Fat pregnancy face....already?!?

[KahluaCupcake]

My mother kindly informed me yesterday that my rear end has gotten bigger.
I know I'm bloated and have gained about three pounds since I got my bfp. But my face!! Prior to getting pregnancy I lost 30lbs. I was so happy, and looked better than I have in about 3-4 years. I lost my double chin...yahoo!
And now it's coming back, but it's different. Instead of just fat under my chin, it's like...to the sides under the chin. It's weird. And since I can't tell anyone at work I'm pregnant, I'm a bit self-conscious about just looking fat again.
A good friend of mine didn't even look pregnant when she was 8 months pregnant because she was heavy before she got pregnant. I'm so scared of that!

But anyway...I always thought the "pregnancy face" didn't come until middle to late pregnancy, not smack in the middle of the first trimester.
Has anyone else gotten it so far??

Pregnancy face??? I don't "think" I've ever had it with any of my babies, although someone who I know says they can always tell when a lady is pregnant by their face shape changing even in the first tri and he is always right when he guesses... And he guessed I was pregnant before I told anyone! So maybe I do get it???

I don't think u will get as big as you were before if you eat healthy. You may put on 30lbs but that will include baby, amniotic fluid, and placenta as well as a bit of extra fat, it won't all be on your bottom

My philosophy is just don't look

As long as you eat healthy and get a bit of gentle exercise, the rest is in baby's hands. It'll disappear again with feeding and running after your LO once they're here.

Blame hormones. It's happening to me. I work in labor and delivery as a nurse and I asked my doctor too. Increase in hormones has a different affect in us all. Retaining water is very common and also if you eat salty foods. Staying well hydrated can really help.

H&H 9 months to you all.
