Did anyone go from no bump to WHOA BIG BUMP!?

[hokiegirl82]

I feel like I had no bump one day, and then the next I was all big belly and bump all overnight. I remember feeling at 20 weeks how I wish I could look more pregnant than just fat, and here at 25 weeks I can't believe how big my stomach/bump is. Seems like in a just a few short weeks I went from just looking fat to super pregnant (and I can't believe I have 15 more weeks to go - where is it all gonna go?) Not to complain, at least people can tell now that I'm actually pregnant and not just gaining a ton of weight in the spare tire area.

Yes!!! Last week (22w) I came home from work and H was like "Ummm... Your belly looks different." It was crazy how fast it went from maybe pg to definitely a baby bump. I love it.

Yes, I am dealing with exactly the same thing! I had this really petite bump for a long time and all of a sudden overnight BAM! If you want proof, just check out my HDBD pick, ha ha!

[narockshard]

Yes! It seems like at 21 weeks it just suddenly popped and now I feel gigantic. I'm really scared about how much bigger I'm going to get (I'm 23 weeks now).

[teep]

Yes, almost that same timing too. I don't take weekly photos, I do monthly. My 20th week (5 month) photo I hardly have a bump at all. By my 24th week photo I looked HUGE. It happened fast!

From about 17 weeks to now almost 20 I have really popped. My H even said that in two weeks it has become apparent I'm pregnant.

Oh yay! I can't wait for this. I've been holding off on buying maternity clothes outside of the basics because I want to wait until I have a visible bump.

You could always do what I did: I used the fake bump at Gap Maternity to try stuff on. I didn't want to wait!

Yes- at 21w.

I can still hide it in certain clothes, but it really did feel like an overnight change.

This is good to know. I feel like my lower abdomen has become more defined in the past couple of days. Now I just need my waistline to catch up!

[chickadee77]

I popped around 21-22 weeks, too!

Yes. I Came home last Friday and H was like- your belly is bigger than your but. Although he said it using a line from a rap song.

I'm clearly pg and not just "pudgy" or thick.

This was my fave!! I sent H a picture of me in a dress I ended up buying for one of my showers saying that I'd had a growth spurt over night. Lolol I hadn't seen him that morning yet since he went for an early run and I left before he got back. He called a few seconds and was like "Ummm...."So funny!

Oh yeah. This is my second child, so I starting showing much earlier. I feel like I went from no bump at all to being the size I was last time at 20 weeks! I starting all this about 15-16 weeks.

That's hilarious! I was with my mom, and I made her put on the bump and sent a picture to her fiance.

Yes! I totally feel this way. The past week or so I feel way bigger. Yesterday I looked in the mirror and did a double take at my belly button which looked like I've never seen it. Hasn't popped out yet but just didn't look like mine! It's getting all opened or something.

[lulu21]

Yea you're going to pop a couple times! I popped once in each trimester. Even people around me noticed that my bump would get more defined.
