And why do I suddenly feel so self-conscious? If you're expecting your first baby, you might be wondering some of the same things. Here are some thoughts pregnant moms have about starting to show.
Wonder how long this will last? Probably not for very long! I found out I was pregnant when I was around 5 weeks along. And to me, my belly only stayed looking like its normal self for another two weeks or so. My stomach looks different. Hormone-related bloating can start to give you a slightly rounded belly when your baby is still teeny-tiny.
Like, the size of a pea! I started noticing the change around 7 weeks. It sort of looked like I had eaten a huge meal … all the time. Unsurprisingly, those aforementioned pants were starting to feel uncomfortable. Could anyone else tell? The few family members we'd broken the news to insisted that I looked the same.
Even my husband said he barely noticed anything, but part of me thinks he was just being nice. Even in the second half of the first trimester, most moms-to-be can easily keep their belly and pregnancy under wraps with the right clothes. By 10 weeks pregnant, my stomach was really starting to stick out, and only a handful of my loosest pants, skirts and shorts still fit. Pregnancy had also made me totally ravenous.
At this point, being able to hide my pregnancy came with some perks. Another thing: We could still sit at a bar with a non-alcoholic drink for me, of course and not get any weird looks.
