I'm just getting into instagram, right now its just pics of my dog but my screen name is Redmini1 on that too.
I really haven't noticed a difference either, my clothes still fit so I feel like nothing is happening. The only time I notice a bump is in the morning when I can feel the hardness underneath. Agree that I with I could start to feel something.

kinda cross posting but i wanted to let you all know that if you were planning on ordering a breast pump through your health insurance, I just did it over my lunch break and it was way easier than i thought it was going to be. I also thought i would have to wait until almost my due date but it should be deliver in 2-3 weeks.
watermelon / 14467 posts
@Chillybear: How did you find out which pump to order? Did you call your insurance company? I need to get that figured out.
pomegranate / 3032 posts
@evansjamie: I started with the insurances website - I have aetna and they had a page that has most of the info
Next i called the service number on the back of my card and spoke with a rep who answered some of my questions but referred me to calling the medical suppliers. I knew i wanted the Medela so i called the first supplier and left a voice mail. I then tried the last one on the list and was able to speak to a rep. She answered all my questions. When i asked how close to the due date i needed to put my claim in she said she could process the request now and i would get the pump in 2-3 weeks. It cost me $58 out of pocket to get the Advanced Pump in Style with tote. The lesser model would have been free but it would have taken 6-8 weeks to be delivered as well. They also had the freestyle for $125 out of pocket cost.

@Chillybear: Thank you, that is so good to know! I have Aetna as well, I'm glad that they were very easygoing about it (and that I don't have to wait until closer to my due date to order).
pomegranate / 3032 posts
@evansjamie: i think the first supplier on the list was out of stock on the medela (according to the website). The woman i spoke with at Sunmed, her name was Dallas Ward was very easy to work with and just needed my insurance info, doctor info, and address. She sent over a "receipt" for the extra $58 that i had to sign and fax back and she was able to take my credit card info over the phone.

@Mrs R.: you need to read my blog (kjpugs.com) and the post I wrote yesterday because I literally said the same exact stuff!!! I'm with ya, lady! Do you have a long torso or a B- shaped belly (B from the side?) I've had friends saying that impacts showing.
@Redmini1: I requested you on IG! (kjpugs)
@Chillybear: I need to figure out what kind of pump I want, you are so informed that's awesome!
grapefruit / 4862 posts
@evansjamie: oh yeah and my BFF who will be 17 weeks on Thurs has been feeling baby move for a week now, and she described it like that!

@Mrs R.: HI! I get dizzy anytime I go from lying flat to sitting/standing. I usually take a minute (unless I have to go to the bathroom rightthissecond, but in those instances I hold on to the wall so I don't tip over.
pea / 13 posts
@kjpugs: Glad to know I'm not alone! I have a really short torso and I guess you would say the "B" shape, but when I suck in now, the top part disappears and my lower stomach really pushes out.
I will definitely be following your blog now!

I had to post this up because I have been so sad I am not showing either. Every week on the blog I post a new bumpdate, however, my bump doesn't really seem to grow at all lol
Yes, in this tight tank top it looks like a little bulge, but it basically looks the same as last week AND no one actually thinks I look pregnant!!
I think I am the farthest along on this thread. I am almost 16.5 weeks. I think I am just mostly worried that the baby isn't growing as fast as she should. Googling 16 week bumps did not make me feel better...some ladies have HUGE bumps by now...
grapefruit / 4862 posts
@KaitlynB: I feel THE EXACT SAME WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sorry you are in this camp too (I also hear first pregnancies take the longest to show) but it's nice to know we're not alone. Does yours grow when you eat?
cherry / 193 posts
@KaitlynB: @kjpugs Yup, right there with you. As the bloat goes down I actually feel like my bump is shrinking. I may or may not have googled " shrinking baby bump" today
watermelon / 14467 posts
My bump feels like it's shrinking too, until I eat something. Then, hello, I can't fit my pants anymore. So I take my bump shots after I eat. I'll be 16 weeks on Friday, and I can't wait until the bump says "baby" instead of "too many french fries!"
pomegranate / 3032 posts
everyday me and hubs play "does this shirt make me look fat or pregnant?" Today i played by myself and i think i made a fat error in calling the play
grapefruit / 4079 posts
@Chillybear: lol I do the same thing. Skirt makes me look pregnant, shirt is a eh either way. My arms need to start lifting weights lol
olive / 63 posts
@kjpugs: I think it does stick out a little more when I eat...
@ladybee: @Jennimac: That's what I am talking about!!! You guys are 3-4 weeks behind me and have a nice bump!!!! ):
grapefruit / 4862 posts
Today was my last zofran and my insurance company is making me do mail order from now on. I sent it in a week ago- still no call no show, nada. I literally called them and CRIED and asked them if they wanted me to call them while puking tomorrow, or if they were going to get it to me. Guess what's overnighted to arrive tomorrow??
pomelo / 5073 posts
@KaitlynB: it's my second pregnancy, so I think that has something to do with it. I do know that I look more pregnant this time than I ever did last time, even at 20 weeks.
watermelon / 14467 posts
@ladybee: @Jennimac: Look at those cute bumps!
@KaitlynB: I'm sure your baby is growing just as it should. I generally carry my weight in my torso, so it's just ballooning out while everything else stays the same.
I felt flutters last night! It was like I was being tickled from the inside, and now I imagine that Woog is doing the breaststroke in there.

@ladybee: @Jennimac: Ahh! I'm so jealous of your bump pics.
@KaitlynB: I think I'm right behind you and I agree, I've got nothing to show yet.
@kjpugs: Glad you got Zofran, that stuff is a lifesaver. Are you taking the dissolving tablets or the ones that you need to swallow. I've had both and I felt like the dissolving tablets worked faster but it could totally be in my head.
grapefruit / 4862 posts
@Redmini1: dissolving is all I've been given... I tried to hold out today but it's been nasty, and around 10am I had tried eating everything I could find to help (not working) so I took the last one Hope it arrives EARLY tomorrow!

@jennimac @ladybee @kaitlynb: thanks for sharing your bumps! i'll throw mine into the mix...i'm 15w0d in the pic (this morning). i have been feeling that it's too soon to be showing. to be honest, i wasn't expecting this until closer to week 20...
cherry / 175 posts
@kaitlynb: i forgot to mention that this kind of happened overnight! sunday i went to bed looking more similar to the pic you posted and yesterday morning and today look like the pic i posted. so if you're really wanting that bump it could be any day now! it wasn't gradual for me at all and surprisingly no weight gain for me - starting to question my scale.

Hello Ladies. I'm in the same boat at 15 weeks...I'm not showing at all either, although I have graduated to maternity pants because it is incredibly uncomfortable to wear them now. I think it's normal to not show until around 20 weeks into your first pregnancy, but I wish it would happen now too. Although, I was trying on clothes the other day, and one shirt I tried on made me look incredibly pregnant, which was kind of exciting! I feel like I just look really fat, which is normally the case since I'm so short.
I'll try to post a bump picture later on just to share.
grape / 91 posts
Loving all your bump pictures! I still feel kind of weird taking a bump picture because its just my regular big fat stomach, slightly larger because of a baby under there! I probably won't take a picture until closer to 20 weeks.

Hello Ladies! Congratulations on your bumps. I can't decide if mine is a bump or just pork from my pre-preg life. I've been lurking for weeks and finally have the courage to say hello! Anyway, which blogs and Web sites do you guys find helpful for pregnancy/birth info besides this one (the best, IMHO)
watermelon / 14467 posts
Here's my 14+5 picture from last week. It's mainly my chub being pushed up and out.

@corilyns: Hello! I'm not really looking at a lot of other websites other than local information on birth, hospitals, etc. I do like the Sprout App on my phone though.
