Anyone else not ready to show off the bump?

Tally879 · April 2013

Sooo, I'm struggling with the comments over how cute my bump is. I do think my bump is cute, but I hate when people comment on it. I don't like being the center of attention anyways and I guess I didn't realize how bad I am until Easter. My entire family was harping on me to show everyone my stomach yesterday. I kept my jacket on the entire holiday. I have no problem with H looking and touching it, but I'm really struggling with other people. Anyone else struggling too?

I like the attention my bump gets but if everyone were asking to see my bare belly I would feel very uncomfortable. I have stretch marks already and I'm embarrassed by them. Only my mom and DH have seen my bare belly, and the OB of course.

People would get punched if they asked to see my bare belly. There is no way I can cover this thing up clothed.

I feel the exact same way, and didn't really expect to. My Grandma was talking about it, in a nice way of course, but it just made me feel weird. I'm thinking it's because I still feel like it looks more like chub than baby?

oh no no, not my bare belly! that would never happen. I just refused to take off my jacket so they couldn't see anything. I had a t shirt and cardigan underneath.

I don't have a bump, just weird bumpy fat. It's not cute, and it's embarrasing. I feel like people are looking at me, waiting for a cute bump and it's just icky looking right now. It bugs me every day.

I'm only 5 feet tall so there was no where for baby to go, I feel like I look super pregnant at 15 weeks and I shouldn't, I guess maybe that's why I'm so self conscious about it

I completely understand!!! I hate it. Not that I'm ashamed of it, but i just don't want to show my pudgy little belly to everybody or have it be the focus of a conversation. I'm glad I'm not alone in this.

Definitely not. I'm 5'10, FTM, 14 weeks (due 9/30), and not really showing. I still fit in most of my pants (I think, I've worn dresses for the last few days...) and am starting to phase out tighter shirts until I'm ready to tell the boss about the new

Yep me too. I really thought I would be fine with people touching my belly. I'm usually fine with contact, but it really is weird when people just start feeling your barely there belly. I'm only 17 weeks ftm. Please. It is still bloat and fat to me. I do

My "bump" just looks like chub right now so I'm definitely trying to hide it under hoodies and loose fitting tops. I also dread the day when people try to start rubbing up on it. I'm not a touchy feely person and really don't even like hugging people exce

I am horribly self conscious about my bump!(or lack there of). I'm look slightly bigger, but still feel it's mostly bloat, and that I just look fat. Since I told the lady I work with, every time she sees me she says she can see my bump growing! Honestly i

I hate comments about my belly. I always thought that it was weird when people were uncomfortable when their family touched their stomachs, but now I completely get it. My brother will come up and rub my stomach and it just creeps me out. Which is weir
