such cute belly pics :) ... I'm still not showing, but I can already tell this baby is long by the way it stretches from one side of my stomach to the other, and of course with its head near my groin and legs already kicking my ribs. The baby is only up before I wake up and an hr or so before I go to bed.

This baby has done a few stretching-out-across-the-uterus thing a few times and I thought they were BH at first.

speaking of BH, i think I have gotten them once or twice, never did with DD. I have heard of women getting BH very early like 2 months pregnant... my first thought when I was getting them the other day was, I don't remember it hurting this bad, which makes me so much more excited to go through natural labor again ;)

Belly has definitely popped even more over here. My bra size hasn't really changed this time. Last time, it went up right away. I've had no tenderness yet (maybe because I'm still nursing DD?), but have been gently weaning her and just a few days ago noticed breast tenderness. Maybe next is some increase in size? Wouldn't mind at all, as I am normally an A cup, LOL.

Here's me (green shirt) on the day I went into labor with DD. Definitely bought new bras a few times during that pregnancy! (Side note... love this photo, as my two friends/co-workers were also pregnant. 6 people in that tiny office!)

I bet that was a lot of hormones in that office Virginia! And a lot of snacks, haha.

me too! Now that I am 15+ weeks, I feel like the belly is growing more each day and switch from bloat to baby. I told the office last Monday at our company meeting and am so glad I did - there's no hiding it now!

 

I have to start taking pictures. I tried taking one last week with my phone and it was awful. Also, I took it in yoga pants and a tank top (no bra) because I figured that way I could be wearing the same things throughout pregnancy and it would show the changes in my body rather than my clothes ... but then I put on jeans and a sweater to go to work and looked  soooo much more pregnant! Anyone else look more pregnant in more clothes? it seems counterintuitive to me.

Kimble, I feel the same way, I started wearing my maternity pants lately and they seem to make me look more pregnant!
I also feel like I've just popped in the last 2 days. I can't believe the difference when I look at my last belly pic. I have a tilted uterus so maybe it's just popped out or something! I sure love having a little baby belly. Can't wait til I can start feeling movement and even better, seeing movement!!
ETA: I will post a picture on Friday! I will be 13 weeks! Eek!

kimble- I for sheez for look more pregnant depending on the top I wear. Like, if I wear a tank and big cardigan it hides the belly a bit but if I wear an elastic-y cotton shirt it's ttly belly time. But it's honestly hard for me to tell how much is my pregnant belly because I had a fluffy belly to begin with. Just want this bad boy to start getting more firm already!

eee i'm 16 weeeks tommorrow..picture later.. i think my belly has popped a bit this week.. altho im also quite constipated lol which isnt helping with my general swell ;)
 

post #92 of 724

I have totally popped in the last couple days!  People can actually tell I am pregnant by looking at me now.  A co-worker (gentleman in his 50s) congratulated me the other day having just found out because he asked someone after noticing I was looking "thicker" than usual.  lol.  I'll have to post a pic again soon.

 

I definitely had the bloat, then got smaller after I dealt with the bloat, as some of you all did.  I am now getting a true baby bump.

This is how I feel all of a sudden. "Holy crap! 17 weeks on Saturday! That's like almost halfway! HOLY CRAP!" I am back to being constantly hungry and now with the sore hips and crazy back I am wondering if this baby is about to have a giant growth spurt. I will have to take a thanksgiving day photo. Maybe a before and an after supper photo, lol.gif.

 Heehee.  I am definitely larger by the end of the day or after a meal too.  Gotta love maternity pants during big meals though, right??  You don't have to undo a zipper after you eat. lol.gif

 

Maybe 17 weeks is a growth spurt?  I have the same symptoms (SO hungry and sore hips and back).

 So funny. (this is my first pregnancy) I texted my sis saying, "Maternity pants- best thing ever? I think so" She responded "yea the great thing is when you eat, if you get really full it doesnt matter!" So funny. I have to say though, getting full while pregnant? Not comfortable!!!

eeee.. 17 weeks.. that sounds SO much more then 16 lol.. its one of those jumps i think.. i just can't believe how big babys getting and how amazingly formed the spine was and stuff when i had my last scan... ahhh.. so exciting, theres a baby in my belly and its getting really fat.. lol.. i lost my appetite a bit this week but i think thats due to constipatedness, luckily ob told me to restart my laxatives, as my poor belly is not happy with me! ..will look foreward to seeing the pre/post dinner photos.. ha.. my tummy looks pregnant when i eat.. but then it goes away again :P but yeh can definately feel a hard lump of baby and womb now.. :D
