Question for girls that are showing

a lot of friends told me that when they "pop" it feels like it happens within just a few days. right before you started to show--like when random strangers would be able to tell you're pregnant--did you feel your stomach muscles stretching out?

I'm 21 weeks and not showing yet; I now have a rounder tummy, but no one would notice it as a difference if they have never seen me without my shirt on. Anyway, my stomach feels SO weird today--it's not painful, but it feels like it's stretching overtime. I've felt cramping before, but this feels way more intense (and once again, I'm not in pain). Am I making sense?

I wasn't showing at 19 weeks when I went back to work. And at 19 weeks my round ligaments kicked my ***. I felt like someone was ripping something out of me. It sucked. Now at 23 weeks I am finally looking preggo, I had an open house at my job ( a school) and parents could tell.

I think my progression was subtle. I don't think I popped in a few days. But the round ligaments did need to stretch to be able to pop.

so funny you mention that. I am 18w5d. For the past few days I felt like my LO was literally laying with their hands and feet pushing out at me every minute of the day. Today I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror and I was shocked! I officially popped and it is insane!!!!
