Waistline Regrets

ckk8584

Before getting pregnant, I was not in the best of shape.  I tend to carry my weight in my belly.  I am sad because I won't be able to take cute belly pics like thin girls because before I was preggo I already looked like 3 or 4 months pregnant.  I had even had a few people ask me if I was pregnant (which was really painful & embarassing, especially since we were trying).  My girl friend is six weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy and she has the most adorable little baby bump.  I will never look like that b.c. I'm too big.  

 

Excuse my whining.  Just kinda wanted to get it out.

I have also been asked if I was pregnant well before we were trying. Like you, if I gain weight, I carry it in my belly. I am holding out hope I have a cute pregnant belly, LOL.

I'm bigger too. No cute bump for me, but I'm hoping that once I start to really pop it will look cute. At least my weight is fairly evenly distributed, so minus the above the button pudge, it's not TOO bad

It will come eventually. It may not be as soon, but if you start taking weekly photos you'll see it. I was 70 pounds overweight last time and around 17 weeks you could really tell I was pregnant in maternity clothes (in regular clothes it was hard to tell, because they aren't made to flaunt a bump.) And it got more pronounced from there.

These were taken on the same day only a few hours apart. The top was in regular clothes, the bottom in a maternity dress. I was 18 weeks.

I'm right there with you! I tried and tried to lose weight while we were TTC only to find out my Thyroid was the culprit.  I ended up gaining. Now about 50 lbs overweight...but I have been taking "bump pictures" just to see the progression, if I can notice.  I still feel like its more flab that bump...(I know it is bloat right now) but I have noticed a difference for sure.
