I just look fat! 😂

So, I’m sat on the sofa watching big brother before I head out and I’ve just looked down and tbh I just look like I’m a fatty busting outta my jeans!

I’m 12+2 now but I don’t look or feel pregnant at all! Anyone else in the same situation?

I can no longer fit in my jeans. I’m 12 weeks, at first it was bloating and constipation. Now I think it’s my growing uterus.

I don’t know what the bloody hell mine is. It’s still kinda soft in places unless I’m stood up. Jeans are tight but these I can just about tolerate. I suppose it wasn’t helpful that I ate a full bag (big bag) of chicken and thyme sensations then I ate an entire half of a large cheesecake too! 😂😂😂

Yeah the fat or pregnant stage is no fun!

My belly is soft too because our babies are so small still. I think I read a couple weeks back our uterus was the size of a grapefruit. And we are also retaining more water.

I’m 37+3 and i’d say until around week 16 I was just very bloated (but at the time thought it was a bump haha). And then I would say my bump really popped at 26 weeks. I thought I would have a defined bump super early but it’s normal to not properly show until a little later on! X

I wouldn’t mind but this is my 3rd now! 😂

I didn't start looking obviously pregnant until around 5 months

Girl I look bigger than this after 2 kids and I'm NOT pregnant lol

I bet you don’t! Stop being harsh on yourself mama!

Ajajajjajaa I’m like you, I’m telling my boyfriend that I look I gained weight instead of looking pregnant 😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️

Oh I love a good old game of “am k pregnant or am I fat!” 🤣🤣🤣
For those of us who were fat before getting pregnant - honestly, I’m just happy to have an excuse now 🤣

Haha same, 9 weeks now, my jeggings are so tight at waistline, I’m so bloated as the day progresses, it was a horrible drive home after work the other day in my high waisted jeggings 😅😅 so i realize I need looser fitting pants now

I was legit just saying this. I feel soo bloated that it’s making me feel sick, but then I’m hungry, but then I feel full. Everything being moved inside of me and I just feel so uncomfortable atm. I’m 10 weeks 😅😩😮‍💨

i’m so self conscious of this too lol it’s such an awkward stage. i just wear baggy shirts cuz i don’t want people to just think i look fat😂

Same! I also have PCOS so my stomach already was rounder and I have A cups 😅 not flattering whatsoever! My jeans still fit thankfully but in leggings I can definitely see the difference. I’m only 9 weeks 2 days right now

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
