If you are able to suck it in to the point where you dont like pregnant is that techinically a baby bump?? LOL or is it at the point where you can no longer do that that you are finally showing?

    I have a small bump when I let it out....but I can totally suck it in for long periods of time and not look pregnant...

  • mMyWittlePeanut Posted 06-09-11

    When you suck it in, whatever is left out is your bump. Plus it is firmer. Don't worry, you'll pop soon. Wink

  • iislamom Posted 06-09-11

    Nope, sorry but I don't think that is your baby bump. Enjoy being able to suck it in though - it won't last much longer!!

    UGH I just look fat in the stomach. It's so much better when people realize "oh ok, she's pregnant" :)

  • ggina0911 Posted 06-09-11

    I cant suck it in I tried haha! But I think you wouldnt be able to because its actually really hard feeling..

  • member avatarAmyRaeN Posted 06-09-11

    lol -- Techinically, I wouldn't call it a baby bump, no. You could call it a pregnancy bump though.

  • wwannafamof_6 Posted 06-09-11

    When you get later into your pregnancy you will not be able to suck in your stomach at all. The real baby bump is when it gets firm. But heck, we're all prego and if you wanna call ur early bump a baby bump then call it a bump. It's not like there's a bump police out there or anything Tongue out

  • rRhody'smom Posted 06-09-11

    here's mine today

  • member avatardesi_mama_nyc Posted 06-09-11

    Yes! I can still suck it in, but not all the way. And my top half is totally round... I know it's just my organs and bloat, but to the outside world it's a baby bump!

  • member avatarJennyInGa Posted 06-09-11

    I can still manage to not look pregnant if I suck in, but after 3 other babies the ol' stomach muscles aren't what they used to be LOL. So...I just claim to be showing already. Since I'm small everywhere else no one questions that...he he. I say you're totally showing even if it is just pudge Tongue out
