My Baby is Really Showing!
Now that I am 33 weeks pregnant I am finally showing significant signs of having a baby! For a long time I was really feeling quite depressed abut my lack of a bump. Some women hate having a big bump, but ask any lady who does not significantly show that they are pregnant and they will all tell you disheartening it can be. As a woman of course you want to look as good as possible all the time, but when you are pregnant, you want people to notice that you are expecting, and as a mother to be, you start to feel quite maternal early on in pregnancy. An important part of that is being to be able to put your hand on your bump in the knowledge that your baby is growing well inside you.
The doctors all told me that my baby was a perfectly normal size, and the only reason that it didn’t show that clearly on me was because I am particularly tall. It meant that the baby was probably more comfortable in the womb, and it was probably much more upright than other babies.
It was quite distressing for some time, but in the end after about seven months, I finally had a very noticeable bump! From that point onward I walked about town with my head held high! I wore close fitting tops to accentuate the bump and I got more comments from people asking me when I was due in one week than I had done in the rest of my pregnancy!
