When do we POP?

[Pixie26]

So, you know how sometime in your pregnancy, you just feel like you've popped? Like, you got huge overnight? Well, Im pregnant w/#3 and I am trying to remember when I popped w/ the first 2. Anyone remember?
4 months? 5?
I know it will vary from person to person, pregnancy to pregnancy, but- in general, when did you POP?

For me - around 25 weeks, give or take. But I was carrying twins, so that might make things different. It was like I went from barely pregnant to full term overnight.

Last time probably around 24 weeks is when I really popped. This time I'm 18 weeks and feel like I've popped already in the sense that I'm showing and feel pregnant. I'm sure I'll feel differently the morning I wake up in a couple of weeks to a huge belly.

I'm about 23 weeks with my 2nd pregnancy - two people commented yesterday that all of a sudden I look pregnant. I can definitely tell the difference just from a week ago. Maternity pants I had to use a belly band to keep up fit just fine all of a sudden!!!

it was around 20 weeks with my 1st 2, but this time, #3, i feel like i popped this week at 13 weeks! i'm not huge, but i can feel my belly getting in the way when i sit down try to move certain ways.. and people are already commenting that i look pregnant ..

With DS it was just a gradual process--never really popped.

With DD I woke up at 12w2d looking pregnant. That was weird.

I think I popped around 28 weeks.

Before that no stranger ever commented on me being pregnant despite me being thin (skinny!) although it was winter so I was wearing thick layers.

I do remember around this time, when I got out of bed to go pee for the 45th time in 15 minutes my husband exclaiming "You're HUGE!!!"...which I wasn't, so much as I truely looked like I'd swallowed a beach ball.

I never really "popped". I think it was because I'm tall (5'8) - more torso for baby to fill up.

Im 16 weeks w/ #3, and I feel like any moment now I am really going to pop. Like hugely. Im short- 5 feet 1/2 on a good day, with a short torso, so with the baby mini bump and and some, errr, padding, I already look pretty big...
