I won't complain because I'm thrilled to be pregnant but I can't wait until this turns into a real bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34938 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:03:50 +0000 Ree723 34938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really had the first trimester bloat except very occasionally in the evenings, my tummy would bloat out a bit. Now at 13 weeks, my tummy is flat in the mornings and then there is a definite bump by late afternoon or evening - I can't figure out if it's bloat or bump! I'm pretty tall (5'8) but I literally have no torso; I've heard that can cause a bump to pop out sooner but I just don't know yet whether it's baby or bloat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34932 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:48:01 +0000 Mrs. Oyster 34932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only 6 weeks and I swear that I have either a little bump or a large bloat haha! I'm pretty tiny, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I was cramping a lot a week ago, so I thought that contributed to the bloat, but that's pretty much gone away, so I'm not sure about the little bump now. It's definitely not my normal tummy though, or something I can suck in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34917 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:12:46 +0000 HabesBabe 34917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have much of a bloat or baby bump (I'm 11 weeks now)-- just your old fashioned pre-baby fatness bump. WAH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34907 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 18:03:45 +0000 MegWag 34907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't really notice a bloat bump at all, but I lost weight during my first trimester so I ended it looking basically the same as I started it- I'd just swapped fat for baby (not a bad deal!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34807 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 15:34:03 +0000 heffalump 34807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But I don't think it was a bloat bump for me... I think it was an I'm eating too much bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34780 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:42:58 +0000 mediagirl 34780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, it moved around a lot but I'm not sure the bloat ever really went away. That sounds weird, right? Well, I would be bloated and then the bloat would go down, but I would start puffing out a bit higher than where the bloat was. It's definitely been interesting watching my belly grow and shrink and start taking different shapes than I'm used to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34772 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:30:26 +0000 yoursilverlining 34772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ditto what Winniebee said for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34767 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:21:17 +0000 winniebee 34767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I started having bloat/ a tummy at 7 weeks and it got progressively worse. At 12 weeks though it started not being as round on top and was more of a low bump. At 13 weeks there was no denying the bump and at 16 weeks I'm quite noticeably pregnant. But I'm really short and petite and have a short torso so not sure if that made a difference. I wish we could post pics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-bloat-bump-go-down-before-your-baby-bump#post-34763 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 14:19:17 +0000 MamaLove 34763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and it seems like my tummy has gone down a bit. I think that up until now, it has been mostly bloat-- not a baby bump. And (TMI ahead!) I actually had an upset stomach 2 nights ago and whereas I have been constipated this entire pregnancy, 2 nights ago I sort of emptied out. </p> <p>So now I feel like my *bump* (what I think was bloat) is gone a bit-- I'm not sure if it's from my tummy troubles.</p> <p>Did your bloat tend to go away at the end of your first trimester before you got your baby bump? </p>
