Feeling really self conscious

Astrid • Fri, Jun 19 • I'm a contractor for the Air Force and a single mom of 2 little girls. I have a 2 year old and a 7 month old. Currently reside in Vegas. I'm just an overachieving young woman, doing my best to keep my family alive and happy.

I'm 22 weeks and everyone keeps telling me I'm still too small. Which is fine, since I know my baby girl is actually growing quite ahead of schedule. But I went to another check up yesterday and one of the nurses told me my bumble was huge for only being 22 weeks along. Now I feel so self conscious. It really hurt. I know it's all baby, but I still put alot of effort into looking good for my husband and this just got me feeling really low. Do I really look huge for 22 weeks?
