Hi, I don't participate much because I am struggling with how much weight I keep gaining (seriously it's unstoppable!). But here we go.
I'm currently 34 weeks so you can just assume another 2 inches on the front.
Pics from BFP, 23 weeks, 32 weeks. Currently up about 55 lbs from pre-preg weight.

15w today and after loudly complaining the last few weeks about not showing, I feel like I am finally bumping out a bit. Here I am in my work uniform of husbands college tee and yoga pants but I had to snap a pic! (But someone at a store told me "you don't look pregnant. Like, at all." So who knows.)
-
@LazyLightning: you look great!! Seriously...you shouldn't be so hard on yourself girl. If it makes you feel better, I'm in the same boat. I think some body types want to put on maternal fat more than others, but it's doing what it's suppose to do. You look very fit pre- preg....bet you'll lose it in no time!!!!!
-
Gah, I've been SO bad about keeping up with bump pics! And thank you to everyone who said my mini bump was cute -- I have been waiting for baby to show himself and finally feel like I look a little more than chubby!
@lazylightning: I second what @JH524: said! You look amazing!
Here I am at almost 18 weeks!
-
@kjpugs: you have a bump! I hope you slapped the random person at the store.
@jh524: thanks. It's rough to feel so different. My body feels SO SLUGGISH, I'm sure you know the feeling!
-
@LazyLightning: I know, it's an uncomfortable, insecure feeling at times.... But I just try to think positive about it. We're creating a human being...what people say or how we feel about our weight gain doesn't stand a chance to the miracle in the works. Try to enjoy something about it, it'll be over in a few weeks!!!
-
@LazyLightning: Awwww, doll! I gained 60 pounds on my 5'7" 130lb pre-pg frame . . . a ton of it was fluid (I had pitted edema from the knee down), but it was still 6-0 pounds. I was seriously freaking out! BUT, it does come off (mine is coming off slowly, I have about 20 to go at 7 months pp, but I also stopped dieting in order to save my milk supply, and I am still losing a pound or so a week), and you will get back to you! I know it is so, so hard to feel like it is not within your control! I just didn't want you to think you were alone in your gain!
And, FWIW, despite the big gain, no stretch marks. *scratches head* And, my pre-pg abs are coming back. Woot!
-
@jh524: very excited about getting close to due date. unfortunately my morning sickness is back, which makes me really want to stab. lol
-
This was me last week at 30 weeks and plus 40 lbs. .. Yikes!!! Staying active and trying to tame my sweet tooth. Having good days and bad but overall feeling good.
-
@jh524: looking great!!
-
@MsLipGloss: nice, you're lucky on the stretch marks! Mine started around week 20 if not earlier. I actually thought i had a rash until I looked closer. They're *everywhere*. I am sure some of my weight is swelling too. It's quite obvious from the knee down. Legs are really ballooned and I can't wear my shoes.
-
@LazyLightning: so does morning sickness normally return? I didn't know that!! I'm sorry your feeling icky. Have you been exercising? I can't wear my shoes either....went to rite aid and got some killer slip on's in a size larger than norm.
@MamaMagpie: you look great!!!!
-
@jh524: can't exercise due to knee problems, as well as shortness of breath. I was able to exercise for about 6 weeks between when my nausea from 1st/2nd tri stopped, and when my swelling started around my knees.... I guess morning sickness returns for a lucky set of ladies. Woop.
-
@jh524: Wow, you look fantastic!!
@LazyLightning: You look great!! Don't worry about the gain, you look all belly to me! I've gained 20lb at 26 weeks but given that I was 172lb to begin with (at 5'4") it's a pretty big gain. Oh and the stretch marks - don't get me started on them!! I look like I have a road map tattooed on my tummy!! You were teeny tiny to begin with - I'm sure your gain is perfectly fine!
-
23 weeks, my first day in maternity pants!
-
So happy to see all these lovely bumps! I am feeling large and in charge now at 35 weeks from this past Friday. And a little bare belly shot...belly is threatening to pop but so far no stretchmarks (keeping fingers crossed!)
-
@jh524: thank you! And so do you! Your bump is round and perfect!
@chanzi: so cute! And aren't maternity pants soooo comfy? Today is my first day wearing them, too!
@maybebaby: gorgeous! And I am so loving your nursery!
-
@MamaMagpie: Yes, yay for stretchy pants! I can't wait for the weather to improve so I can wear my maternity leggings more often... Even more comfortable than the jeans!
-
I still have to reply to everyone, but here I am at 25 weeks! Cray cray!
-
@LazyLightning: You know I think you look amazing!
@kjpugs: You look great - I think you definitely notice the changes before other people do.
@MamaMagpie: Cute bump! You are definitely bumping out!
@jh524: You look awesome - a perfect round baby bump!
@chanzi: Wow, you made it much longer than I did, but maternity pants are the best! I am sooo not looking forward to getting back in regular pants soon.
@maybebaby: Can you believe it! Almost there - you look great! I don't want to jinx it, but I have been checking for stretch marks and haven't found any yet, either. Hopefully I can hold out for a few more weeks!
@.twist.: Looking good mama!Here is my bump at my shower last week at 33 weeks!
-
Everyone looks so cute! I can't even take it!
-
Ugh I am so behind on this thread! I am on my iPad and can't figure out how to reply to people on earlier pages, but everyone that I missed on pages 5 and 6 looks amazeballs! We have some seriously good-looking mamas and bumps on Hellobee!
@LazyLightning: So cool that you have those progression pics! It's amazing how quickly our bumps grow. You should participate more--you look fab!
@kjpugs: You look great! You will look more pregnant to yourself before others will start to notice. I am almost 24w and I am just now starting to look pregnant on a daily basis. I was shopping for mat clothes a few weeks ago and the lady didn't believe me when I said I was pregnant--she thought I was lying!!
@MamaMagpie: You are so cute!! Love your bump!
@jh524: You look great!! I need to tame my sweet tooth, too! What can I say...baby likes chocolate just like her mama!
@chanzi: You look awesome!! I have been in mat pants since 16-17 weeks...can't believe you've gone this long without them!
@maybebaby: Eeek! You are so cute and look so happy! You have a beautiful bare bump!
@.twist.: I cannot believe how fast time is flying and that you're already 25 weeks...I am right behind you! Your bump is so perfect and round...love it!
@tlcbaby: So pretty! Love that dress--you are glowing!I will post an updated bump pic this weekend...promise!
-
@tlcbaby: you look very pretty! Hope your shower was fabulous!! Mine isn't until 4 more weeks and ill be 35 weeks....eek! I'm not looking forward to pics but whatever!!!! Im gonna be huge by then...anyways, you look fantastic!!
-
@.twist.: I love that top and am inspired by your bangs...thinking about cutting some again and yours look perfect
@tlcbaby: That is the perfect outfit for a shower, and I hope you had the best time!
@lawbee11: Thank you! I'm so excited to finally feel like I have an actual bump -
@jh524: I'll be 37 weeks when we take my maternity photos...I am going to have to ask her to find my best angles by that point!
I think I'll wear that same dress.
-
I tried to post my pic...but my computer is being weird.
Anywho, you all look so great! I'm not feeling so bumpy yet, but more lumpy!
-
@chanzi: Girl, you are so tiny for being 23 weeks!! I was in maternity pants around week 14?
@.twist.: I think our bumps are about the same size!!
-
@Mrs squirreld: So cute! I love the way you're doing your photos. Oh, and there are stretch marks, but they're under the belly button, not on the sides. I spare you guys those shots!
@EVANSJAMIE: Seriously hey? Clothes are funny that way. You are looking so good!!
@PUMPKINSPICE: She is so gorgeous! and awesome on the weight loss! Be proud mama!
@STBHISMRS: haha, well, I don't think you look swimming in that shirt at all, you look adorables!
@CHERRYBEE: You look great! I love that dress!
@LazyLightning: You totally should participate more! I think you look really good. You look SO fit in the first photo that the weight is just going to fall off after the baby is born! Don't be too hard on yourself!
@kjpugs: I totally see a little bump!
@MamaMagpie: Thanks! They need to be trimmed a bit. I definitely think you should go for it, I think you'd look great, I love bangs! And your bump is looking super cute.
@jh524: I seem to have a sweet tooth at the moment too. ugh. lol. You look fab!
@chanzi: cutest little bump ever! Those mat pants are pretty comfy hey?
@maybebaby: You're so close to full term! eek! You look sooo good. Perfect belly!
@tlcbaby: Thanks! You look great, I love that dress !
@lawbee11: I know hey? I always looked up to the 3rd Tri mama's and now I'm almost one of them. where the heck has the time gone!
@Alivoo01: Your bump must look really great then hehe Where's the PICS?
-
