Man I know Exactly how you ladies feel. When I was younger I was always a lil bigger than my gfs and I was always the "fat friend" then as I got older I lost the weight & ended up looking better than my friends. Long story short now that I'm prego for the first time I'm getting Huge & its bringing back bad memories. I know I'm prego & its expected but seriously when does the weight gaining end?? I feel huge. And I don't get it cause I've had morning sickness thruout my whole pregnancy & don't eat a bunch of junk. All I know is as soon as this lil girl comes I am doing whatever I can to lose the weight. Nice to know I'm not alone :)

i can totally relate! with my last preg i was already bigger before getting preg but i had such a cute tummy at the start, at 5 months i have a picture of me dressed up to go out and my belly was perfectly round and just cute! then i got bigger and bigger, i bought some mat clothes that were way to big and never thought i could fit them, well OMG i just about had to go buy more! i was sure i couldnt/wouldnt get much bigger! i work in LTC and old ppl can be mean and the one old lady kept asking if i was sure i wasnt having twins! so anyway i was huge, then i swelled up with edema so bad i had it on my tummy!! it was crazy and after i had my daughter via c section i was left with this gross tummy that was fat and kinda hanging... i hate it and now with this pregnancy i am showing the same as last time where my tummy pokes out higher up first, but i still have this yucky tummy under and i dont look cute at all! i hope that when i get farther along i wont look so much fat but cute again....maybe not so big as last time tho! and i remember last time|(in the waitng room at Dr) thinking wow these woman are very preg and i dont look preg at all! not this round i was think OMG they probably think im very preg too! i hope after this babe i can get my butt in gear and get my confidence back!

So dont think that you cant/wont get much bigger nicole8989....you still have possibly 10 more weeks left!!!

I can totally relate!! I'm already a chunkier girl and when I'm preggers its sooo much worse!!! My boobs are too big to look cute in maternity shirts because the shirts don't have enough room for them to fit right!! And when I turn and look in mirror I often wonder if the baby is really in my belly or  has moved to my butt!!! . They are both big n round!!! Lol..ha* cute, skinny pregnant girls just make me feel more like a whale!! Lol..;-) btw I'm only 15 wks and got out my maternity clothes last week and over half if my tops already don't fit!!! Ahhh..

I feel the exact same way. I was a size 4 when I got pregnant, and now I can't even put my jeans on, and I'm only 21w5d. I feel so fat, but I know it's my baby boy growing, but still. My husband and everyone says "you're pregnant" I know that, I just want to be skinny again!

I was at the Dr's office with a girl that was due the exact same day as me and one that was due 3 weeks later and it was depressing!   The one due the same day has a little bit of a baby belly starting but the other one at 5 months along had nothing!   I have only gained 6lbs to date now and I swear it has all just moved from other areas to my belly. (Dr isn't worried said Baby is gaining even measuring a week early and I'm losing.) I don't even think the one that was 7 1/2 months pregnant was bigger then me.  There is a girl I work with, she is due in a little over a month from now and I swear I look farther along then she does.  I guess we all just grow at different rates.

I am 20 weeks Saturday and I look about 7 months pregnant I'm talking huge round belly already can't wear regular clothes I have also gone up about 5 pants sizes and gained a total of 20 lbs. All women are different and I always get HUGE try not to let it discourage you I know it's hard not to feel gross but at least baby is growing like he/she should and not to little right?

I know how you feel I'm almost 27to weeks now and I only just started to really look pregnant. Up until now I just looked fat. As happy as I am about the baby I have days where I look at myself and all I can think is how tired I am of being pregnant...
