I’m scared is my belly too big?

Ladies, I’m freaking out because this is my first baby and I feel huge and everyone that sees me is like “ohh you’re only 24 weeks pregnant” and I feel so weird. I have a midwife appointment on Thursday and I’ll ask her but, I can’t help but think I’m huge. 😩

💜💜 thank you darling! You’re absolutely right!

Your bump is perfect! There’s no such thing as too big or too small, just different. There’s always gonna be someone who has something to say, your whole pregnancy and after baby is born. Keep your head up!

Thanks for the encouraging words💜

I’m 24 weeks with my first and I look the same. Everyone keeps saying the same thing to me but I haven’t gained weight anywhere I’m just belly. Dr said everyone’s belly is different! You are gorgeous mama!

Hello! You are so beautiful and you should not worry about it or about what people say! If your belly was small people would say: “omg where are your bump? So small” People are never happy and you should not worry at all!

I know right?! People don’t think before talk, don’t think that we are doing a hard job growing a human inside our body, people don’t care about our feelings, our hormones, or anything and they will tell things about EVERYTHING! We need to choose don’t hear it. I can’t tell you all the things I did hear my entire pregnancy while I was sick for 37 weeks. And postpartum... I know hurts but we need just agree and turn on the “f****” bottom. Don’t let people turn down your feelings! All you guys are PERFECT! Everyone is different!

yes people say this to me and it hurts!!!!!

so beautiful! 😍 everyone’s different mama ! 💙

The bump police lol that made me laugh! Yea, seriously tho it’s so annoying 🙄.

How tall are you? I’m about 5’5” and I feel huge too! My OB says it’s because I’m a little on the short side and my torso is short so he doesn’t have much room to go up, so he goes out haha

I’m 5’6 and have a small torso so that makes sense. Thank you!!💙 you’re beautiful! Go momma!!

Like everyone else has said, every bump is different! My bump is “big” and I’m 24 weeks as well. So I’ve heard all of the “are you sure you only have 1 in there?”, “you’re so big” unnecessary comments. As long as your doctors/midwives say everything looks good, then you and baby are okay❤️

Yes, I get asked that question a lot, “ you sure there is one?” Like shut up people I’m freaking sure! 🙄😅 You look beautiful 😍

You only look big because you're all belly! Just looks big in comparison to your small frame. I was the same. People at work kept asking me if I was carrying twins. For reference I'm 5'6," started out at 125 lbs and gained about 20 lbs so on the small side.

Thanks for the reassurance 💙💙

I'm a FTM also, 23w +3, and I look the same! I had someone say that to me today, "oh wow, your belly looks big for that many weeks". We'll I'm rather fond of my belly size, but thanks anyways:). Are you on the shorter side? I'm 5'3, and I think it had something to do with the height of our torso being shorter, so it grows out more like what another girl in the above comments said. Your bump is adorable! 💛

Thank you hunny💙 I’m 5’6 but have a short torso so that makes sense.

I’m a FTM and I’m 21w +3 right now and I’m not really showing at all. I’m on the taller side (5’9) and I have a longer torso but she’s still sitting super low. They say Boys sit higher, more towards your ribs tho. But your belly is super cute and I wish I had a belly. I just look bloated and it makes me feel chunky 🤦🏻‍♀️😭

I have a big baby belly as a FTM. I know mine is due to my fibroid expanding my uterus even more. But regardless you look great girl!

Thanks so much😭😭💙 Im crying you made my day!

Awww, you’re welcome and girl! After the baby, you’ll get back to your normal size in no time. Regardless, beautiful inside and out. Your comment made me shed a tear of happiness lol❤️

I’m 19 weeks and hardly showing. 😭😭 WHERE ARE YOU BABY BOY!!!

2 replies

Thank you!!

He will pop just wait!🥰💙 congratulations on the baby boy!

You look beautiful! I think the overarching of your lower back (I do this too which is why I noticed) makes your bump stick out even more than it may do otherwise. I have to correct my posture all the time to protect my back.

Never thought of that. I’ve always stood that way probably even more now that it’s heavier in the front. Thanks!

Yeah there’s a massive difference in my bump according to how I stand. 😂🤣

I think you look great! Ignore what anyone says! As long as midwife doctors tell you all is not ma and on that’s all that matters. Can I ask if those are maternity leggings ur wearing and where from ? I can’t find any good ones with pockets in UK! Thanks!!

1 reply

Thanks hunny!!💙💙 these are from TJ Max Im not sure if they have them in the UK. They are not maternity leggings. I had brought a size up by mistake before I was pregnant and now they fit. I got my maternity leggings from Target tho! Those are the best and so comfy. I hope they have Target in the UK if not I wonder if you can order online.
