Don't like my bump

mm2299 · January 2011

I don't feel like my bump is cute. I feel like it makes me look fat. I wish I was one of those women that loved to show off my bump but every time I wear a tight shirt I feel like I look fat. Anyone else not loving the bump?

My bump looks like a gut. Ha! People at work thought I was gaining weight. They were shocked to find out I was pregnant. Made me sad... I know how you feel.

Mine is still covered by the belly fat I havent lost from DD, so now that Im showing I just look fat cause it pushed that layer of fat out further and isnt super round... not cute.

Agreed. I kind of have a lumpy bump.

Same here... I haven't quite 'popped' yet and I feel all squishy and jelly-belly. Ick. Not attractive at all. I wish I was one of those cute preggo ladies, but it just doesn't seem to be going that way.

Mine's never been cute because my boobs and my belly are always fighting for space. It just sort of looks like one big bump from my chest to my hips, even at the very end last time. It's not pretty.

I'm 5 months and barely have a bump. I still just look fat! It'll come, don't worry!

I bet that one month from now you'll like your bump better. :-)

Yeah I hate my "bump." Its not even really a bump. I seem to be gaining most of it below my belly button which is where I carried alot of fat before I even got pregnant. I haven't gained much weight or gained a bump. I just look the same fat that I was before. The only thing that happened was my boobs that were huge before got even bigger and I had to switch to a slightly larger pair of jeans. I really wish that I had lost weight before I got pregnant! I wish I had a cute bump!

Don't worry, it will pop out soon! I felt like I looked fat until I was about 22 weeks.

I'm in a love/hate relationship with my bump. Every day I love my pregnancy (even when I feel like crap). Some days I love my bump and think it is cute. Other days I feel fat and hate that my boobs are competing for space so I look fatter.

I'm still just squishy and no one suspects pregnancy.

Still have a B instead of a D.

Same lumpy boat here! I want to feel like I look pg. Ppl say I do but I just don't see it!

Are you in maternity pants yet? Wearing them made a huge difference for me.

I was overweight in my childhood so I have a flab of skin above my belly button and now it sticks out more than the bump below the belly button so I look lumpy and weird and hide it as much as possible Embarrassed

That's how mine is but the maternity pants make me look more rounded.

My problem is that there is no place to get maternity here. I need to go at least 45 minutes away to get to the nearest Motherhood store and there is no other store closer that has maternity that will fit me.

Mine didn't look like a bump until about 21-22w. It just looked like a gut + muffin top!

Maternity pants make it look better than my regular pants, even though I can still fit my regular pants.

I feel like a whale- depending on my mood I walk around singing "baby beluga"

google123 · January 2011

The same for me! I'm only 14weeks, so I wouldn't have a huge bump anyways, but since I had a layer of fat already, I just look like I have a beer belly now. Definitely not cute!!

To echo what some of the others said, maternity pants will sort of round it out, esp the full panel style. When I wear those, my bump looks waaaaaay cuter.
