Baby Bump?

oldmom5oldmom5 member
in April 2023 Moms
This is my 4th pregnancy. My last pregnancy was in 2009 though. I’m 9 weeks. I feel like I’m huge already. Anyone else? We haven’t told anyone yet but I can’t physically hid it much longer.

    @oldmom5 same here! 2nd pregnancy for me but at only 10 weeks I feel like I look as big as I did at 16 weeks with my 1st! I'm already wearing maternity pants since my regular high-waisted jeans are a no go

    My jeans are all fitting a bit snug too. I’m not looking forward to maternity  jeans, I was never able to find any I liked.

    I have decided that what I previously thought was my burrito baby, is now definitely a legit bump... if only from displaced internal organs. It's cute as heck.

    @acleverusername same, and it looks about the same size as when I was a month further along last time.

    And @oldmom5, I am going to completely not wear mat jeans. Leggings, dresses and loose pants only. I bought some skinny jeans on sale (sue me, Gen Z) and although they were stretchy and technically fit, I couldn’t pull them over my feet because the leg hole wasn’t stretchy! Wtf! If they barely fit over my feet now, there’s no way they’ll fit over third tri cankles. What a waste of money.

    @iiirene good idea!

    Also, heads up: Aerie is having a 40% sale off bras currently, it includes nursing bras and camis. I haven’t tried them but a friend tipped me off and said they’re great, so I think I’ll pick some up.

    @nsk489 same, never found a nursing bra I loved! The ones I have are pretty tired looking so I definitely need a refresh.

    I’m 10 weeks, almost 11 with my first and I definitely have a bump. Bloating, displaces organs or whatever it’s very clear already haha. I can’t wear my jeans and my stretchy work pants are not going to last super long.

    Hi ladies! I'm new to this group ! 9 weeks and 5 days and I feel HUGE already! This is my 2nd pregnancy but with the first one I miscarried, so I feel like I shouldn't be this big yet!

    I have been losing weight due to nausea, but my pants don’t fit comfortably anymore. Definitely had to buy leggings because I didn’t own any. I’m overweight to begin with so I can still hide it, but it’s definitely a baby bump!

    Since some of you are already sporting baby bumps, when did we want to start HDBD?! Week 1 ladies are just about 2nd trimester already 😱

    My bump is completely gone since I’ve barely eaten for days, confirming my suspicions that it was mostly bloat 😅 

    I think we started around the end of first tri/beginning of second in my previous bmb! I didn’t participate for a bit because I was due at the end of the month that time, but we could probably start next week? Or the week after?

    @etnyah I think my last group started after the first week hit 2nd trimester. I didn't participate for a bit either bc as a somewhat petite FTM I looked like I had just eaten too many Thanksgiving leftovers at 16/17 weeks pregnant 🤣 I'm assuming I'll pop a little earlier this time but there's still not much going on down there 😆

    @nsk489 lolll that describes me too. I’m sure my bloat baby will reappear once my appetite returns, but it still really just looks like I went too hard on Oktoberfest. 

    I think once first week hits second tri is a good starting point!
