24 weeks pregnant but just look fat :(

[Rosykk]

Im 24 weeks pregnant today and i still dont look pregnant, just fat! Im tall and a size 14-16 but carry my weight quite well, but everyone keeps telling me how i dont look pregnant and i hate it! I was on the bus the other day standing and someone gave up their seat for this other pregnant lady who I ended up talking to who was only 4 months pregnant, I know she deserved a seat too but it actually kinda hurt. also when i got into town people as usual were banging into me quite the thing. Also in work they keep asking me to do double shifts and i havent had 1 days sickness so i think they kinda forget im pregnant. I mean i dont want to be treated like im ill but i want everyone to know im going to be a mummy soon and i dont just eat all the pies

i was the same hun and it's horrid, i was a size 16-18 and short and my 'bump' just looked like flab to anyone who didn't know me, everyone kept saying 'oooo when are you going to pop?' which really wound me up! but at around 30weeks, there was no mistaking my bump and now i'm waddling around! it really helped logging on the the plus sized thread on 2nd tri so i could see other bumps like mine! take care x

Sorry to say it, but I think I was around 32 weeks before it became more obvious that I'm pregnant. I was a size 14 before being pregnant and I hide baby well. Before that, people who know me could tell I was pregnant, but they knew anyway! I kept getting all the comments about not looking pregnant too.

I dont think I started to look pregnant til a few weeks ago, and sometimes I still wonder if people think I just have a fat belly, I was a size 14 when I fell pregnant (may be slightly bigger now) and its been very frustrating not looking pregnant. I still dont have a perfectly round pregnant belly.

Dont worry you will look pregnant soon enough, all of a sudden you will pop. I got married at 25 weeks, and it was in the 2 weeks after that that my belly really grew, up until then I hadn't grown that much.
