2nd Trimester
Plus size ladies...question??
How far along were you when you first felt your "bump" form? I was a size 16 pre-pregnancy and am wondering when I will stop feeling "chubby" and start physically feeling PG??

I'll put a PIP up for you from my last pregnancy - this is me at 25 weeks last time. This is the first picture that I think I am showing in. I was probably a 14-16 at that point. And still wearing regular shirts.
This time, I have a bump already and I don't look quite as perky as last time, LOL.
I was 18/20 pre-pregnancy and my belly started rounding out at about 15 weeks. My ute tilts forward so it made me start to show earlier. To me and DH it was obvious (he kept saying how cute and pregnant I looked), but I think to others its just starting to become noticable. I'm 20 weeks now and becoming more and more fond of my bump!
By the way, the Bella Band was my BEST friend when I was in that chubby phase. It smoothed everything out so it looked more like a baby bump and less like a gut. Did wonders for my confidence. Totally worth the money IMO.
this is a picture from yesterday 19 weeks 3 days. I can feel my uterus right below my belly button. I have the "B" belly though where my belly sticks out, goes in at my belly button, then sticks back out. I'll be happy when it finally rounds out! I feel like it just looks like I ate too much. Hopefully in the next few weeks or so it will round out!
Oh ladies, it is so nice to hear that other women are going through the same thing I am. At 14 weeks, I took my first belly picture and cried because I had the B belly going on strong. I was too embarrassed to show anyone the picture!
I feel like I have spent the last couple of weeks making sure everyone knew that I was pregnant just so they wouldn't think that I just got fatter! I have noticed that things are rounding out more now but its still like all my belly fat got pushed up above the belly button.
I'm glad to know that it will eventually round out!!
I am size 22-prepreg. My "waist" disappeared one day about my 24th week. Remember that it will look big above the belly button because the LO is shoving all mommy's internal organs up there. I am 26 weeks today (98 days until due date) and now feel confident that I look pregnant (at least to those who know) and not just fat.
