Thin skinned chubby momma

torriej27 · May 2015

ok so I am on the chubby size (size 13/14 pants not pregnant) and I am only 7 weeks pregnant. Everyone keeps asking me if I'm due soon. It really hurts my feelings that people must think I'm pregnant all the time.

People suck. When people ask me if I'm pregnant, which for the last year or so for me is always a toss up lol I just smile and say, Nope just fat.

Trust me they won't ask twice

It's not the size, it's the shape. As your uterus expands and the bloat all gets pushed up, it gives your belly a more round shape. I always get a lot of "Wow! I didn't think you'd be so big so soon! Imagine how huge you'll be in a few more months." Jeez, thanks?

Yes I get it all the time! I actually lied to a cashier this week on how far along I am

I was so embarrassed to tell her I was only 8 1/2 weeks.

gracefulruby33 · May 2015

People shouldn't ask if you are pregnant unless they physically see a baby coming out of your vag. The end. People suck, don't let it get to you.

I'm definitely on the heavier side. I gained a lot of weight over the past year. People ask me if I'm pregnant and I just tell them, "no, I'm just fat!"

Of course, sometimes my feelings get hurt… But in general, I am sure that they go home feeling much worse than I do. Stay strong sweetheart :-) soon you will have a nice baby bump

I wore a dress the other day and I looked like my sister did right before my nephew was born. Don't feel bad. You are not alone! I did tell dh, the first time his mom says something about my weight, we are never speaking to her again. (she doesn't know about LO yet.)

People suck! I'm sorry

lalg28 · May 2015

Yeah I get thay. I also get from the people who know I'm already pregnant...oh you're overweight so you're gonna have problems, I bet you'll have to have a c section. Whatever. Ignore them.

Lindsay4984 · May 2015

They have not learned proper etiquette then. You never ask a woman if she's pregnant. Even if you are 99% positive she is. Just never. Don't let their stupidity get to you. I'm sure you look beautiful.

Opinions are like butt-holes. Everyone's got one and sometimes, they down right stink. *hugs*

I know words can be hurtful, but just remember how strong and beautiful your body is...you're creating new life. Everyone else can suck it.

I would literally stab someone in the throat if they said this to me!

@ssinnwell I wanted to lol

I have been dealing with a thyroid problem for the past 3 years which has caused me to gain a lot of weight. That being said, the weight gain was spread around evenly so I didn't look like I'd gained 80 pounds. Now I am 200 pounds and 7 weeks along but the bloat has literally gone only to my stomach making me looking like I'm 5 months lol I don't care what anyone says though. My husband still thinks I'm sexy and I don't mind that I look pregnant already. I embrace it and rock my maxi dresses :-) I've accepted the fact that I'm gonna be one of those big ole pregnant women that looks like she's gonna burst at 8 months!

I just wear a shirt that's baggy and one of my new maternity shirt that say "don't judge me I'm eating for two" whenever I'm having a really bloated day. Fits with SO's she's eating for 2, I'm drinking for 3 shirt

I was chubby with endometriosis and abdominal issues to start with, I know it's bloat but I pretend it a bump at least till I get my real one

It's bloating though too. I'm a size 2 and people already assume I'm five months in. Because bloating + constipation = looking more pregnant than you are.

Goldsgirl9 · May 2015

So easy to say but don't let it get to you. People are jerks. I've dealt with weight issues my entire life and I'm on the heavier end now so I feel your pain. Every day I battle with the image in the mirror. Skinny or overweight it just doesn't matter. What matters is if your healthy and being healthy for the baby. Like I said, try not to let people's ignorance get to you.

powellgirl · May 2015

I'm a chubby too and it's getting very hard to disguise my pregnant looking bloat. I'm definitely not ready for the world to know but it probably isn't hard to figure out lol

Seleyna · May 2015

I work in a restaurant, and sometimes I'm actually get to use my Key (Culinary Professional) job class. I'm not a tiny woman either. Proportionate, but after LO I've been stuck around a 15/16-17/18, which is depressing since I was in a 12 when I was pregnant with him. I literally had only found out the week before when I had some ignorant bastard have the balls to ask me if I was pregnant?! My response was, "Yes. I am. I also only just had a baby 8 months ago so I still haven't lost all of the baby weight from him, and we only just found out. Thanks." And I was rude about it it. He just blissfully smiled and said, "I have that sense!" I wanted to punch some sense right into this thick-ass skull. Thanks for telling me that I'm fat, idiot.

Oh well. At least at 9, almost 10 weeks, I'm okay with looking like I'm pregnant again

torriej27 · May 2015

Thank you ladies! All of your comments have litterally made me lol! It's nice to hear that there are women out there with my same struggle. I love my curves and so does my husband. All of these haters as I like to call them are just jealous they are not carrying the rockstar I am:) You ladies have made my day so all I can say with gratitude is, keep rockin' your bloat till the baby bump shows for real!

navyblueladybug · May 2015

I would talk about the lack of pooping and gas if someone asked me... People don't like to talk about poop. Make them so uncomfortable that they will never make that mistake again! Eg...

Some idiot: "How far along are you?"
One of us: "I'm only X weeks along but man, I'm so constipated! The gas is unreal... Constant gas pains and cramping. The bloat is unreal! I haven't taken a crap in 3 days!! Has that ever happened to you...?"

They'll drop the subject pretty quick I imagine
