When did your bump pop??

[cjwilson80]

Hello ladies!

I'm 13w 2d with my first LO. I still have no visible bump although none of my clothes fit me. I'm wondering when did your bumps pop with your first one? I want to have one so bad but don't know when to expect it. I'm not skinny so I figured it will be a while, but I'm not super heavy either, I guess I'm medium? Anyway, just curious.

Thanks!!

Heyy,

I am going on 18 weeks and the bump still hasn't popped

There's been slight and gradual changes to my belly and it's definitely a TINY bit more rounded but nothing that's noticable to other people. I have to tell people I'm pregnant, they can't tell otherwise. I'm fairly average sized btw, a UK size 10/12.. which is a size 8 in USA?? Not sure haha xx

Hi there! I am interested in the answers to this also. I am just over 14 weeks, and I am noticing that my uterus is rising, but it is still low. I can actually feel it now when I am standing up though, and that's pretty cool I am tall (5'8) and somewhat thin.

I know what you mean about not fitting into your clothes. I am going to go buy some regular shirts in a larger size this week (what with the bloat and all) because mine are just too tight now! I feel sloppy in them, and I am so not ready to venture into huge maternity shirts yet!

I'm wondering this too! I'm 18 weeks and although my stomach looks different, it's not a nice little bump

I'm 18 weeks and just look fat. I'm a big girl anyway so wasn't expecting a bump to pop as it would have to pop a hell of a long way to get past my blubber. The top part of my stomach (above belly button) is definitely bigger - certainly more so at the end of the day. The lower part doesn't feel too much different but I have noticed its getting a little bit harder and rounder.

Thanks ladies, I'm a US size 10/12 (before I was pregnant). I do have some maternity pants but that's because my other jeans and pants are too tight and uncomfortable. A girl I went to high school with is 1 week further along than I am, she is 14 weeks and has a nice big bump already. So jealous...

i am 20 weeks and although i have a different looking belly, and gained 20 lbs i can still wear my normal looking clothes and it just looks like i ate one to many cheeseburgers

Hmm well it kind of happened in stages. Like it popped out a bit around 17 weeks and people that knew me could see a tiny bump and then around 22 weeks it popped out quite a lot more to the point where strangers could take an educated guess. Then at 25/26 weeks it went from looking a bit pregnant to looking heavily pregnant.

I think I started to noticeably show around 14/15 weeks. Then this past week (19) I seem to have popped! It's my first but I do have a really short torso I heard that can sometimes cause you to show earlier.

i agree with above..
it happens in stages. i popped alittle around 18weeks, and around 20 weeks i was definitely noticeable.. people were already askn me how far along i was. and basically from 20 weeks on i have had steady growth til now.

Theres a huge difference between 22 and 23 weeks in me.

I started to pop just over this past weekend...I'm now 25 weeks and 2 days. But, I'm obese/overweight at 210 pounds. I still don't think strangers really wonder if I'm pregnant, but probably just assume I'm fat and looking fatter! People who know me can kinda tell, though.

I'm 14+3 and no pop yet- I can see it may happen soon, I was hoping I could hide it for months but because I wear fitted clothes I think at 16 weeks it will be more obvious xx

21 weeks and 5 days it popped right out overnight

 

[prdlyexpectng]

my bump popped at 23 weeks. literally before that u could still see my ribcage cause im so skinny lol

 

[jess181989]

I'm 19 weeks and my bump has really popped out noticeably in the last week or so. I'm a big girl, so I thought it would be much later than this- but obviously not! xx

 

[mspotter]

I'm just starting to get a bit of a round belly now but i wouldn't say its 'popped' yet, i hope it does soon because my normal clothes are getting a bit tight and i can't really fit in maternity stuff yet!
xx

With my first baby I dont think I ever 'popped' it was very gradual from around 22wks onwards. I am slim uk size 8/10 so thought I would show much earlier!!

This second baby I would say I did 'pop' at 20wks

I'm almost 16 weeks and definitely have a little bump but don't think I've "popped" yet. How do you know if you have? Can you feel it or does it just look a lot different?

 

[fides]

i'm 26 weeks, and i don't think it has popped, but i think it has begun to look like a baby bump during the past week or so. Before that, i just looked heavy.
