That was when I first posted a picture of it too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301738 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 19:43:44 +0000 shopaholic 301738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo - Thanks for the link!</p> <p>@mrsjyw - You still look so slim and trim lady! :)</p> <p>OK - I just took my first "bump pics" and will try to post on the bump thread, hahah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301423 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 14:32:59 +0000 mrsjyw 301423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chastenet: adorable!!!! :D:D</p> <p>I don't think I started to POP until after 20 weeks. Before that (even though I thought I had a belly, it was bloat/food baby looking to ppl). </p> [attach=888/12/mam3mz.600x388.2ndtrim-b.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301297 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:23:26 +0000 kml636 301297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People really did not start noticing until 20 weeks with me. I think you show much later with your first child, and apparently it also depends how tall you are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301268 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:08:12 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 301268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm showing a lot faster now than I did with my first! I started really showing with the first around 20 weeks, but this time around I feel like I "popped" at 15-16 weeks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301262 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:04:20 +0000 pl0508 301262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>around 20 -21 weeks !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301256 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:01:11 +0000 pastemoo 301256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And if you still have a bump.... you can enter to win a FREE!!

At least maternity clothes are comfy lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301221 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:42:31 +0000 shopaholic 301221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chastenet - great progression! I think you look like a good bump by the 15th week, but probably still under clothes people couldn't be sure till maybe 19-22 weeks? Love week 41! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301142 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 12:03:54 +0000 lovehoneybee 301142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think looked obviously pregnant to strangers probably around 21-22 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301123 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:49:07 +0000 Chastenet 301123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I thought it was a nice way to finish :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-301112 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:41:37 +0000 pastemoo 301112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chastenet: Ah! 41 weeks!

To strangers it probably wasn't until about 26 weeks.<br /> Here's my progression shot for fun and to copy @pastemoo :) </p> [attach=1579/12/malsp6.600x450.Diapositive1.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300959 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 10:27:09 +0000 ladyfingers 300959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I popped out around 15 weeks, which as I understand it is fairly early. I'm short-waisted and had a lot of bloating so that's probably why! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300868 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 09:45:46 +0000 Mrs Checkers 300868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EARLY, around 12-13 weeks as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300864 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 09:43:23 +0000 shopaholic 300864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mungbean - hopefully I'm on track!</p> <p>@tororojo - I'm feeling like that right now too. Just look like I've overeaten later in the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300830 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 09:21:08 +0000 tororojo 300830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and am starting to have a little bump, but for people who don't know me it probably just looks like I eat too much. I can still hide it if I stand up straight and adjust my shirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300645 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 02:00:34 +0000 pinkcupcake 300645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I started showing around the 15th or 16th week? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300573 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:26:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 300573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: thank you!! amazingly, my husband took the photo! probably the best pic he's ever taken lol It's one of my favorites of me ever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300572 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:25:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 300572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: yup! I got my BFP right before July 4- that was when I announced it to my family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300564 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 22:08:02 +0000 shopaholic 300564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo - Thanks for sharing that! I think I could guess it's a bump at your 15 week? But yeah, a lab coat is probably the most bump-unflattering thing ever! :)</p> <p>@cocobee - Wow! Gorgeous pic and bump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300549 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:44:28 +0000 pastemoo 300549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessiBee: After my miscarriage I kind of went crazy and so the photo thing was something that helped me...<br /> On the right side in addition to the ultrasounds are all the heart rates from my dopplers. :)<br /> @photojane: Thanks! I didn't dress like that outside the house so it was visible later because of the clothes I wore. :)<br /> @cocobee: You're right! Wow! A year ago I had just barely gotten my first ultrasound where we could see the heart beat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300484 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:52:11 +0000 JessiBee 300484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: I love the progression with the ultrasound photos! Superstitious me didn't start taking weekly photos until after the first trimester, so sadly, my before stomach was not preserved in photos. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300483 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:50:55 +0000 photojane 300483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: fwiw, I think you definitely looked pregnant much earlier than you say! you had a nice round belly pretty early! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300465 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:36:03 +0000 Mrs. Pen 300465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: it's so crazy to think that was exactly a year ago!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300462 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:30:53 +0000 pastemoo 300462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Wow and looking so pretty, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300460 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:29:13 +0000 Mrs. Pen 300460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was pretty early... like 14 weeks </p> [attach=1597/12/makpgq.401x600.14wks--3-.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300455 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:22:52 +0000 pastemoo 300455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In something other than a tank? With huge boobs--they hide the belly. So here's my progression.... and people still weren't sure if I was fat or pregnant at 27 !! weeks. At around 23-24 weeks I started feeling like I could make myself look pregnant instead of fat when going out on weekends. I wore a lab coat at work so I pretty much looked fat until like... 34 weeks? HAH! (Big lab coat and I'm short.)</p> <p>[attach=741/12/makp64.357x600.delete-2-to-34-wks.JPG]</p> <p>The last month is missing but as you can tell I got big fast at the end and the last month was *obviously* showing so not relevant to this post anyway. :) Can't find my full progression/</p> <p>ETA 20 weeks I have the little shrug with the pink tank, and they are weekly from there. 27 weeks is the BRIGHT red tank's first appearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300444 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 20:07:34 +0000 wheres_c 300444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @hilsy85 I would say I started showing around 22-24 weeks. At 28 weeks, some people STILL haven't noticed. I just look chunky. I am 5'6 . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-bump-show#post-300400 Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:05:42 +0000 shopaholic 300400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jessibee &amp; @oliviablivia - I think that's what I am getting so far. DH thinks it's noticeable and a couple of friends can tell, especially when I wear certain things. I have a very short torso too, so I'm thinking I should start "showing" noticeably soon. But I went baby clothes shopping in a tank top today and two different store clerks said they couldn't tell (thought I was shopping for gifts). oh well, no big deal. I guess it would just be fun to have a bump to show! </p>
