Frustration

[Revine]

I know it's kind of odd for me to be frustrated about this, but I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I'm barely showing...it drives me nuts because people come up to me all the time saying, "Oh, hey, I thought you were pregnant..." or "Are you sure you're five months pregnant, you don't look like it..." which I think most people would like, but I have always wanted a kind of big belly. Anyway it's just a little frustrating...

just you wait until your 3rd trimester, that's when you really start showing!  my bump was pretty small up until the end, then all of a sudden i looked in the mirror and could not believe how huge my belly was!

Is this your first pregnancy?Also are you tall? If so its very normal. I am 5'10.5 and I normally dont show very much. And when I do, it isnt until the very end. But if your doctor isnt worry, dont worry. It will happen :)

Lol I'm actually pretty short I'm 5'3" and I'm not so much worried about my baby, I know he's fine...I just wish he'd let me show him off more than he does.

Do you wear maternity clothes?  I found that they made me look soooo much smaller when I was preg so I wore regular shirts and bigger size pants to show off my belly lol

We actually can't afford maternity clothes right now. My husband is trying to get into the Navy, so he's working out all the time to get to the right weight...Anyway I'm hoping that maybe for Christmas I can get some maternity clothes or something...maybe some make-up too. :P
