Anyone's stomach farther out than their boobs?

SFbride31 · November 2010

OMG, I know I just ate dinner, but I looked in the mirror and it's huge! It's just bloat at this point (only 9 weeks), but jeeze louis.

I am not having an easy time with the body changes. Anyone else in this boat?

Hahaha yes, considering I'm an A cup, I'd say my bloat goes out farther than my boobs. I went from a 25 inch waist to well...a lot more than that and I've only gained 2 lbs. I keep reminding myself the baby will fill it out and then I won't care about how my waist looks.

It is tough to look in the mirror and not see the body you're used to. Being a runner made me acutely aware of how my body moved, looked and felt at all times, so this is a very new experience. I wouldn't change it for the world, but that doesn't mean it's not hard to look in the mirror and be a little thrown off at the changes my body's starting to go through.

Just try to be healthy and embrace what's happening. I think it'll be easier when we all have real bumps and don't just feel kind of lumpy and frumpy. Though apparently a lot of the girls on here still look like their old selves at 12 weeks, so I'm a little jealous the Bloat Monster hasn't left me alone at all.

I feel you! before we got pregnant i was finaly starting to loose some weight i wanted off, and as soon as we got there, my tummy came right back. its never been flat, but its amazing how, even eating healthy, i'm getting fat accumulations in the oddest places. mainly my tummy (i know its just bloat right now) and there are times it feels much bigger than my no DD chest...

I'm an A cup as well, so yes, my "bump" is definetly out farther than my stomach. I'm having a hard time with the changes, because I used to be so active, at the gym almost 7 days a week, and watched what I ate. Now I feel like I'm lazy because I don't go as often, and when I go I can't do what I'm used to. I've been trying to eat healthy, but right now my body wants food all the time, and skipping meals isn't an option. Hopefully I will feel better in a few weeks when there is an actual bump and not just bloat.

Sometimes it is!! I'm little on top, so it doesn't take much

not yet, but I'm a D and these stupid things keep getting bigger, so probably won't for a while!

Andreabks · November 2010

i know how you feel. of all parts of me that i didn't need to grow, those were it. i'm expecting E-EE by the time i'm nursing at this point, and at 5'1" that not incredibly apealing.

I'm a DD (well perhaps bigger according to the way my bras now fit) and yes, my belly is sticking out farther than my boobs. Indifferent

I woke up this morning and it's gone down some, I feel better. i was telling my husband "I want a bump, not just this chubby stuff." I'll get over it soon hopefully, it's just an adjustment period.

I'm right there with you! Being small chested doesn't help. I'm PROBABLY an A, although I've always been in denial and where a B-cup bra with shape.

When are these girls supposed to get big anyway!!! LOL My girls are starting to grow, but not nearly as fast as my waist is!!

You are not alone. I'm a C-cup but my belly is getting fat fast (I haven't put a single pound on, either). Boo. I feel sooooo blessed to be pg but I have struggled w/my appearance as well. I'm not a vain person, but it's tough to just feel chubby. I am excited for an actual bump, as I think that will be much easier to deal w/ than feeling fat. I'm glad to see that I'm in good company w/all of you ladies who feel the same way Smile

Yep I'm a c cup and on bloat days my stomach definitely sticks out further, which lately is most days.
