I'm 12 weeks and was overweight before the BFP. I've technically been showing for 34 years!!! 
MYOB you skinny b!@tch!
I am scared I won't have that cute little pregnant belly look... :(

Re: Coworker just told me it loks like I'm showing...
You will - don't worry!!
Tell people to SHUT UP - they tend to feel it is ok to be rude to preggos!!
Tell her you are prego what is her excuse - that will shut her up

Re: Coworker just told me it looks like I'm showing...
People are so dumb! I absolutely hate it when people comment on my belly (whether to say it is big, small, etc.). I don't just walk up to random people and start commenting on their size, so why should pregnant women have to endure this daily discussion about their bodies. It is so annoying!
Sorry you have to deal with this!

Re: Coworker just told me it looks like I'm showing...
Yeah... Always loved that! I work with a girl who has been rubbing my belly since she found out I was pregnant at about 12 weeks. I was like, " yeah, you're rubbing my fat right now, but thanks for making me feel like a fat slob!"

Re: Coworker just told me it looks like I'm showing...
Sounds like my MIL. She told me it looked like my thighs were "a little bigger already." How far along was I? 6 weeks!!!
Dont listen to people.

OMGGG me too, I'm 13 weeks now and when people try to rub my belly I say "you're actually just rubbing ice cream right now"

Re: Coworker just told me it looks like I'm showing...
People seriously just don't have a clue how to speak to pregnant woman. The things I've heard I still can't believe sometimes. I tell people off now and it seems to work.
I just don't get it, you would never ever comment on someones weight, size or shape normally so what makes it ok to say it to a pregnant woman?!?
And seriously brush it off and don't worry, you will have that cute preggo belly!!!!!

Re: Coworker just told me it looks like I'm showing...
I guess I'm not the norm here, but it doesn't sound like something that I would be offended by. I was about 15 pounds overweight before getting pregnant, and since finding out, have been eating too much and now my stomach is popping out, but it isn't baby yet. If someone said that to me, I would be happy, I love being pregnant and can't wait until I'm showing.
I would just take what people say with a grain of salt, and don't let anyone bother you!
