Hi all! Just wondering when you ladies started having a nice round belly instead of one that looks like just fat. I am so over looking fat instead of looking like I'm expecting.
I am at a very awkward stage and it looks like I'm putting on weight. I'm really hoping to round out soon because I feel very self-concious right now. Don't get me wrong; I am happy to be pregnant but really want that round adorable belly!
We're due date twins, but I'm a second-timer. I'm showing enough that my FIL feels comfortable commenting on it. He alllllllmost touched it but had the good sense not to.

This. Pre-pregnancy I worked hard on my body, then in May I was on bed rest. Now that I am gaining weight I am off, but the additional pounds look more like laziness then a baby belly. I have a super hard time dressing myself right now!
Most of the time I feel like I just look like I've gained weight, but my husband says it looks like a baby belly now...I'm not convinced, but I think it will be more obvious in the next few weeks. I tend to gain weight in my stomach first anyway, so that makes it seem even more like it's just extra flab. Oh well - I'm happy that at least I know it's a baby and not just fat
I'm somewhere in the middle. I feel like I look more fat in the mornings, but in the evenings, my belly is definitely rounder and more pregnant looking. I've always been a bigger girl, and this belly is definitely different than I've ever had - but I don't think I'm quite looking officially pregnant yet.
if i squint my eyes just right at the right time of day, i can see a round baby belly. most of the time i just look extra pudgy though. i was already 15 - 20lbs overweight before getting pg, now i just look like - more.
hoping it'll all look nice and round and preggers in the next few weeks. i'm feeling pretty self concious about it right now, to be honest.
I am bigger anyway, so I think for me it will take longer to tell. I can see some changes in my body but am def in the in between stage right now. With my other two I was smaller and belly rounded out around 16-18 weeks.

Me, too! Yesterday I thought I had a bump, but it went away after I went to the bathroom. (Sorry if TMI.) DH thought that was hysterical. It kind of was, but it also made me a little sad.

This. It also depends on what I'm wearing -- Stuff that's a little more maternity looking helps me to look pregnant.

This! My stomach is basically flat when I wake up, fatter as the day goes on. But I still don't feel like i have a bump!
I'm still in that awkward, fat-looking stage too. The weird thing is that my sister and my H keep telling me that I look really fit, like more fit than before I got pregnant, but all I see when I look in the mirror is my fat pooch. And since my fat pooch is sort of pregnancy-shaped my girlfriends keep trying to rub "the baby" and I keep telling them "Yeah, that's just my fat belly, but thanks."
At 15.5 weeks now and just looking a little flabby in the belly, like I have been drinking too much beer. (Man, am I craving a beer, too!!) At night I am bloated but it's not a baby bump. I am totally ready for the cute bump!!

LMAO I had this happen three days ago. There must have been food going through my small intestine and it was such a lump that it woke me up!!! I must have touched my belly when I rolled over and it was so noticeable I woke up. DH was out of town and I almost woke up my sister who stayed the night. I thought FOR SURE that the baby had moved farther up. Thank god I didn't wake my sister up. When I got up and walked around it left lol. I felt so stupid. I was so excited to feel the baby and it was just my f'ing food.

I'm rounding out now. It's a very sweet thing when your DH looks at you after a shower and says, "Holy cow, there's def a baby in there!!"
