Made 23 weeks today & still waiting on my bump … I hate when people comment on it or ask WHY ATE YOU NOT SHOWING YET. Soo irritating.

Oh girl I’m sorry, people always have something to say! Personally I’m huge already, this is also my second. Your bump will come soon, what’s important is you and baby are healthy ❤️

I’m 21 weeks and I’m tired as well of people telling me I don’t look pregnant 🤦🏽♀️

Sometimes people just don’t know what to say out of their mouth. lol Sorry for that I know it’s frustrating. Try to enjoy the journey, everyone’s is different. 😊

Well, I think of it this way, mamaz. Most people don't know how other people are feeling or thinking, I know it is said all the time everywhere mom's to be tend to say "I look like a whale!" Or that they are sensitive about their body changes. Body positivity today is so much more encouraged now, people are still programed on how women's body "should" look like🙄.So most people, when they say that, aren't thinking it in a malicious way, but trying to compliment you possibly? But, they also don't think that a lot of mom's are super excited and proud of their little one's in there that they want that little baby bump💕. Rightfully so, it's a big deal! What our bodies are doing and going through! I know it's frustrating, but remember, most people don't know what you are going through or feeling and thinking. Try not to take it personally mama. Maybe lightly say you want that bump also! Don't worry, your bump is coming soon😄

Especially if you have only had one pregnancy

I'm in the same boat. I have been overweight my whole life, so now that I'm pregnant, all my fat is hiding my bump. I literally had a customer at work tell me, "You must not be far along" when I was at 20 weeks! As this may be my only pregnancy in life, I feel like I'm missing out! I'm just hoping that at least third trimester will be my baby bump Era.

I’m 19 weeks and just look a bit bloated, people are just really ignorant sometimes and don’t stop to think that “all bodies are different”. Which is very true, in everything; metabolism, weight gain/loss, recovering from injury or trauma, and especially PREGNANCY. They just think THEY should see a belly so THEY can touch it and stuff. Instead of thinking that you may just be smaller bc ur figure is smaller haha. People are weird and just don’t think, don’t let it get to you girl. Enjoy your body no matter the size or condition. We all do amazing things with our bodies for life 🩷🩷🩷

I turned 23 weeks yesterday and feel the same way!! A small bump doesn’t change the fact you are creating life!! Big bump or small bump we’re all creating beautiful babies!!

I'm 23 weeks, and I didn't really start to show until 21 weeks. Since I started showing just a little bit, my bump has been getting bigger by the day it feels like. It may work the same for you

Im the same and it’s so scary!! You know your bodies made for it but when it’s taking soo long to grow i the worrying :( and frustrating when people say you can’t be that pregnant! We will all be fine though and our bodies will grow eventually :)

Embrace it !!
