Baby bump or food bump?

MrsMendenhall

I've only gained 3.5 pounds and i'm about to hit week 12, but I feel so fat. I have plenty of clothes that are too tight already. Everyone keeps asking "are you showing yet?", then they look awkwardly at my stomach. I tell them I think that it's a food bump, not a baby bump yet. I don't know how to tell???? Should my stomach be hard already? I'm definitlely feeling more fat and puffy than pregnant.

It's in the awkward stage until closer to 18 weeks, then you will "pop."  Just enjoy the who process because it will go by so fast

Oh good! That's what i'm aiming for, who cares and just be happy it's a healthy baby. 

Thank you so much for the feedback!
