Is my tummy meant to be firm by now?

21 + 5. Growing bigger and everything meant to be "normal" but tummy still really soft. With my friends they all had firm round tummies by about 4 months.

Means I just look a bit fat rather than pregnant Sad.

Anyone else the same? Feeling a bit self conscious at a time when very hormoanal anywhy. Not looking forward to Christmas party dresses!

Well, mine is round, but still soft when I'm sitting down. But, have heart, I think my bump has only just started looking like a proper bump (rather than fat) in the last few weeks (I'm 23 wks). So I bet by Christmas you'll look great.

Fingers crossed! Really looking forward to looking properly pregnant!

You get that awful feeling when you tell someone your pregnant and they say something like "oh" before congratulations. Makes you think they were struggling to decide if you were or not! (probably reading too much into that but then I am pregnant so a bit touchy Wink.)

In my first I didn't look properly pregnant til about 28 weeks. Could have easily got away with just looking a bit fat :/

I wouldn't worry too much. Make the most of it before you have a rock hard huge bump that gets in the way of everything!

I get that on and off to be honest as sometimes she's near the front, sometimes she's nearer my back (22+4) but a bit flabby sometimes and I feel like I must just be really fat and she's not even taking up any of that room.

Thank you. Sounds like it might just take a bit longer.

Mine seems to be a bit like the last post too (sometimes bigger than others).

Maybe should get one of those T-Shirts saying "baby on board" or something?! Wink
