I feel like I just look fatter and not pregnant
At 17+ weeks I was hoping I would look more pregnant rather than bloated and fat, but I don't.
I haven't gained any weight yet, but I've rounded out all over.
I'm mixed between maternity clothes and my regular stuff-so I'm not quite bursting at the seams (although the non-maternity stuff is getting very snug).
I want to look firmly pregnant already! I don't think it happen with DD until around 21-22 weeks.

Re: I feel like I just look fatter and not pregnant
Ugh, me too. I'm up 5 pounds at 14 weeks and I'm exclusively in maternity pants/skirts...but I don't really have a bump. I just look fat.
I'm sure you are close though!

Re: I feel like I just look fatter and not pregnant
Im kinda in the same boat. Though Im up 10 lbs and I'll be 19 weeks on Sat. I have a baby bump, but from the front I just look the same maybe a little wider. No one even notices Im preg unless I point it out. though I can't fit in my normal jeans anymore. My hips widened. I love sundresses right now. I find out if its a girl or boy next week. I'm thinking  due to how I'm carrying. We'll see!

Re: I feel like I just look fatter and not pregnant
it didn't happen for me until about 2-3 weeks ago (21-22 weeks)
it sucks, but what can you do!? just try to dress comfy and as flattering as possible.

Re: I feel like I just look fatter and not pregnant
I'm just 14 weeks and this is happening to me too. I'm still wearing my regular clothes, although the pants are getting really snug. My problem is that I had a small roll  around my middle and all that seems to be happening is that's getting pushed out so I look more fat than anything else. I'm hoping in the next few weeks it will be evident that I'm pregnant not just getting heavier, espeically since I've only put on 4lbs so far!

Re: I feel like I just look fatter and not pregnant
i felt the same way. it wasnt until 18-19 weeks that i started getting my bump. before that it looked like mush. by 21 weeks it was totally obvious. people say i just popped over night.

Re: I feel like I just look fatter and not pregnant
ummm im 27weeks and there are days when I FEEL like i just look fat and not pregnant. I KNOW this isnt true, that I obviously look pregnant but its a mental thing. Ive only gained about 15lbs but gaining that much weight in 6+ months is making me a little crazy
