2nd Trimester

anyone 15 weeks and look pregnant???

ok, so the posts about people not looking pregnant at all are depressing me.  I'm 15 1/2 weeks, and i definitely have a belly.  some of it is still bloat i think, but i definitely look pregnant and have been wearing solely maternity clothes for at least 2 weeks at this point.  i have only gained about 5-6 lbs., but i feel like a moose after reading all the posts about people who don't look pregnant at all.

  • I have a little bit of a belly, I think some of it's bloat still though...I'll find out how much weight I've gained tomorrow!

    that's what i'm going to be telling myself.  that i had a flat tummy... :-)

    i also have a very short torso so i think that might have something to do with it too....

  • I think my bump has been getting visibly bigger the last couple of weeks.  Today I actually wore a fitted sweater and the girls at work commented on how cute my bump is.  I am pretty tiny normally, so for me any bump is visible.  I can still tell by the end of the day that I am a little bloated, but the bump is definitely still there in the morning (not like in first tri when it was gone when I woke up).

    Not just you hun, I have been wearing a be-band now for about 3 weeks because none of my pants fit.  Everyone's body is different and will show differently at different stages.

  • to me I can tell, to others I am just fat. I have been in maternity pants about 2 weeks now, maybe a little less, but regular shirts are still fine
  • Hell, I looked pregnant before even TTC!  I'm sure I'll be a freakin' watermelon by the time I'm 15wks.

  • I definatley have a belly. It is becoming more and more noticable. I am in the same boat with gaining 5-6 pds and feeling somewhat big already.

    I won't even tell you how much weight I have gained but it's more than 6 pounds.  And I definitely look pregnant.  I'm pretty sure I'm birthing a small gorilla at this point.

  • ME! But I'm only 13 weeks!!!

    I'm really short (4' 11") and I think that's why, LO's HB is found right under my belly button on our doppler. I was wearing my bella band and dresses until yesterday when I wore maternity pants for the first time. They were so comfortable and I'm not turning back.

    I am still 5 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight.
  • I def. have a bump at this point and it's as hard as a rock. I just starting wearing maternity jeans but not shirts yet. You should read the book "Hot Mama," it really makes you feel better about having a belly!

  • I just feel fat right now. If I wear something fitted I'm sure you could tell.

  • I've had a bump since about 14 weeks and it's definitely a good size now.  Don't be upset!  Embrace the belly!  Just think that we'll miss touching it when we've had the little one's.  :)

  • Apparently I look pregnant.  I think it's because I have recently visited people I only see every few months, so it's noticable to them.  Like, last week I was at dinner with my boss and a coworker and told my coworker we were expecting a baby, thinking I was announcing a big surprise.  She looked at me, completely deadpan, and said, "of course you are, you're pregnant," like she had been told.  She said she knew the second she saw me, for the first time in 3 months.  The next day I met 2 customers and one who has known me for years literally dropped her jaw and gaped, staring at my belly, and kept looking up at my face, expecting me to say something.  And I've mentioned how people on FB have told me they could tell I'm pregnant from photos, but those photos are just of me looking chubby and bloated.  The baby was the size of a blueberry in them. 
  • Everyone is different. I didn't gain a lb until 16 weeks (and was still in all my normal clothes) and now at 23 weeks I feel HUGE and am up 15 lbs.

  • Yes I look pregnant too

     

    ETA: I have only gained 5 lbs so far in this pregnancy -- so it isn't that I have gained too much either!

    Okay. This totally put a smile on my face :-)  

  • I'm there with ya, but this is my second.  I've had stranger comments too so I know it's not just in my head.  It's been even more noticable in the past week.  So far gain is still under pre-pg weight by a couple lbs which is a completely different story then with DD where I was up about 10 lbs at this point.
  • I'm the smallest person I know, before my pregnancy I weighed in at 98lbs. I'm 15 weeks and I've already gained 11lbs so don't feel bad! I had a belly when I was 8 or 9 weeks
  • I look it.  My co workers have made comments the past few days about my belly.  All of my  pants are too tight and I have to wear my Be-Band.  I am trying to hold off on the maternity clothes, but I don't know how much longer I can go.  I will probably go shopping in the next 2 weeks.  This is not bloat.  It is like this from the time I get up all day long.  I love it.

  • I've gained 5-6 pounds too and I FEEL huge. I know a lot of it is in my head, but I definitely have a little bump going on. I suppose it doesn't help that I'm only 5'1. Indifferent

    I feel like maternity clothes are right around the corner.

  • Those of us who don't look pregnant are, in some cases, really struggling. I would give anything to be in your shoes. To see you complaining that you are pregnant and look it is hard to believe.
