I'm 21W2D pregnant today and I've gained 12 lbs so far. I had a perfect BMI pre-pregnancy.
So far unless I wear something that is absolutely fitted no one can tell am pregnant. I'm still wearing my size 6 fitted pants, the buttons stopped buttoning at 18W so I wear a bella band and most of my shirts are long and wide anyway.
I went to a party last night where everyone commented on how I'm not showing at all but that I'm getting chubby (I was wearing a quilted thick skirt and my hips are very wide as I'm a pear shape, doesn't matter how thin I get, my hips (bone wise) are very wide)...I'm not in a hurry for my bump to stick out at all..but being told that "you don't look pregnant at all, just chubby" is something stupid and should never be said to anyone pregnant or not!
and being told that "your getting heavier at the bottom" is also very inaccurate because that's where I've been heavier all my life and the skirt I wore wasn't helping, if I was getting heavier at the bottom I wouldn't have been able to still wear my tight pants comfortably! it's like saying oh you don't look like your gaining pregnancy weight, but that it's all going to your butt! WTF?!
When I'm dressed for work people ask me if I'm losing weight, confusing much?! cause am wearing my pants and flowy shirts.
couldn't be mean to these people as they are my mother's old friends...wanted to throw tantrums though especially when I was told to sit down and not dance cause am pregnant by like 3 or more women!!!!!
