Sometimes I feel like I'm faking my belly. . .

in 2nd Trimester

It just seems large for 17 weeks (not that I know what size it should be).  It doesn't feel like it's really my body and I have a hard time imagining that it will be bigger.  I guess in my head whenever I imagined being pregnant I always just thought I'd look pregnant instantly, I never thought about the growing part! 

Those are my ramblings. . . feel free to contribute your own. . .

    Picture so we can judge too?  Mine feels like it's not sticking out, just going side-to-side.  It's weird: I just look fat.

    Agreed.  There are some days that I look at myself and think "Geez, when am I going to look pregnant"  And then there are days like today where I think I look like a blimp and people must be blind to not notice.

    I feel like mine is bigger or smaller depending on the bloat that day right now.  It makes me laugh.  I know what you mean about not thinking about the growing part!

    I had a coworker ask me today if I was sure it wasn't twins cause I'm so big...but I'm thrilled to have a big round bump!

    You need to post a pic of you!

    I feel the same way as you. It's hard to imagine that it's actually a baby pushing your belly out.I think my fat is just rounded out because my uterus is pushing it out from underneath. If I didn't have that top layer, I don't think I'd look nearly as pregnant. And sometimes I wonder how much of it's baby, and how much of it is really just because I've been eating a lot of really terrible things! Haha! Especially when I see how tiny some of the girls on here are at 20-24 weeks!

    Some of you look truly amazing for your number of weeks!

    I'll have to get a picture tomorrow.  I have it on my camera but nothing to transfer it to my computer at my office.

    I feel huge too for 25 weeks, but all my friends think i'm "tiny"....

    I think there just comparing me to themselves when they were pregnant.
