    It begins right at the top of your vagina – about 10cm below your belly button

    It starts to be seen after 13 weeks above your pubic bone. Before that it’s below your pubic bone so you can’t see it before then. It’s the top of your pubic bone.

    Baby bump starts below your belly button, right about your {ahem} hair line. As the baby grows, your uterus stretches and the bump grows upwards. They measure it in centimeters. At 20 weeks, the average baby bump is 20 cm; 40 weeks, 40 cm.

    As for weight, well, it’s not fat on your body, but I wouldn’t call it water weight.

    As for the boy/girl thing…in my experience, you can’t tell depending on how your bump is shaped. I’ve had 3 kids. First a boy, then a girl. I knew the sex of each before they were born. I carried them the same way. For my third, we didn’t find out the sex. Everyone SWORE I was having a girl because "You’re carrying all out front", and out popped a boy!

    It started VERY low, parallel with your pelvic bones… I’m pretty sure it starts the same place with both boys and girls. However, there is a huge difference in the actual bump between boys and girls. Boys look like they’re stretching straight out and girls are all curled up :D

    The baby grows in your uterus which is in the pelvic area. The baby grows up and out. Some women carry low and some high. Old wives tales say this has to do with the sex of the baby but that’s not always the case. When you step on the scale it’s all counted as one. When a doctor tells you to gain between 25 and 35 lbs he’s talking about the total overall. Before the baby is born doctors can only guesstimate how big the baby is.

    When my "baby bump" appeared I actually weighed less than I did before getting pregnant.

    It appeared in my lower abdomen (below my belly button)…it started around 12 weeks (though myself and my husband only noticed). Around 18 weeks it was apparent to close family and friends…and after 22 weeks it was obvious to all.

    thats my bump 3 weeks before my daughter was born she was full term and weighed 3.2kg

    it REALLY depends on the position of the baby

    Well everyone else seems to do a good job explaining it. Here’s the pics I sent to my sister a few days ago since I’ve been taking pics of the progression: http://s701.photobucket.com/albums/ww11/HunnyNToast/?action=view&current=monthsprogression.jpg

    Hope it helps

    The baby bump forms just below your pubic line and usually starts showing around three months give or take a few weeks depending on the woman. As you get further along the bump will slowly grow upwards.
