Hello. I am 37 years old and 6 weeks pregnant and very excited about our first pregnancy but concerned I won’t get to experience it the same way my thin friends did.

I am 5ft and 73kg/161 lb. I have been active in sports, dancing and training my whole life but always overweight (chubby). I am the biggest of my friends who are all super petite. They all carried so beautifully and showed early, barely gained and weight and went almost straight back together were before they had baby.

I have always dreamed of having a baby but have always been concerned that with my weight people won’t appreciate it as much. I’m concerned I will look more and more overweight than pregnant. I want to experience the preggy belly and get an amazing pregnancy shoot.

I would like some advice please? What can make me feel better? When do you think I will start to show?

Below are what I look like this morning
