bump or fat?

[blue_kat]

yes its sad but I am guessing I am not the only one standing in front of the mirror at every opportunity and prodding my belly - looking and feeling for baby bump

How will I know when its baby bump rather than just fat? Sounds silly but my belly feels different now (but still flabby) and I am convinced I cant have put on THAT much weight just in that area..its definately not bloated! Is it wishful thinking?

I should mention I am not a skinny girl anyway

At 13 weeks your belly is definitly going through some baby related expansion! You're uterus is now a cm or so above your pubic bone and is now 2 almost 3 times it's original size! So apart of what you see is definilty baby bump! But also you're uterus in now taking up all the space in your pelvic cavity where other things like intestines used to hang out.... So now that those are being pushed up and out of the way that's adding to the belly as well.... Then there's just normal pregnancy water retention and delayed food movement which can add a few inches as well.

My tummy has felt flabby from the beginning and it's still flabby at the surface but it's defo jutting out in a different way now. Something from beneath is pushing it out. Will post a picture to show you. There's a marked difference between my 7 wk flabby profile and my 14 week flabby profile.

I think I was around 14 weeks when I started to notice the difference. But I will say it was still is she/isn't she up until around 17 weeks, then I totally popped at 18 and there was no hiding it

Bumps are not always hard though, they can be soft especially earlier on and if you have a little bit of "padding" like I did

Post a piccie and let us see

Im exactly the same, every opportunity I am prodding my belly to see if its changed, looking in the mirror to see if its starting to look like a bump etc lol. My stomach was never flat to begin with and is a bit fat really, thats where all my weight goes but im slim elsewhere sort of (im a UK size 12). When I wear certain clothes it does look very much like a bump but without its nothing yet. Its so frustrating lol.

Here are my pics comparing 7 weeks and 14 weeks. Feel flabby in both instances but 14 week bump definitely looks different. I'm sucking in my tummy as much as I can without giving myself a hernia!
