I feel like I grew a lot very suddenly between 23-24 weeks -- like a baby growth spurt or something. At that point I was definitively pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1354142 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:36:12 +0000 nana87 1354142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so far I feel like it's been really gradual. I'm about 27 weeks and I think it's obvious--it's round and bumpy-- but it still isn't huge, like my boobs (d cup) might still stick out a bit more than my bump does </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1354064 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:16:30 +0000 Springtime 1354064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first I feel like I popped around 18-19 weeks. With my second it wasn't until the end of 2nd trimester when I popped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1353994 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:51:05 +0000 MapleMoose 1353994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I popped at 15 weeks. The bump was suddenly there day and night and showed under clothing. And people noticed enough to comment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1353930 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 15:34:04 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1353930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm just 14 weeks and feel like at 13 i had a little pop but can't wait for a big one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350193 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:35:25 +0000 HLK208 1350193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I popped at 20-22 weeks with my first. It's when I got the most stretch marks :( but I did have a basketball belly. With my second, I had a soft bump (as in it was squishy so I felt like it wasn't all baby) by 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350192 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:35:22 +0000 Mamasig 1350192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like it has grown steadily, but there have been a couple of times where it seems to have gotten larger overnight. Baby growth spurt, I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350161 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:29:48 +0000 MrsF 1350161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Same. It seemed gradual to me, but others definitely seemed to think it was sudden. </p> <p>I wear scrubs at work so coworkers noticed a lot later than others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350158 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:29:11 +0000 indi 1350158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I showed pretty early, but there were definitely times people would say I "popped." I wonder if that's more of a statement that other folks make since they don't see your belly all, day every day like you do.</p> <p>Although I don't know if anyone can see it, I'm pretty sure LO gained at least a pound overnight during week 34, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350151 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:27:18 +0000 MsLipGloss 1350151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have an obvious belly until 26/27 weeks. To me, my belly grew gradually (even though it was really small), but to others, I *popped*. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350149 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:27:00 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1350149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine did at about 18 weeks! My 17 week bump picture you can barely see it.. by 18 weeks it's huge! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350140 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:24:52 +0000 spaniellove 1350140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the person, but it happened to me at 17 weeks. My bump isn't all perfect and round, but it definitely became a bump almost overnight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350135 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:23:42 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1350135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 15 weeks and just feel fat hahaha :-( DH says he can see a little bump now though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350129 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:22:38 +0000 Mae 1350129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine has grown slow and steady. I'm 24 weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-true-your-bump-suddenly-pops#post-1350108 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:16:15 +0000 MK0180 1350108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious to know if your bump suddenly appears out of nowhere and what week were you? Thank you :) I'm 15 weeks and have a lil' bump right now. </p>
