FQ: I know this sounds petty but its really been bothering me. I am 14 weeks pregnant and FTM. I am not exactly skinny, I am a size 12 or 14. Ive always carried all my weight in my stomach and depending on what I am wearing I have had people mistake me for being pregnant in the past, which has been really embarrassing and hurt my feelings. Now that I actually am pregnant and I tell people that, they look at my stomach and are like oh yeah we thought so or the other day I had someone just flat out ask me. It shouldnt bother me because I am actually pregnant but it does because I feel like I am not really showing that much compared to how I normally look. I am definitely gaining weight but I dont feel like I have that prego belly look I just look fatter. I am really self conscious now about my stomach and I feel dumb telling people I am only 14 weeks when they probably think I am much farther along. Or maybe I really am starting to show and I am just not noticing it? Anyone other women who are plus sized feel this way? And when do you generally start showing noticeably to others? I am a server and constantly in public and I am so self conscious now and I dont know how to embrace my body. Any advice would be great. Maybe even some advice on wearing clothes that hide the belly would be helpful.Thanks. posted by ~3
