I'M HUGE! OOhh lord.

Cdienst · January 2012

Im 5'2" & normally around 135lbs.. I AM HUGE right now uhhhh im so big I do not fit into any pants I owned previously-- all maternity. But I dont look pregnant yet, just have a ginormous belly. Self confidence is out the door. I asked my husband today if I looked bigger to him and he said, "Yeah your stomach but not anywhere else"

It's not uncommon for smaller girls to show earlier. I am up a couple of pounds and have been "showing" for over a week now. It's going to happen, so why the sad face? Embrace it! There's a baby in there and your organs are shifting to make room! I found some cute maternity jegging and tights and have been feeling pretty cute and comfy with my new belly.

My belly is rounding and my muffin top is expanding but I'm only up 1lb from where I found out I was pregnant (I dropped 2 then gained 3). I get sad when I look in the mirror because I always wants that super skinny all belly so cute round look, but at the same time I just have to be happy because that is my baby in there, even if I look awful, thats not the important part.

Cheer up! I'm sure you still look fantastic! And you're growing your babyyyyy!!! You're doing a wonderful thing right now. Appreciate yourself for it.

I am sporting quite a belly today as well!!! My belly seems to know what to do so it's mostly round, but there is still some extra padding on the sides which is not so awesome. I'm only up 1-2lbs but it looks and feels much bigger.

Don't worry, the further along you get the rounder it will get. Nothing is uterus yet and that is typically where the roundness will start to happen. So don't feel doomed yet!!!

I feel huge too, I was fairly thin prepregnancy, 5'5" and about 135-ish lbs. It took me quite a while to get to that point and be happy that I finally got to wear a small size. I'm up about 3-4 lbs now, but in pants 2 sizes bigger from when I was heavier. And of course as the day goes on, the belly gets bigger. It's just all bloat right now. And I feel like I don't look pregnant yet, just like I'm getting pudgy again. I can't wait for my real bump and for the bloat to lessen!

Oh I'm with you!!! I am 5ft 3 and weigh 119lbs now.... I was 116 before I got my BFP. I figure 3lbs in 13 wks is not bad. However...... I feel like a big fat whale which I am still trying to get used to. Even my dad told me last night that I looked pregnant! So much for not showing early!

I am 5'2 and was 120lbs before getting KU. I am down to 115lbs and I still have a belly.. its crazy!

With my first, it took me a while to be ok with my bump. This time I'm already embracing it lol!

abbzy85 · January 2012

I'm not fitting into any of my clothes, either. I'm almost 10 weeks pg and I feel so ginormous. I was never a person with a flat stomach, but I feel like it has completely rounded back out since having my twins. I'm also keeping my pregnancy a secret until 13 weeks. It's really awful and I hate getting dressed every day.

UGH me too I'm 5'4'' 115 and I went from having a flat tummy to looking like I ate way too much. Bye bye size 3 pants.

With DS I had a hard time embracing my bump at the "in between stage" But once you look more pregnant you will love it.

byrne15 · January 2012

I'm 5'7'' and weighed 130 lbs when I got pg with ds. I didn't show until 24 weeks or so.

This time, I had a starting weight of 140 lbs and never stopped looking 3 months pg, so obviously I am already showing!

CLeigh03 · January 2012

I'm with ya! At 5'9 and 118 pounds to start, I have no option but to show early. I've had people commenting since about 10 weeks. I love it! Bring on the belly.

I was never super skinny to begin with. I was always of average weight for my height, due to playing soccer in college and having a lot of muscle. However, I have gained about 10 pounds since getting pregnant (thank you snacking and constant nausea!) and am beginning to just feel gross. I used to start the day with a flat stomach that ended up bloated and making me look 5 months pregnant by night....now it seems my stomach starts the day with a little roundness (as if it is beginning to take some form). I always hear people not showing until later in their first pregnancies, but I think I may be one of the ones who shows a little earlier...and I cant wait! At least then I wont feel so embarassed about feeling "fat" and will feel more pregnant than anything.

Oh and about jeans or my old clothes-I wont even attempt to try them on anymore...I dont think I can cope with that battle. Right now I wear a lot of comfy clothes (thanks to working from home) and plan to break out my maternity jeans super bowl sunday for all the parties. By then, everyone will know we are expecting anyway as I am making the official announcement next week!

I am right there with you! I was feeling upset about this all morning. I am 5'6 130 normally and I feel huge right now. I was only up 3 lbs until Friday and now I am up 5lbs!!! I work out 5 days a week and eat healthy I dont know what the deal is... the only thing I can think of is I am not going to the restroom... wonderful constipation! Hopefully that is to blame... I have heard this in between stage is the hardest.

I know there is a baby in there and I am happy about it but I just want to show already so I dont just look like i ate to much or packed on a few pounds!

No matter how much you work out ot how healthy you eat, your body has its own ideas right now. Trying to fight it or getting upset about it is futile. Just keep making good decisions and your weight will increase as it should.

castroder · January 2012

well, unlike all you ladies I started this pregnancy with more than a little padding im 5'10" and I weigh over 200. Already stressing about my weight. Was on a great eating and exercise plan( I have always been active and I hate what I did to myself). So when I got BFP all that went out the window b/c I was diagnosed with placenta previa...modified bed rest. Sorry for the rant I didn't realize that was in there anyways I have a huge belly and I just look more and more fat. terrified I wont start to show till later. Oh well People at work have been commenting on my weight...boo on them and what I let it do to self confidence.
