2nd Trimester

"You're so little!"

So, I've really been feeling "big" lately. Big as in, I actually feel that I look very obviously pregnant, and very obviously somewhat later into my pregnancy. But, I've been seeing a lot of family members over the last few days, and they all mention that I look really small. Then I get on here and look around... and everyone anywhere near my due date has a much larger bump than me. I'm 26 weeks, and only up 9 or 10 lbs.

I know this sounds weird, but I wanna be bigger. =(

Anyone else feeling this??

  • I keep getting comments about my boobs growing and looking big...I'm winding up for a good throat punch if I hear that one again.

  • I'm ready for it to be more obvious to the world that little Allie is in there and that she will fight you when she comes out. I about got ran over by every old person at the grocery store the other day.

    be careful what you wish for! i got those same comments a few weeks ago and in the last 2 weeks i've gotten total pg tummy. now it's like every person on the train, on the elvator, in the store has to come up to me and ask me personal questions about the pregnancy. and they all give me looks when i tell them i have 3 months to go. how did i go from small to oversized in two weeks?
  • I think you look great. Be lucky you are only up that many lbs. You'll probably sprout later in your pregnancy.

    At this point, I wouldn't care, LOL.

    I've been lucky - my mom looked like she was 6 mos. when she was 3 mos. along with me. By 7 mos., she looked 11 mos. - or like there were 3 of me in there!!

    So, if I got really huge overnight, it wouldn't really bug me, LOL.?

  • I'm just hoping for another growth spurt. Plus, I know that it means nothing, but the bigger I am, the closer the birth feels! lol

  • I have def got a pregnancy belly, but I am only up 8 pounds from before pregnancy.  Everyone mentions that I am small, but that I should watch out b/c it will all catch up to me, HA HA
  • YES!!  Same thing....this past weekend at a friend's wedding, everyone kept saying "You don't even look like you're pregnant!!"....I was like, you're kidding me right?!!  However at the Ellen show last week I was seated in the "ready to pop" section....so who knows anymore...haha. 
  • Girl, you look great!

  • I've been getting the same types of comments, even though I've gained 28 pounds. Tongue Tied Unfortunately I gained more weight in my hips, thighs, and butt than I have in my belly. Wonderful.

    I am actually grateful my belly is not that big yet. I figure we will be plenty uncomfortable at the end with a giant basketball bump, I am enjoying my more manageable bump now when I can!

    Good for you only gaining 9 pounds! I am jealous!

  • I think you look great! At first i just wanted to show show show and i have not been getting any bigger at all. Im only 17 weeks but when i look at others as far along as me they are bigger.

     Now i just embrace it and tell everyone that comments that im never going to show. That i will have less to lose then :) So far im still -1 lb!!

  • I hear ya. People say to me how many months are you..........4.

    Meanwhile I feel like a whale.

    The best too is when they say, well my friend is due after you and she's HUGE!!!!! Nice. Real nice.
