In another group I am in they started posting halfway there pics of their baby bumps...I'm so dissapointed to be 19 weeks and not showing at all. Everyone looks so cute and pregnant, and I just look the same as always, fat. Every time someone finds out im pregnant, they look directly to my stomach to see the baby bump, but nope, not there, it's still just my big ol' belly. blah!

Im not that far along yet. But I know how you feel.

Im only 11 weeks, and in my due-date group these ladies have such CUTE small bumps. Its so adorable but I feel like Im missing out :-( I wont be able to SEE myself grow. I can KINDA feel my bump when Im laying down, but that is it.. And I feel like my DH, DD & other family members are missing out on watching the growing process too.

I also feel kinda silly because even though Im not far along, my stomach doesnt want anything snug around it, so most of my decent pants I cant wear. So last week I went out & bought a pair of maternity pants! I look like a fatty just walking around in maternity pants (if they see the maternity band).

But also keep in mind if you are long waisted or anything, even if you where skinny, you may not be showing all that much. Some woman just naturally dont show that well, no matter their weight.. Thats why so many woman easily end up on "I didnt know i was pregnant".. Naturally their body just hid they where pregnant. .

Yeah, it's no fun feeling like i'm missing out on what others are experiencing. I bought my first pair of maternity pants at 14 weeks, so don't feel silly about that. I just didn't want anything tight around my belly. I can still wear my regular pants, even know, but maternity pants just feel nicer. I just wear longer shirts to hide that silly band! lol.

I know how you feel. When I was pregnant with DD I didn't start to show until I was about 7 months, and even then I just looked lopsided since she decided to hang out only on my left side. I'm sure it will be the same this time around too.
