When did you all notice your stomach actually changing rather than just being bloated?

I hit 17 weeks this past Friday. This week I noticed my bump starting to stick around! Normally it's pretty soft and flat in the morning and during the day comes out. Now it's not going anywhere! My mom, husband and cousin notice it too.

My husband has been commenting on it for 3 days now because he finally sees it! 😍😍😍

This morning I was laying on my back and my lower stomach felt so ... different? It was sooo hard, especially on the right side and sticking out, then about 10 minutes later I did it again and it was on the left! The sensation was so strange! But got me so excited!

And my husband is teasing me because I'm starting to waddle a little bit if I'm super tired or did too much that day. 🤣🤣🤣
