I'm tall and thin, but have no torso, so I really thought I would show early...but nope. I was so excited once I finally started showing! Really curious to see what happens next time around..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-823447 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 01:21:25 +0000 MrsScallop 823447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed it around 10 weeks maybe (my sister actually said something to me about it), but I feel like I really popped around 12 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-823429 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 00:39:37 +0000 erinpye 823429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't pop until 24 weeks with my first, but had what I felt was a noticeable bump around 18 or so. This time, at just 4 weeks I'm already the size I was at 16 weeks with my last. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-822120 Fri, 31 May 2013 13:01:04 +0000 avivoca 822120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: I started taking pictures at 5 weeks. I felt different, but you couldn't see it until 13 weeks. I popped a little at 16 weeks, and by 19 weeks, strangers were complimenting me. Now I'm 22 weeks, and there is no mistaking that baby is on board. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-822090 Fri, 31 May 2013 12:48:09 +0000 MrsTiz 822090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: @birdofafeather: Awh thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-821751 Fri, 31 May 2013 11:00:11 +0000 abbylyn 821751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started using a hair-tie to close my pants around 10 or 11 weeks, and by 14 weeks I had made the transition to maternity pants/belly bands. I'd say it was first noticeable to me around 10 weeks, but to others was probably 13 or 14 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-821741 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:56:13 +0000 lilteacherbee 821741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed a tiny bump at 11 weeks, which is when I started taking pictures. All this week (15w), my kids' parents have been commenting on the bump, so I guess it's obvious now. I'm 5' with a really short torso so there's nowhere else for it to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-821729 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:53:44 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 821729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: you are so pretty!</p> <p>Okay be honest how many of you started taking pictures the second you found out you were pregnant? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-821654 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:36:02 +0000 birdofafeather 821654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: you look so cute!! </p> <p>I think I noticed around week 12 but looking back, it was barely there. Probably week 16 I was no longer in denial and then week 17 I popped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-821474 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:47:04 +0000 MrsTiz 821474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 10 weeks I had a more rounded belly than before, I wasn't thin to begin with but DH and I could tell a diffrence.</p> <p>Okay, ton of pictures coming but 12 weeks is basically what I looked like before. I was sucking in a little but you get the idea. 14 weeks I felt a lot bigger but I think from 14 to 15 weeks was the biggest change. (I also had a stranger ask me if I was pregnant at 15 weeks so I apparently looked it to others too!). Now at 16 weeks two more people commented that I must be pregnant. At 17 weeks I feel obviously pregnant..haven't taken that picture yet though. </p> <p>[attach=2456/13/mno3qg.480x486.164631_10200948563052785_1284892825_n.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2456/13/mno3qi.480x528.184463_10201024568832882_1048085316_n--1-.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2456/13/mno3qj.486x480.385301_10201074737367064_879861340_n.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-821446 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:41:04 +0000 ladyfingers 821446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I noticed mine at 11 weeks. By the time I started dressing in maternity clothes at 12 weeks, most people could tell. It was quite obvious by 15 weeks.</p> <p>Here's my 8 week shot followed by my 12 week shot. I was mainly bloated at 8 weeks, but you could tell something had popped by 12 weeks. </p> [attach=231/13/mno3gh.297x285.progress1.jpg] [attach=231/13/mno3gj.450x600.IMG_0432.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-821062 Fri, 31 May 2013 07:28:00 +0000 Ash 821062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: same!<br /> I hit 14w last weekend and asked dh "what is this?" while pointing at my new belly. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-820938 Fri, 31 May 2013 05:56:50 +0000 Cherrybee 820938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im plus sized too and move started to show ie people were whispering at about 9 weeks. Then at 13 weeks it POPPED! I looked about 6 months pregnant overnight!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-820933 Fri, 31 May 2013 05:51:12 +0000 singingbee 820933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, mine was below my belly button. Now it's rounding out and moving up. I can feel my uterus in line with the belly button and moving above it. It's hard. I could feel it beneath my tummy pudge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-820932 Fri, 31 May 2013 05:48:57 +0000 singingbee 820932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a 14-16 and I noticed my bump around 13 wks. By 19 wks, it's obviously a baby in there. But, this is my second, so I think things were stretched out from before. </p> [attach=208/13/mnnspm.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-820926 Fri, 31 May 2013 05:45:32 +0000 Charm54 820926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember not being able to button my pants at 12 weeks. By 15 weeks I had a developing bump and was in maternity clothes. If you knew I was pregnant you could tell but I think I could still get away with it. Now at 24 weeks there is absolutely no way I could hide it, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-820901 Fri, 31 May 2013 04:48:37 +0000 illumina 820901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was around 15wks when I first noticed it and was sure it definitely started to look like a bump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-819854 Thu, 30 May 2013 19:42:49 +0000 Mrs. Pen 819854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember really popping at 14 weeks. But I noticed it a little earlier. maybe 10? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-819848 Thu, 30 May 2013 19:41:46 +0000 Bao 819848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-819836 Thu, 30 May 2013 19:40:36 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 819836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsCB: aw that's good to know! I just want to be able to feel it &amp; know what it is. I'm 5 wks (as of today whoot) so I know its still pretty early to find yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-819397 Thu, 30 May 2013 18:34:00 +0000 Running Elley 819397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 12 weeks with #1 and 7 with #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-819389 Thu, 30 May 2013 18:32:31 +0000 ShootingStar 819389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm plus size as well, (16 pre-preg) and I noticed it pretty soon. Around 9 or 10 weeks I noticed the top of my stomach was starting to stick out, when it hadn't really before. Yesterday, at 14.5 weeks, I saw a bunch of people I used to work with and two different people that I told I was pregnant were like "oh, I didn't want to ask!" So I'm looking different to people who know me, but I think not so pregnant that strangers know the difference.</p> <p>BTW, I've found that anything full panel is my friend. Maternity jeans, leggings, etc. They take my tummy pudge and kind of round it out, lol. I also bought some maternity shirts in large, when I'd typically wear XL. I love the ruched shirts because they kinda round things out too. I know they say to buy in your regular size, but XL maternity stuff hangs on me. I'm guessing it'll fit at the end of my pregnancy though. But by that time it'll be November, I won't need the summer shirts I'm wearing now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-notice-your-bump#post-819302 Thu, 30 May 2013 18:18:37 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 819302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm plus size so not being able to see my bump till I'm further along has me bumming a little. </p> <p>How far a long were you when you first felt or noticed your bump? Show me your early bump pictures. Newbee question: where the heck did you find it?! I want to know when I find it that that is what it is and not just poop! </p>
