Is it true that your belly “pops” at a certain point?

3rd pregnancy, 1st baby to survive over 12 weeks.

Currently 13 weeks, belly has got bigger every week since about 8 weeks.

I’m just wondering out of curiosity, did your bump suddenly “pop” or did it gradually get bigger. Some people have told me theirs suddenly got a lot bigger over night

Just gradually got bigger. It did “pop” in the evening due to bloating though! And then deflate again by the morning…

Mike popped around 20 weeks with DD, but I had abs of steel back then, and everything stayed in place for a long time.

With this current pregnancy, I feel like I popped around 8 weeks with the bloat Blush

Mine! Not Mike 😆

Gradually, but looking back at photos there is a marked difference in the later weeks. 33 weeks I was still quite compact but 36 weeks looked like I’d swallowed a beach ball.

No. I was fat from implantation in all 3 of my pregnancies.

When im
laid down can feel it just below belly button. And about 20 weeks starts to move outwards as well as upwards

No mine just gradually got bigger each time, no sudden change.
