Nope not pregnant just fat!

[PineCones]

That horrible moment when you see the pee stick and you realise that the weight gain has NOTHING to do with a baby and has everything to do with tons of potatoes and packs of biscuits you've been scarfing for weeks.
Anyone else feel a double dose of disappointment and self loathing recently?

Not recently but a few years ago someone asked me when the baby was due. It wasn't. I was just fat. So I told her and she was VERY embarrassed.

No self-loathing on that occasion but I usually have bags of it, especially when I look in the mirror and see a fat middle aged bag and not the lithe 25 year old that lives in my head.

Yup. Every time the witch appears I vow to lose weight this month in time for my bfp next month....I carry my weight on my stomach too :(

Guilty

I got asked this week by a colleague - are you having a baby? I said Er no where did you hear that?! She said someone told her but refused to say who so do I assume a. She heard I was on the gynae ward recently and assumed I was diffed there were no beds on the surgical ward, b. someone else assumed I was for the same reason and told her, c. There was a case of mistaken identity several pregggers girls at work, or e. the worst-- that I was because I have gained so much weight since I've been ill and not exercising and my boobs were massive because AF was due?! Nightmare.

Oh gosh. It doesn't mean you're fat

It probably just that they can't tell - I've been looking at other mums at school and thinking 'is she or not?' only because I am pg and very conscious of it. It's not that ANY of them is actually fat, it's just maybe they have a bit of a slightly rounded look just there in that particular area.

I haven't asked anyone yet though It's one of those questions when it's better to just wait and see!

Plus I am truly of you if you can get pregnant enough to be showing, and have to do a test to find out - I wish I could be preggers and not know about it!

Its just so rude! I carry my weight around the tummy, am ttc (had ivf in november, got the bfp then mc - am doing ivf 2 this month). So during this process i have really reduced my excercise so i'm feeling super wobbly in the tummy area. i dont really care as its part of my BFP plan, but there is a lady i work with who never looks me in the eye, always looks at my tummy and i'm so so sure she thinks i'm preggers. fx i will be soon, cant wait to tell her. i bet she says, wow, you've been pregnant for about 2 years!!!

Boo.

I was asked 5 weeks ago when dc4 was due... My twins were 3 weeks old and I'm still gutted...

Chin up lovely

Oh dreaming that's not nice. How lovely though to have twins. Lucky you

Thanks. 8 week old twins and a 20 month old are exhausting but I'm very lucky sure I'll realize that in a years time or so, if I'm even getting any sleep then . I'm still looking a good 20 weeks :(
