body n belly

1st pregnancy and I'm 16 weeks tomorrow. I was a size 14 before and did have a stomach so I already looked pregnant. I used to suck my stomach in but now I'm pregnant I don't want to but now when I tell ppl I'm pregnant I have to justify why I look so big...already. any bigger gals had this issue? I don't even want to take progression pics each week cos I don't think I've gotten more of a belly yet?

I too started out in size 14 and M sweats. Both of which is gettin tight at only almost 12 weeks.  I took a pic at 11 weeks for same as other eperson.  Didnt want to regret not.  And already havin a stomach shoulsnt stop us from wanting a PRE baby belly picrure.  We wanna see how we progress as well.  Im keeping it for my self bcuz i k ow ppl will have comments. Bit go for it :) u can take th and not show them if u dont feel comfortable doing so.  Dont let anytjing from stopping u :)

Honestly I'm not a big girl but I absolutely hate that we have to justify anything in pregnancy. From age to size it's ridiculous and irritates me. I have to justify being so small all the time. Gggggrrrrr

Im in the same boat! I just tell people I am however many weeks but I feel about 20. People have been really nice about it and say that it will all even out and it was the same way for them. I started taking pictures just because I didnt want to regret not taking any.... I think if people make any statement about looking bigger just tell them to take a hike! :)
