I'm nearly 4 months pregnant now, & i've recently started to show, but instead of feeling happy about it, I feel really down coz I keep thinking that people will see me and think I'm just getting really fat. Is there anyway I can make myself look okay because it's really getting me down now. I've never been fat before, and don't want to look it now. Help me please...

I've tried wearing maternity clothes but they just make me look fatter because they are baggy on me.

I know that it can be difficult, and especially during the early part of showing, you can feel like you look fat. I went through the same thing. The best advice I got was to get maternity clothes to wear rather than regular clothes in bigger sizes. Maternity clothes are designed to fit a pregnant body, so wearing them you will look more pregnant rather than fat. Larger-sized regular clothes are cut larger in areas you will not need a larger fit, so they will look baggy in areas, making you feel frumpy and camouflaging your pregnancy.
I hope you feel better soon. Don't worry, once your belly gets bigger, it will be so clear that you are pregnant that you should feel less worried about looking fat.

Girl, I was very thin before getting pregnant and I gained a WHOLE BUNCH of weight. I just didn't worry about that. You want the baby to get all of the needed nutrients so don't stress about it. I enjoyed being able to eat whatever I wanted for a while! If y ou weren't fat before you were pregnant, the weight will almost fall off after you deliver. I lost 25lbs after leaving the hospital. People will be able to tell the weight is only in your belly and that you must be pregnant and not jus gaining a few pounds! Good luck to you, don't stress the little things.

Wear maternity clothes, they make you look pregnant, not fat. Also, why do you care what other people think? This is you, having a baby!! Your baby and you are much more important than "what other people think"!
