15 weeks and huge
I am 15 weeks tomorrow. I am plus size but my belly never looked like this before but its hard to say whats fat and whats baby. In maternity or baby doll shirts I look 6 months pregnant. Without the maternity/baby doll style I just look more huge than ever before. I feel weird looking so pregnant when I feel I shouldn't be so big yet.
I am eating fairly healthy, my doc is not worried about my weight, and I hardly gained anything yet.
Older folks (they don't remember when its normal to look this big?) and folks that have not had a baby ever/or recently seem to think I look normal and pregnant - should I just go with it and look pregnant or hide it?

Re: 15 weeks and huge
I bet you do just look normal and pregnant. I'm not plus-size, but I remember thinking that I was so huge at 19w, I was embarrassed to post pics on Facebook. Now that I'm 37w, I look back on those old pics and think how cute I looked, and miss those days!
You say that you've gained a healthy amount of weight so far. That's the important thing. You're pregnant, happy about it, and people are happy for you... so flaunt it!

Re: 15 weeks and huge
I really dislike this stage as well. It such a weird questionable time of the pregnancy. You know your pregnant but you wonder if everyone else just thinks you put on some pounds. I FINALLY feel like I clearly look pregnant and I am almost 26 weeks. Ive maybe felt this way for the past couple weeks. I would go with the "I look pregnant" as long as your ok with people knowing. You will feel better once your belly is a bit more defined.

Re: 15 weeks and huge
I know the feeling.. right away in the first 9 weeks my overweight stomach stuck out like 5 months preggo.. Its all the gas and bloating that just stuck out my fat, I can't wait till I can say its actually baby..

Re: 15 weeks and huge
Go with it and look pregnant! It's a strange awkward period but now at 32 weeks I'd love to go back to it instead of looking like I swallowed a watermellon!

Re: 15 weeks and huge
Thanks everyone. I went to my friend's house after that last post. It didn't help when her mom asked if I was carrying twins. I never thought I'd be bothered by a comment like that but it really bothered me!
