Anyone else not feeling like a "woman"?

Question

I feel like I still have the body of a 15 year old! I'll be 20 in March and I'll be 16 weeks Friday! Other than somewhat bigger boobs than what I had, I'm tiny (5'2) I want and NEED to gain weight!!!! My friend is 26 weeks pregnant and she has boobs and everything she was skinner than me before we got pregnant! Ugh it's not fair 😩😪😞 My boyfriend says he sees a difference in my butt and boobs and he loves it but I just don't!

Answer

I'm tiny too... Around your height and also had little boobs and not gaining much weight.  I'm farther than u... 22 weeks and have gained 1-2 cup sizes but am still breaking even with my weight since I lost some first trimester.  Because I have small boobs to begin with, the growth in sizes is not very noticeable either... That being said, since we are gaining less weight than other ladies, as long as our babies are growing at the right rates, this means we have less weight too lose after pregnancy, less chances of stretch marks and varicose veins in the legs from a lot of the weight gain, and better sleep!  Also, we can wear regular clothes longer!  Focus on the positives dear!  :)

🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽 I do I do!!! I'll be 24 in a few months, I'm 13 weeks pregnant with an small bump, my weight fluctuates between 90 and 100 lbs, I have A cups and I'm 5ft tall. I get some serious dirty looks in the store. If only they knew! I got complimented on braids I had a few weeks ago by an older woman. We talked for a bit and then asks me where my mom or dad was. I told her that my mom was probably at her house. She looked confused and just blurts out, "How old ARE YOU exactly?" I say, "23, married and pregnant!" I thought I killed her right there 😂😂 she was such a sweet woman though. Without makeup, I'd probably pass for a 17 year old. When I turned 21, the bars would check my ID more than once, just to make sure it wasn't fake lol

Answer

Your boobs will get bigger. Heck your hips haven't even begun to spread yet. I would just say just enjoy the fact that he has even noticed and likes the change in your body.

Answer

Dont worry about how much or where you gain. As long as you're eating right, you'll gain what you need to. Some women just don't gain alot. Just make sure to eat a variety of foods and ask your doctor what the minimum calories are that you need to eat in a day. Make sure you eat atleast that and baby will be fine even if you don't gain a ton. With my first 2 i didnt gain anything until around 20 weeks and with this one I'm 19 weeks and am -2 lbs from prepregnancy. If doctor isn't concerned, don't worrt about it.

Answer

You're only 16 weeks. They get bigger the more far along you get.
