11w2d & feeling FAT?!

Hi everyone. I am so thankful to be pregnant! However, I feel like I’m getting so fat in my stomach area. To me, it doesn’t seem like a round pregnancy belly; rather it seems to me just like fat. I’ve always been able to suck my stomach in, but I can’t really now. When I put my maternity leggings on I feel like I look around 4-5 months. This is my first pregnancy.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or has in the past? It’s making me very self conscious. I wish it was a firm, round belly; to me that would be so cute... not this flabby belly! 😫
