Vent about the fat/sorta showing stage

I feel like I'm showing now, but it's a lot sooner than I showed previously. I can still sort of hide the bump if I wear big sweaters or sweatshirts, but otherwise I have a bump. This time I feel like it's a lot squishier since the baby isn't that big yet (with my first two kids, by the time I showed the baby was big enough that it was all baby and a nice firm belly, not squishy/fat like now). Anyway, bottom line is that I don't feel cute-pregnant this time, I just feel fat and squishy even though there's a pregnant bump there.

Anyway, yesterday we were with DH's family all day for our niece's baptism and then to celebrate Christmas with that side of the family. I already felt self-conscious about how I look but I was hoping that someone would comment about the fact that you can already see a baby bump. Nope. Not a word. They gushed over SIL's bump via skype (she's about 6 weeks ahead of me) but said nothing about mine. It just made me feel like maybe it really doesn't look at all like a baby bump and just fat. Maybe it shouldn't have mattered, but the fact that they were so excited to see hers really hurt me. I can't wait to have a better bump just so I can feel better about myself again!

    I wouldn't get too upset about it. Girls here get upset if someone does comment and the next minute they're upset if someone doesn't comment. Everyone's hormones are a mess. I also think that a lot of us are showing more to ourselves then to other people. I think I see more of a bump on myself than other people see on me.

    If they did notice, they might try to touch it. It's the worst when people expect it to be nice and firm and it's all squishy! IMO if you want to look more pregnant than fat, break out your maternity clothes.

    I definitely have a little bump now, but I hated that bloat bump stuff. I was the opposite of you--I did not want anyone to point out my "bump" because at that point it was just bloat and I felt gross!! Don't worry, you will have the cute bump before you know it :)

    This exactly!
