I know this feeling all too well. Before my pregnancy I was conscious of my appearance, now even more so. I'm 35+5 and my bump is huge. Nothing I put on looks nice, I haven't put weight on anywhere bar my belly and hips, so I have skinny legs and a huge muffin top. Even in maternity clothes I feel gross. I think it's normal as your pregnancy progresses to feel bulky and uncomfortable, just wish I could wear decent clothes. Lol. Don't worry though sweet, I'm sure once our little ones are here we will stop caring. X

I'm 35+5 right now and im 131 pounds and ore preggo I was 97 so Ive gains 34 lbs but still have a little bump. I think the bump size depends on how big you were at the beginning. I look only about 7 months when in 3 days ill be 9!!

I dont feel fat , but i am 21 weeks and i have gained 33 pounds already. I was 120 pre pregnancy. I dont think i look like ive gained alot because i was somewhat underweight before i got pregnant

I felt fat until I got some maternity clothes that I felt pretty in lol. I've always liked to look good and when I started showing and didn't have clothes that fit well I was miserable. I'm 21 weeks with a decent size bump too. A lot is hormones talking too.
