12 weeks and I just look fat...

So all of the bloat/swelling has gone down from the IVF and I think I look just like I did before the BFP.  No, I can not wear my regular pants, but just by a little.  Has anyone ever been scared something is wrong?  I haven't spotted at all, a little cramping when I'm turning over at night in bed, I can tell I need to eat every 2-3 hours, but seems like a bite or two takes care of the hunger...we don't go to the OB til July 22.  Am I just a worry wort?

I think in general, we are all more paranoid than most pregnant people given all of the hard work we had to go through to get pregnant in the first place, so don't feel alone!!  And I looked bloated and fat until about 12 weeks..and then I looked way skinnier than I used to until about 16 weeks...then I finally started showing a smidge..but only to those that knew me really well.

I think we all go through that "I don't look pregnant, just fat" stage. At 12 weeks, I was wearing bella bands with my regular pants but I didn't look pregnant and could still easily hide it with clothes. The baby is still tiny and just starting to come out from behind your pelvic bone. It sounds like everything is fine so try not to worry.

Thank you both so much!!  I feel better...my sister told me I was jiggly tonight.  Gotta love her...skinny minnie.
