Do you want a big belly or small belly??

Question

I've been reading posts and I keep seeing women with small baby bellies saying they are sad and wish they had a big bump to show off... 
Also I see women with big bellies saying they feel fat and huge and want to be smaller!!

I think people tend to want what they don't have and we should encourage everyone not to worry or feel bad about themselves!

I get told my bump is 'big' for a slim girl and I think Ok... umm thanks? Sorry? I don't know what people want from me! He's health so I'm happy 😂

Answer

If my baby is healthy, I don't care if my belly is a triangle. Lol

Answer

I didn't care or even really think anything of it until I started getting comments like "when are you going to start showing?" At 25 weeks (after losing 20+ lbs from nausea issues in the first trimester up and into the 2nd). Really I just wish other people would mind their own business when it comes to most baby related topics (unless it's in reference to a specific question or something like that).

Answer

I'm 4'11 and assumed that I would explode by 20 weeks, but I didn't even begin to show until week 22. I'm so thankful that my belly isn't out of control just yet, it's already uncomfortable as it is, and I know by the end of my 40 weeks I'll have more than enough belly for my liking! 
Everyone's different though, and it depends on your core, your weight, height, health, everything becomes a factor😊

Answer

To be honest I am 25 weeks and was quite petite before pregnancy I know have a fairly huge bump and I really love feeling her kick etc but the bump is definitely putting alot of pressure on my hips and pelvis and back and is pretty uncomfortable/painful. Have just ordered a maternity belt so fingers crossed it helps 😊

Answer

I think I have a big belly and I love it.  I would hate having a small belly and people not being able to tell I'm pregnant

Answer

I for some reason thought I would be really grotesque while pregnant but I'm actually really happily surprised by how my body has handled pregnancy. I do think for many women it's a case of comparing to so many other women and the medias portrayal of pregnancy. I'm glad I didn't get huge really fast cuz I knew it would be a strain on my body and on labor. And I never know how to respond when people either tell me I'm huge or small lol... I'm just pregnant.

Answer

I want a nice sized bump...I'm only 5'2 so I don't want to be too big, looking like imma fall forward lol and I also don't want one too small. I want one that compliments my body type :)
