Need help wit the bump :(

Betty
Hey guys! So I know this will come off as shallow and let me start by saying I am so grateful for this pregnancy praise the Lord every minute for this blessing!
It's the bump I'm having trouble with. I normally am a thicker girl but with a flat (flabby) but flat tummy. This is it now at 9.2 weeks. I just look plain fat and my belly button is the size of Mars. Am I the only one? I'm having trouble embracing this bump because I just feel like a fatty and that its all fat. Even my hubby was like "ummmm I don't think it's supposed to look like that 😳" thoughts? Advice? I feel embarrassed that it's so big and I don't want to feel this way 😔

 Lately I just look like I have gave up on my body and really let myself go . I look like "Damn girl what you been eating?!?!!", instead of "what a cute bump!"uuurrrgggNo one guesses that I'm pregnant since my other part of bodies are also bloated together. I am not announcing until my 2nd trimaster but I'm happy with my little tiny secret 😉💕

This is definitley the awkward stage for everyone! I'm pretty small, and my stomach gets bloated to the point where I only feel comfortable wearing loose fitting tops. It just looks bad wearing a form fitting shirt!The bloat phase doesn't look good on anyone lol, but it's all for a good reason :) :) Just hang in there and soon you will have a legitimate bump!

Sometimes a woman's body need o store fats around those area in preparation for pregnancy. It may not be a bump yet, but nevertheless an equally important transition for your body.

Even being a smaller girl, I just look like I put on weight in the gut. We haven't told anyone yet, so I do feel like people are starting to notice at work. One of my students said I look bigger! Lol!

I'm a thick girl and my gut just looks far not like a baby bump , I know it's a baby and it makes me happy so I fully embrace the fat look lol.

Pregnant with my second and feeling the same way.  I cried yesterday because I am so bloated and just look fat!  None of my jeans fit comfortably and I'm only at 6 weeks!  My first pregnancy I wore my regular jeans until 20 weeks!  Tell your husband you need some encouraging at this time!
