11 Weeks and feeling huge!

I know this is the smallest thing to be worried about throughout your pregnancy but I am just wanting to know how others are dealing with the same issue.
I am 11 weeks tomorrow and I would say I look as though I am about 6 months pregnant, although when I weigh myself i actually haven't put on any weight. I am 5'5 and 9 stone 12 which is the heaviest I have ever been but I literally feel like a whale. I have never been 'toned' but as soon as i fount out I was pregnant I have had a little pop belly. Last week my stomach has just gone HUGE and I mean huge, its started from underneath my boobs and is rock solid. Obviously I know its just bloat as the baby is the size of a pea but it is getting really noticeable and harder to hide. I showed a photo of my stomach to one of my boyfriends friends who is a nurse and her words were 'yeah, you are just fat!!' which i was mortified about but this is what I think everyone else is thinking! I know it sounds really really self centred and I know I am going to get huge but I am just wondering how everyone is dealing with their body changing so much smile

I'm in the same boat but I'm not showing or have any bump but I'm usually around 10 stone,can eat what I like and I'm confident with my body. I didn't embrace my last pregnancy I wore black throughout,this time I'm gonna make sure I wear pretty dresses and show of my bump xx

The bloating will ease off after the first trimester, don't worry! The baby is pretty low in your pelvis until about 20 weeks so you'll probably find that you look smaller again before the actual baby bump comes along. Doesn't mean you are going.to be enormous!

I am also huge don't worry , I'm 10 weeks and can cover my bump with oversized shirts but when im home looking down I have a definite belly. I also have moments where I worry about putting on loads of weight as Im curvy but have a flat stomach ( my saving grace) I know it seems vain and you feel bad for saying it but I think it's just a shock seeing your body change esp with your first baby. But I'm just reminding myself my little bub is in there and then I don't care !

Its so difficult isn't it, i feel like its all I talk about at the moment but its because its all I can see!
I'm the exact same Baby2018! I am curvy which I think is making it worse because my boobs have gone massive! I feel so vain and self obsessed which i really aren't but I literally just keep thinking how big I look constantly and its bothering me more thinking that other people are thinking it (even though I shouldn't care) I'm hoping that as soon as I have my 12 weeks scan I'll feel fine and ill start wearing clothes that show off my 'bump/bloat' haha!
I am struggling with food and exercise also, is anyone else the same? Today I have had scrambled egg on brown toast, a shit load of fruit, a breakfast bar, some tuna and rice, a breakfast bar and 2 packets of crisps (I know its all boring food) and I could easily demolish a big mac and 10 cheese burgers and the thought of exercise makes me wanna fall asleep x
