I’ve got to show you my CRAZY 16 week baby bump! Now this may be a little TMI, but I have no problem going there.
I’ve noticed that when I need to pee REALLY badly my belly sticks out way more than usual. So far G’s the only one who’s seen the proof first-hand, and when I try to describe this phenomenon to other people they’re skeptical. So last week–at 16 weeks pregnant–I decided I had to get the proof on film.
Here’s my 16 week bump normally:
Now here’s what just blows my mind–this is my belly after I chugged a bunch of water and waited until I had to pee really bad:
And then here it is again 2 minutes later after I went to the bathroom:
Where the heck did it go? Isn’t that crazy??
lol that’s a new one…how crazy!
I feel like I just watched a science experient!
LOVE IT!!
Crazy! But you are still so adorable pregnant. It is one thing i will never get to experience, so i am envious ( in a good way)! =)
BWAHAHA, that is hilarious and I LOVE that you documented it on your blog! You’re awesome.
Ha! Wow, that’s crazy!
What the what? That’s crazy…I never knew that happened!
Week 16 – 17 I noticed a “phantom” belly a lot too. After I ate or needed to go to the bathroom, it would be huge, then I would wake up in the morning and it would be gone. I popped finally at around 19 weeks. You are too cute!
That’s nuts. I think it has something to do with the position of the bladder/uterus. What a cool experiment!
Seriously, what the heck?? That’s so crazy- I’ve never seen anything like it!!
perhaps its a Renesmee! =D
is that normal? I can’t believe that happens! You look very cute pregnant, totally working that *little* bump!
Lol. That.is.awesome.
crazy!! you’re still super cute either way! at least you will know what to expect when it gets that big for real!
I sometimes have a Phantom belly and I’m not even pregnant! (i call it too much chips and queso!) I totally hear ya! I can’t wait to see it when i’m pregnant. You are super cute- little bump and all!
WTF?! I wonder if this will continue through your whole pregnancy.
Also, this was a really fun science experiment. Maybe the kid can tack these photos to a poster board and call it a day the first time the elementary school science fair rolls around.
Oh my goodness, that’s crazy!!!
That is hilarious!
I’m 24 weeks pregnant and the only time you can tell I’m pregnant is right after I eat! It’s funny how our bodies work sometimes.
That is kind of crazy but I know where you’re coming from. I’m not pregnant but if I have to pee really bad and wait my belly expands and I seriously look prego.
That’s me. It started at 16 weeks…by then end of the day I look a good 7 or 8 months pregnant. In the mornings I’m back down to nothing. I’ve gotten quite used to it but think it’ll hit me when it doesn’t disappear in the morning.
LOL…your posts always make me laugh. This is pretty crazy!
Holy sh*t Batman! That’s wild!
Oh my gosh. That is absolutely insane!! How is that even possible? It’s like you gain and lose 10 weeks, LOL.
And OMG, can I just say that I love the person who suggested that it may be a Renesmee.
you’re like a medical marvel or something.
you’re like a medical marvel or something.
Gotta love our preggo bodies! Its actually quite normal, and much more obvious on a slim person! Your bladder sits basically under and behind your uterus, so when your bladder is full, it will push your uterus out. As baby grows, baby will push back on your bladder and you might find you will have to pee much more frequently, as the uterus will overpower your bladder. Oh the joys of pregnancy!
You look fabulous- full bladder or not!
hahahaha I just laughed out loud. That’s so funny!
OMG! That is amazing!
D – this post made me laugh so hard…you are so funny! You are gonna make such a fun mom.
OMG, that is crazy! Thanks for documenting it
Oh my gosh – that’s soooo weird!!!! I guess you are getting a sneak peak at what you’ll look like at 6 mos!!!
Freak!! Hee, hee, you are so cute. That is so weird…thank you for holding your pee that long so that you could show us..the things we do for blogging:) Thanks for sharing all your outfits, I’m taking notes for later on how to be pregnant and still look really stylish!
That is so funny. Glad you shared the proof.
you look freakin’ adorable! [and you make me miss my belly more each week!]
OMGosh, that is so funny! You have the cutest pregnancy outfits. I hope I look as stylish as you when I get pregnant!
WOW. In the pee picture you actually look pregnant. In the other ones you look like you just ate Thanksgiving dinner!
hahaha welcome to the world of pregnancy!!
My belly did the exact same thing until I “popped”! You look adorable!
That is hilarious!
that is WILD!
That is NUTS! I’ve never heard of such craziness. =) You still look adorable though. How do you do it?
Holy crap, you went from 16 weeks to 6 months!! That is hysetrical!
LB
Wow, that is pretty cool.
Lol at you and also at Renesmee (and I have to say that I read all of the Twilight books because of you and your posts about it, just so you know).
You are too cute. You and your pee bump.

Love the last photo “uh, oh – where’d it go?” look!
I’m so going to the same thing someday!
Cutest pregnant woman/girl EVER.
whaaa?!?! That’s insane! I’ve never seen that before!
whaaa?!?! That’s insane! I’ve never seen that before!
that’s awesome you got pics of it! mine does the SAME thing (im 16wks) but after i eat. I swear im huuuuuge after i eat, then in a few hrs its gone!
Ahhh the mysterious joys of pregnancy!
OMG that is borderline creepy! LOL. The pre-bathroom picture seriously looks like you’re close to 7 or 8 months pregnant! I’ve never seen something like that before.
Congratulations on you pee baby!! ha ha, that is funny, I cant even belive how big it got just from having to pee.
LOL! So glad you all enjoyed this post–I just couldn’t resist sharing. Thank you for all your comments–they were hilarious!
@priscilla–Your comment about it being a Reneseme literally made me laugh out loud. I love it!
@Carazy Mom–Glad to hear there’s actually an explanation for this. Thanks for the info!
@bklyn76–Maybe that’s a sign you’re ready for another? Heehee!
@jbhat–Ooh, I got you turned on to Twilight, eh? I love hearing that! Although maybe I should find out how you liked them first before I gush about how excitd I am. What did you think? Also–your “pee bump” comment cracked me up, lol!
