I've Given Up

[Alkali13]

I'm 12w2d, and for weeks now, people are commenting that I'm showing, and I politely explain no, I'm just bloated.  None of my clothes fit anymore and anything I CAN get on just looks ridiculous.  Today, I decided to give up.  I went out and bought a bunch of maternity clothes and I'm just going to rock them with my bloat bump.  They're much more comfortable anyway.

Do it mama, I always get the "ohhhh you're about to pop huh" and I'm only 18 weeks, so enjoy it, people still talk anyway lol

I haven't been able to wear my size 2 pants for weeks now, actually.  I have a few bigger sizes, and my size 8 pants are even weird and uncomfortable. I just can't take trying on five outfits every day any more, ha ha

12 weeks was hard for me in that way too. My uterus was so swollen. I too went out and bought a few maternity pieces, I'm 19 weeks not and actually still wearing my regular size 3 jeans. My swelling went down and my "baby bump" has moved upward. And Im steadily growing weight. at first everyone said "boy" BC carrying low, so annoying and obvious not a baby bump.. I'm having a girl :)

LOL, no one has made predictions yet, but I've had close friends say I "looked pregnant" when I walked in a door at a restaurant.  I'm not even sure I know what that means, but I know it's not a glow.  My face is worse than when I was sixteen.  I threw on maternity capri leggings and a tank top earlier and just went out like that today.  It made me feel a little better.

Lol I know exactly how you feel. I had someone tell me yesterday that she can tell I'm having a girl because of how I'm carrying... I have no bump, just bloat and chub lol
