Body image/ baby bump

So I’m 21 weeks I’ll be 22 weeks tomorrow. I’m having a hard time with my body image due to my lack of a bump (I look more like I just gained extra fat) is there anyone else feeling this way? Like I’m just curious will I get my baby bump or just look like a sack of potatoes.😂

OKAYY CUZ SAMEEE!! I LOOK LIKE A SOFT BOILED EGG JUST JIGGLY & CHUBBY 🙄😭😭😭

Don't feel bad you're not alone! I'm a sack of potatoes too

I started out heavy, and up until a few days ago... it looked my my weight was just shifting around, so I totally get it! You'll get that baby bump, and it will just pop. I know I went all day and got home, and was like boom, there's a baby bump!

it’s so annoying 😫

thank you 😊 I just want my baby bump so bad!

I feel exactly the same!! 24+4 and no bump whatsoever just look like I’ve put on a bit of weight..I’d much rather be looking pregnant rn than the body image issues that I’m having looking like I’ve eaten back to back takeaways 🥲🥲

You'll get a bump out of nowhere lol and it does make things better for the self confidence. It's something to look forward to:)
I'm 24 weeks and I'm dealing with different worries now, because my bump is bumpin haha like if I'm this round now, what happens next😅

I’m 25weeks and I’m just a fat pouch. I want my baby bump so badly!! Everyone keeps saying I’ll just pop pretty soon

I’ve heard mixed things either I’ll get my bump soon or I won’t because it’s my first pregnancy. Like ughhh lemme just have my bump! 😂

girl I laughed too hard bc sammmmeee 🤣🫣

23w tomorrow and I feel this. I used to think I didn't want a bump because of the attention but damn I'd rather have a distinguishable bump than just look like myself but a little more bloated. I'd definitely feel better about how I look and not feel like I'm lying to people when I say I'm over halfway through my pregnancy lol

I’m 24 weeks and my bump just starting to form and show!

26 weeks and i can say my bump just started to pop!!

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
