No baby bump yet

This is my first pregnancy (18 weeks right now), and I'm plus size, and no baby bump yet. I'm so over my mom telling me every time she asks if I'm showing yet.. "well, you are overweight..." Anyone else deal with this in their first pregnancy? Honestly, I feel like it more has to do with it being my first than being fat pre-pregnancy. Sigh. Just frustrating when everything is completely healthy but I still feel like my weight is the center of attention.

I can see it on myself (size 22), but I know what I'm looking for. Other people definitely think "fat" before "pregnant". And it's honestly more noticeable on the upper half of my abdomen (where the organs are getting pushed up to) than the lower half (where the babies actually are). 😆
