Am I too big for 23 weeks?
So far in the pregnancy I have felt super great for the most part. No morning sickness or anything but I lost a bunch of weight in my first trimester. I didn't really start growing until around week 18 and since then I've grown a lot. My doctor isn't concerned about my overall weight gain at all (15lb) but I was told to watch how quickly I put it on. They did say however it could have just been quick recently kind of making up for what I originally lost. With that said I still felt pretty good about my bump but recently people have started saying things about me being 'really' pregnant like I am way bigger than they expect me to be and even someone who's wife is due a few weeks before me said I'm bigger then her (I'm a ftm, and she's on her 4th). I'm starting to get really self conscious about it. I want my baby to grow as much as he needs to to be healthy but I don't want to be too big (like I gain more than I need). Do I look reasonable for a ftm at 23 weeks 2 days? I'm fairly average/athletic build pre-pregnancy. I try to eat balanced and work out but it's not my life either.
