Do I look pregnant or just fat?

Question

I’m a very small person so any sort of weight looks like 100lbs on me. I’ve managed to loose almost 10lbs since becoming pregnant. I’m almost 11 weeks and I’m already showing but I’m afraid I just look fat and not cute and pregnant 😭 I know it’s still early I just want to look pregnant and not fat and ugly!

Answer

In the same boat as you. 5’1”. Was 199 lbs pre-pregnancy. Currently 34w and have gained 30 lbs, but it looks and feels more like 100 lbs due to my height (or lack thereof! 😂😭) Like you, I started showing early (started noticing a slight bump around 10w). But for a long time, I was certain I still didn’t look pregnant, simply fat. Finally, around 20w, a stranger mentioned my pregnancy to me for the first time (“When are you due?”) So you do definitely round out more over time, it’s just hard to see yourself from other peoples perspective! I suggest taking weekly bump pics to watch how much it changes through the rest of your pregnancy! Here are a few of mine:

Answer

Your starting to round I was like that till 23 w then I popped, now I'm 30w6d hers a photo from  23w and 30w3d to compare ..... I weigh 241lbs

Answer

You will definitely round out and look more pregnant in the second trimester. Most plus sized women “look” pregnant after 22 weeks some not until late second tri so 28 weeks!
