Be honest with me. Fat or Pregnant?
I can't hide this anymore! I've run out of "too big of sweaters" to wear to work. My pants don't fit. My coat is snug. I think I need to come out of the pregnancy closet at work. Thankfully my boss knows already, but I just am not ready to tell everyone else. I know I need to go shopping, but I'm only 11 weeks! Anyone else this big!? Do I just look like I've eaten too many doughnuts or is this definitely a baby belly?
I hope this picture isn't huge.

Re: Be honest with me. Fat or Pregnant?
I think from my view up above, I just look fat.
Maybe it's because I lost a bunch of weight before I got pregnant and I don't want people to think I'm gaining it back. Although, I will be haha.
Aww, thank you. Maybe I should just let my boss tell everyone like she has been dying too..LOL.
I feel the same way, but total honesty: you look 100% baby bump and not fat at all. I think the top view just looks so fatty to all of us, especially because our stomachs were flat and we could see our legs and feet before
I was thinking of doing the same post. I look to be exactly the same size. Glad to know I'm not alone.
Agreed. Super cute belly!

So funny! Just this morning I texted my mom, sister, and a few good friends with a picture exactly like that asking the exact same thing. They all voted "bump," so I'm gonna go with it (because I'm sure they're all completely unbiased!!).
And I definitely vote "pregnant" for you too!!! Yay for showing!!!!!!!!!
Since your tummy is so flat between boobs and bump, you definitely look pregnant, not fat.
My tummy is one continuous arc from bra band to crotch. I think I just look chubby.
Im having the same problem!! I have no problem gaining weight and having a bump, but right now I just look like Im putting on the pounds!! I lost 70 lbs pre-pregnancy, and no one at my work knows about this pregnancy, so they are all probably thinking I gave up on my diet!
LMAO!!!! If you think you're fat, then I consider myself to be a beached whale right now! YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN' YUMMYMUMMY BELLY AMAZING!!!
But yes, I totally get it when you say you think you look fat just by looking at yourself, especially looking down - that's how I feel too. My DH along with the rest of our family and friends have officially committed me to the looney-bin, b/c they think I'm nuts for thinking the way I am, and say that I have a "totally-barely-there cute yummymummy bump."
I think that now, as the bloat is slowly starting to go away, and a small bump is slowly starting to show in its place, my view on my body is starting to become more positive, and I'm slowly starting to "embrace this tummy badge of honour" as my mom calls it. But OH MY!!! My boobs are something out of this world, and that's a totally different story! LOL
I say pregnant. Congrats!
