Just fat or bump?

I’m 13 weeks and a few days and my belly just looks and feels so big to me. This is my second pregnancy but no children as my last pregnancy ended at 14 weeks about 10 years ago. So don’t know if that makes any difference.
I’m normally fat on my stomach anyway but have lost weight due to morning sickness and I’ve lost it everywhere except for my stomach. It just looks fat bloated and disgusting. I’m too embarrassed to wear tighter clothes because I’m worried people will think I’m trying to make my fat look like a bump.
It feels rounder at the bottom under the fat. Just feeling a bit shit tbh and looking disgusting. I’m covered in blue veins too 😂.
Haven’t a clue what to wear either. Is it just fat or a bump starting to form?
I asked my sisters who have had children and they’ve laughed and said it’s just bloating it’s way too early for a bump. 😞
Just worried I won’t get that nice round neat bump and will just end up looking very fat instead.

Thankyou @Queenfreak still convinced it’s just bloat and fat 🙂 x

I always get really bead water retention early on so always look rally pregnant but then it shrinks and then my baby bump takes over -you can tell if it's firm it's baby if it's soft it's not -bearing in mind at 13 weeks the baby is only the size of a small lemon! Xx

Looks like a bump to me too!!! Looks lovely, congratulations OP. Xxx (I also had to start wearing some maternity wear from about 13/14 weeks most of which I've grown out of now I'm 36 weeks just had to keep buying more stuff lol)

I’d say a combination of uterus (which is more front and centre from 12-13 weeks and is above the pubic bone at that stage) and a bit of bloating. I had a little ‘bump’ at 13 weeks last time. This time I’ve got nothing at all at 12+ so it’s weird!

I've always had a big belly and people think I'm pregnant even when I'm not. I was in maternity jeans by 14 weeks with both of my pregnancies. I'm nearly 6 months now and look about 8 because of all the lockdown chocolate

The way I see it is that every one is different, every bump is different, and you get to show off your pregnancy sooner than other people. Forget whether it's blasting or fat, the fact is there IS a baby in there!! Congratulations!

Bloating not blasting, obvs!
