“Bump” up top 2nd trimester

Marli • Lottie Mae norm 3-23-20. Liam Thomas🌈 born 4-7-17. Angel baby 5-4-16. Hubby & I married 11-1-14. Have two Pomeranian `babies`.

So I’m 13 weeks and everyone keeps saying “oh wow! You really look pregnant!” / “oh wow! You’re carrying high!”

I know that the baby is WAY in my lower abdomen. Is my uterus moving just shoving all my fat and organs up to give me a faux “bump”?

Is it still mostly bloat?

How do I cope with the fact that everyone keeps telling me how adorable my “bump” is when I know there’s no baby way the hell up there?

I was plus sized pre-pregnancy, and it is my third pregnancy (and my uterus always measured ahead with my second pregnancy—the one that resulted in a healthy baby. We lost our first).

Anyone else have this happen?

Did you just roll with it?

Did it make you feel weird?
