Re: HDBD 2/15
16 weeks! Shows up much better in maternity clothes.
16 weeks tomorrow. I've officially graduated from "blump" to "bump." A blump I can squish into regular jeans and have a muffin top, but this bump won't let me button some of my less-stretchy pants anymore.
im 12 weeks and embarrassed to be "showing". I just want to hide it all still. With my 17mos old I showed so much later. Now I feel like a fatty to be so much bigger his time already. I work with a couple girls that were sooooo tiny with their second and third kids so I keep comparing myself to them and thinking my coworkers are going to be like DAYUM, you are clearly letting yourself go this time around. I need to get out of my own damn head and just embrace it. I'm so self conscious with this pregnancy.
And, omg. You are still very thin. Please don't be hard on yourself. I get where your feelings are coming from as I've always been petite, but yes, we just have to embrace it.

weeks! All you got mamas are way ahead of me! I busted out maternity pants for work yesterday already:( it's so hard not to compare to other women. These cute all belly mamas make me so mad! I gain in my thighs and arms when pregnant too so I'm already up like 16 lbs and you are only supposed to gain like 5 in the first tri. What. The. Heck. The pic doesn't show my giant ass, lol!

14wks 3days. I thought this flowy top would cover my belly, but it actually accentuates it lol. I haven't told anyone at work so I'm wearing a cardigan right now.

ETA: the outtie belly button gets even further out during the day!
@dmbfan46835 you look amazing and I feel insecure like you as well. I am 13w4d with my third and just don't feel like letting it all hang out, but after 3pm I feel huge. My second pregnancy I didn't need to tell anybody until 20 weeks and I had stopped running as that was after 3 losses. This time I am running 20+ miles a week and nursing a two year old - I feel like I should be so much thinner. That being said I'm still not up to weight I was at the start of #2 so I feel some comfort in respecting the blimp for what it is. Also, this is my big boy (I've only had girls). and he is making me hungry and i'm okay with it. Sorry for the monologue!
@SpotConlon I go through the same issues getting dressed for work every day!
@PinkPrincessPiper @mokay19 @littlebug2010 you guys look great!
finding a mirror in my house has been a work in progress. And I'm only home in the dark these days!

Baby #3 on the way due 8/19/17
ETA: this is one of my first times showing my post partum belly to anyone other than DH. I still have loose skin in the front of my belly and stretch marks on my hips from my birth last February. I'm kind of thankful this baby is smoothing out all my loose skin for now but terrified of all the work I will need to do after this one is born.
@middy411 you also look fab. An 11 month old? I didn't even get my pregnant bod back til I weaned at 12 months. I can't even imagine what I would look like pregnant that quick. You look amazing.
@hupp0013 i love that you busted out your mat clothes at 7 weeks! That's awesome! At least you were comfy. I'm about to limit myself to just salads at work for lunch. I need to cut this shit off now, Lol
Thanks for all the encouragement ladies. I was having a fat self conscious pity party day so this all helped tremendously to see you all struggle with the same stuff. I love this birth month. Anyone who says we are snarky or rude, is a dumb shit. This is the best most welcoming and caring board I have seen. Love you all!

They hold the girls up nicely for that push up effect as im not too busty (regularly a 32B/C) but the adjustment on the straps does slip throughout the day sometimes.
