I still feel I look fat rather than preg :(
Had my first nct class on mon night, was really good but felt such a fraud as all the other girls had neat, obvious looking bumps (even the girls that are bigger than me).
When will I actually begin to look preg rather than just fat? I'm pretty overweight as it is although I've not put any extra weight on yet - my gp was quite happy for me to stay the same/keep losing weight throughout pregnancy.
It's a bit depressing though, even had a comment about weight from people who didn't know I was pregnant, felt like telling them to eff off.
DH thinks it's cause I had PCOS that most of my weight I carried round my stomach, anyway he thinks I look preg but i think he's just humouring me cause it's what I want to hear!!
From my 20 wk scan I know baby was on target weight/size wise and having a private scan done this sat (a dvd one - exciting!), baby's certainly much more active now and gp said everything was ok when i had a check a couple of weeks ago, just wish I looked a bit more preg!!

:(
 
Don't worry about it, I was the same. Come 30 weeks I started to get much bigger and by about 32 weeks there was NO hiding it. 35 weeks and I had the stretchmarks to prove just how quickly it had grown! :rotfl:
 
aww don't worry :hug:

i haven't had much of a bump either.. the past 2 weeks babies just bulked out it seems and now my OH said it looks like i have a ball up my tshirt :rotfl:

i bet in a couple of weeks you'll be complaining that your bump is huge and uncomfy :rotfl:

Awww :hug: :hug: :hug:
The same thing happened to me - I am a bigger mummy too and I am trying to maintain weight in this pregnancy...been losing weight until a few weeks ago, now starting to put weight on, but not at my starting weight yet :cheer:

I also started NCT classes at 28 weeks and felt the same. Try not to worry though, once you hit 30 weeks there seems to be a bump explosion! Seriously! I don't think anyone would have known I was preggers until quite recently and now I have a huge bump. (Look in tummy pics - I posted on Saturday I think)

I think your OH really can tell you are pregnant. Mine could, it took me a while to belive him too, but then I realised I did look different without any clothes on :D

I know it is difficult, but try not to get too downhearted. People will tell soon enough :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
 
:hug: :hug: :hug: In a few weeks time your bump will be so big and uncomfortable you'll be wishing it was smaller :)
