embarrassed by belly size

[natemomma27]

So I finally posted my belly pic. I am so embarrassed by how big I am already. If you look at my picture I look to be about 20wks? I'm actually only 13wks though! None of my clothes fit anymore and I feel disgusting :(  I get asked how far along I am and when I say 'just about 13wks', I get rude comments like 'wow! I'd have suspected about 5 months'. It hurts and I know I am big, but I can not help it. I have only gained 4lbs and I wasn't a big girl pre-pregnancy. Yes, this is my 5th pregnancy (3rd child), but seriously!?! This big already?

**Please look! Does it look like 'baby' or does it look like extra weight?**

I just posted 2 pics...  I am huge too.. Not sure why? Even my doctor has commented on how big I am!  I quit smoking 2 months before getting pregnant and know I started to eat more..  Plus, I started to crave junk food and order french fries when I would always go for a salad before!

I don't know how much weight I've gained but none of my clothes fit me. I used to be so tiny, and fit in a size 0 or size 2. You can see the difference by looking at the one pic of me when I was only 8 weeks pregnant to these two new ones!

Don't be embarrassed about how big you are though! It's more padding for your baby and I'm sure your baby is very healthy :)  Just try to eat healthy things and be as active as you can. I was also not active at all. I got very lazy and wanted to sleep so much. I am just starting to get my energy back :)

You'll lose the tummy after the baby!!  We are pregnant. It's ok to be fat! :)

I think both of your baby bumps are absolutely adorable!!  I know for most women any comments about weight or not being able to fit into clothes your normal size is heart breaking.  I don't fit into *any* of my jeans ...I usually have to go around the house in skirts and dresses with elastic bands ...or wear pj pants/shorts all day.  I'm only 14 weeks along, but I definitely have a tummy.  In my first pregnancy (which lasted only until 13 weeks, but the baby stopped growing at 8w), I noticed the slow gradual growth of my tummy.  My tummy was nowhere near board flat ...but it definitely wasn't as round as it ended up.  I didn't lose too much of it afterwards ...but I don't know if that pregnancy contributed to my cute tummy roundness a lot earlier this time.

I know that with each pregnancy, you show a lot sooner because your body already knows, "Hey, this is what we're supposed to be doing.  Let's just do it now and not have to worry too much about it."  =D  However, I don't know if that holds true for completed pregnancies or all pregnancies (regardless of how long it lasted).

I'll have to get my rear in gear and post some of my tummy pictures.  I absolutely adore my baby bump and can't wait to see it grow!!  =D

Girl I was feeling just like you. I am only 9 weeks and everyone said its twins (which its not) I am like whatever.  Be proud that you are having a healthy pregnancy and don't be embarrassed of the baby bump remember once the baby comes the bump will be gone. I think it has alot to do with the third baby, I too am on my third and like I said I am looking like I am 4 months and I am barely into my 2nd month.  I at this point am just praying to have a healthy pregnancy and carry to term. Already having a stressful preg. Anywho your beautiful just the way you are Congrats on your third baby are you going to find out what your having? I saw you have two boys what are thier ages? I also have two boys 4 and 19 months, secretly I am hoping for a girl but will be happy with whatever I get.
