Feeling fat :(

I know this sounds silly but I’m 11 weeks and I feel bloated and ugly :( I had a BMI of 24 pre-pregnancy and never had to even think about diet/weight etc. at my 8wk appointment was told I’d put on 5kg! Since then my clothes feel tight and my tummy feels fat. I don’t know whether it’s early bump, overeating a bit, or bloat but I feel a bit ugly :(

Most girls have crazy bloating in their first trimester, so although the bump isn’t the actual baby it’s so so normal to feel bigger especially around the midsection as a result! I started at around 7 weeks to notice waist bands becoming uncomfy and clothes getting tighter because of the bloat! There’s so many hormones and digestive changes it’s super normal x

Literally sameeee I’ve been working out the last two months so I can be more in shape and try to continue but I feel so bloated and yucky I wasn’t sure if it was too early for bump but I def feel the pressure of growing bump so gotta mean a bump is coming soon! It’s gunna feel better when bump there I hope lol

I could of written this myself. Although my bmi is higher than 24 haha ‘ 😛 But I feel awful. Can’t work out if it’s bump or fat and it making me feel down xxx

With my first pregnancy I felt the same in the first trimester but it eased up in the second, the bloat settled and the weight gain subsided until the third trimester. If it's your first, your body is going through incredible change in the first trimester with hormones and organs changing etc . Find clothes that are loose and comfy ❤️
