Getting told I have a small bump/don’t look pregnant

I just need to have a vent to make myself feel better!!

I’m getting so tired of being told my bump is so small or I barely look pregnant.

I’m a UK size 14/16 so have a little chub on me, but these comments make me feel like I just look like a fat lump! I’ve already been saying to my husband that I feel like my bump is small and I’m now 25 weeks and these comments aren’t helping how I feel about myself and my confidence 😣

When will people realise these comments can make an already emotional/hormonal lady feel rubbish! Bumps come in all shapes and sizes and I wish there was more out there to show that. Rather than perfect round bumps with no stretch marks etc.

Here’s my 24 week bumpdate. If anybody wants to post theirs so we have all types of bumps to look at that would be amazing.

I think we are all dammed no matter what people say 😊. We are emotional about our bumps if people think we are too small or too big. I say as long as you love it and feel confident then don’t worry too much about someone’s opinion. Chances are they were or knew someone who was twice your size and thought bigger was normal.

I understand the struggle. I’m 22 weeks pregnant with my first on the left; and 22 weeks with my second on the right. I always blew up right at the end. 😂🙄

That sounds about right. I think average for 23 weeks is a little over a pound.

People just say things out of proportion without realising that they are hurting someone emotionally, but hey you really look pregnant to me.
