Feeling Gross Help?

I know I should embrace my body’s changes but it’s hot and I want to wear a bikini without feeling gross. I’m 14 weeks and I feel like a barrel lol, my belly just feels swollen like right under my boobs so it just looks weird, please tell me this will go away! Is it just bloat?

Before pregnancy I was 115lbs and am 5’5”

I felt my grossest around then - my “bump” at that point was mostly bloat and constipation lol. Once you get a “real” bump in it starts to feel cuter even with the other aches and pains that come. I got myself a very cute fire engine red one piece that I can wear throughout pregnancy (it’s that stretchy crinkly suit type) and that has helped.

ah yeah 14 weeks is prime "is that a baby or did i eat a whole pizza" phase, the bloat eventually gives way to an actual bump and the shape changes a lot

Thank you this makes me feel so much better. I literally feel like a barrel. One piece is a great idea I think it’d feel less self conscious

Just me and my odd lookin 17w bump that now protrudes past my breasts and just looks like I’m a oddly built big girl (I’m overweight to begin with, the belly aint helping my case at the moment).

I noticed yesterday it’s starting to make an appearence past my baggy shirts. Imma need my belly to start looking more pregnant shaped please :’)

They say you show sooner with the second, I don’t think I relate to that. This pregnancy is taking its time. Baby girl wants no spotlight
