When did you start looking pregnant and not just fat? I'm 15+2 and looking pretty porky round the middle but fat not really pregnant. X

I'm a big girl Lula, most people said I only just now look pregnant and that I was carrying the baby all round. Don't worry about not showing or showing so long as the baby is healthy why does it matter?

Well it matters a bit with how I feel about myself. Also struggling to relax and think everything is ok with the baby, so would quite like a bump.

I only got mine a couple of weeks back and I'm only 6 weeks to go. If your feeling really low talk to your midwife, but mine said no such thing as a fat pregnant woman. As for relaxing go do something you enjoy or a hot bubble bath. Hope this helps?

I felt like I looked fat rather than pregnant until around 18 weeks, but it depended a bit on what I was wearing.

Took until 20 weeks to actually look pregnant rather than just fat. Now I look MORE fat all over, but have an obviously pregnant stomach.
