answers. Everyone is different. If your doc isn't worried, then you shouldn't either. You can also check out ANY of the HDBD threads and find some answers there.

  • To answer you question, I haven't really started showing yet. I have a little bump but it's not really noticeable to others yet. If your doctor isn't worried, I wouldn't be either. And I definitely wouldn't have made a whole post about it.

    Lol, u guys!

    Everyone is different. It depends on your build, body type, if you've had prior children, your growing baby, and probably shit dumb luck. Figure anywhere from 13-20 weeks.

    Just asking personally not in general... I could search online for a general answer to this...Because everyone is different I am asking for personal experience 
  • Not quite there yet but I'm looking forward to getting big enough to more effectively practice a "there's nothing wrong with showing early" dance!

    And petty is petty no matter how u look at it so Imma call it like it is. There are thousands of post about showing. I'm asking for mothers having kids around the same time as mine... I really don't see the problem with this question besides the fact that one of u guys don't like it and u must defend ur leaders... Wats wrong with having a bump?!
  • @namp1 I think the best place to find this answer is to scroll through the HDBD thread. You could actually see how people are showing right now. No need to get your panties in a bunch that people are annoyed by your question.

  • I'm mostly just confused as to why she's still here?

    This is a community sweetheart. We give and receive support. We don't own the boards, but we've spent months with each other. You just want an answer to one question... that's been answered before. But why should we even bother if you're not going to take the time to get to know the board or stick around to return the favor to us? You can get as worked up as you want, but it's just going to keep receiving the same type of treatment. 

    And, as I said before, you flipped out before anything flip worthy had even happened. In fact, you got helpful responses. You just didn't like that they all weren't equally helpful. This is obviously not the board for you. So you might want to quit wasting your time and go try BabyCenter or whatever it's called.

  • Now that I've gotten all that out of my system, I'm bored and I'd like to draw this out as much as possible so I've decided I'll play. 

    Idk when I started showing this time. But I do know that it was sooner than I started showing last time. I think last time it was like 25 weeks-ish, earlier if I was wearing something tight. This time it was probably more like 19 weeks, but yesterday was the first time a total stranger said something about my belly at work, and I'm 21 weeks today.

    I've had the same concerns! It's nice to be able to look at the HDBD boards (you can  look at other birth months too), and see that everyone is different! I am almost 21 weeks and I have a very small bump that appeared last week. I had two miscarriages prior to this pregnancy, so needless to say, it's been nerve-racking that I'm only seeing a little progress as far as the bump goes! My Dr reassured me that for a FTM and my size/shape, I might not have a obvious bump until 21-22 weeks. Trying to wait patiently! If you're concerned, talk to your doctor - they can tell you what's normal for you! Hope this helps! :smile: 
  • maybe read the post that says READ ME FIRST. maybe then you'd see some of the etiquette with the board. 

    then scroll down and see the magnifying glass? that means look for something. type in "showing". you could've had answers without even posting this.

  • @uponastar16 clearly I'm stealing that gif 
  • blaf322blaf322 member
    Bahahaha.... I passed by this post so many times because I KNEW it would annoy the shit out of me...but I'm so glad I got bored and read through tonight! This whole thread was wonderfully hilarious. And yes... The grammar!!!
  • OP, I think what got me was that literally one? maybe two? weeks ago, someone posted basically this exact same question. There were some who didn't respond positively to it, but there were a good many who did give genuine answers. (Including myself.) So, you wouldn't have even had to exert yourself by scrolling through the HDBD posts...you could have just searched and read that thread and gotten all the reassurance/personal experience you wanted. 
    Nice abs, though! Good job!  ;)

  • I have a new gif for the next time this happens. I can't wait. LOL. (I need some excitement IRL$ 
  • Yes @mrskratt I was going to say the same thing.  Please people for the love of god, is it that much harder to type out 'what' than 'wat'???  Gross.

  • another random thought, she's saying how everyone's a "grown up" and attaching herself....I'm pretty sure if I used the spellings she does in my "grown up" life I would never hear the end of it 
  • Now, this is a story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I'd like to take a minute
    Just sit right there
    I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

    In west Philadelphia born and raised
    On the playground was where I spent most of my days
    Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
    And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys who were up to no good
    Started making trouble in my neighborhood
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air'

    I begged and pleaded with her day after day
    But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
    She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
    I put my Walkman on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.

    First class, yo this is bad
    Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass.
    Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
    Hmm this might be alright.

    But wait I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
    Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
    I don't think so
    I'll see when I get there
    I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air

    Well, the plane landed and when I came out
    There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
    I ain't trying to get arrested yet
    I just got here
    I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared

    I whistled for a cab and when it came near
    The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
    If anything I could say that this cab was rare
    But I thought 'Nah, forget it' - 'Yo, home to Bel-Air'

    I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
    And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo home smell ya later'
    I looked at my kingdom
    I was finally there
    To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel-Air
