Popping?

[whoops]

I haven't 'popped' yet, and I know there's been a ton of threads already about this, but I'm wondering when other people here did. If they did.

And also - did you notice an increase in stretching pains beforehand? Or any other differences? The very top of my uterus feels almost bruised, as if I've banged into something, so I'm wondering if it's about to happen.

I seemed to of popped out a bit more, didnt recognise any stretching pains (extra ones anyway) but did have a funny feeling on my bellybutton lol.

I had really bad stretching pains right before i "popped". Also had the bruising feeling i thought my belly was too full

Silly question but what is 'popping'? It sounds a little painful...

It's when your bump kind of pops out - loads of people say they wake up one morning with a proper little baby bump that wasn't there when they went to sleep the night before.

mine belly button popped around 25 weeks.
it was feelin very sore nd bruised nd i actually felt it pop out.
it made me jump out of my seat!!
i think baby put too much pressure on it (probably kicked it!)... nd it couldn't take it anymore.
was sore for a while.

I'm still waiting for this "pop" I keep hearing about lol!

I just slowly and gradually get a little bigger every few weeks.

I haven't popped yet, not sure I will. I've been getting lots of stretching pains but my bump seems to be just growing gradually

My bump seems to be growing big fast but not actually popped as such. I've only had very slight pains so far with the growth as well. Not sure whether due to my high pain threshold or just that the real stretchy pains haven't started yet. Remains to be seen!

hi girls! popping over from 3rd tri...hehehe popping...ok sorry!
anywho, i never really "popped". i just gradually got bigger fast! i mean at 20 weeks i looked like i was about 7 months pregnant. i've FINALLY slowed down at 8 months but i'm huuuge! if you want a big bump, eat alot. lol. that's what i did. but i don't really advise it cause i've gained too much weight :/ and i still have 7 weeks left!
