feeling fat

I am 11 weeks and 4 days and feel like I am 5 months pregnant. I have only gained 2 lbs and was a little overweight to start but this is my second kid and don't remember getting this big at this point last time. My belly is very hard and people keep asking me if I am having twins which I am not. Does anyone else have this problem?  I feel kinda self conscious abiut my baby bump.

I felt better when I started trying and bought maternity cloths.  My husband looked at me totally different like I was the most precious thing.  So I feel so much better

Yes I feel like that.  Granted I am over weight as well but I feel like my uper stomach is getting bigger then where the baby is  and  its hard.  I feel huge and I am only 11 weeks.

I felt that way each pregnancy. I am currently 13 weeks pregnant with number four and have told my husband I feel to big for 13 weeks. The doctor told me with my second it's perfectly normal to show sooner.
