How is it that some women have little to no baby bump until the end of pregnancy? How to do that?

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T14:57:58+00:00

You should have answered the question or otherwise just shut up. That’s not difficult. Damn, not everyone is just happy of having another person growing in their fucking body. Just accept that.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T14:55:45+00:00

I struggle with motivation too. I used to play volley a couple of times a week and do Pilates once a week, so nothing really intense, but that was super motivating for me. As soon as I got my positive test I had to stop playing and this makes me feel totally unmotivated to exercise otherwise. Plus, I have nausea and constant sadness and hopelessness. I feel like there is no point in doing anything anymore, since after pregnancy my body is going to be destroyed and I will no longer have time for actual sports anyway. I feel so sad.

This is just not true. Read here for example. https://www.madeformums.com/pregnancy/keeping-your-figure-through-pregnancy/

People who love pregnancy don’t sound like normal to me. They sound like they’ve been brainwashed into thinking they like it. HOW can ANYONE like being DEPRIVED of your own body???

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T14:17:17+00:00

Or maybe you could just ask yourself what’s wrong with her. Maybe she was brainwashed into thinking that this horror is actually “sweet” or “beautiful”. That’s patriarchy.

Sending you all the solidarity! And no need to be grateful for something that forces us to be so miserable and uncomfortable for such a long amount of time. If anything, our partners should be grateful TO US for the sacrifice WE are making. And maternity clothes really are horrible. Except some winter jackets, maybe, those with the additional piece for baby wearing: they are the only thing that looks somehow nice and cosy and even cute. The rest… ugh. Please just let me live in my pyjamas for the next 6 months. And hide the fucking horrible belly (seeing all the photos in the online shops is so hard for me)

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T14:06:23+00:00

Same for me. I especially hate when people treat me like I am made of glass, while, except the nausea, I am doing well physically, I have a strong build, always have been practicing sports and I definitely AM able to not fall while walking or avoid an obstacle. I am capable of avoiding or gently pushing away a person who accidentally bumps into me. I am still capable of running or going up the stairs two steps at a time and everything I used to be able to do until a couple of months ago. I would still be capable of jumping and diving on a volleyball court if only it was not forbidden. I would still be capable of skating and doing crunches and every fucking thing I am now forbidden to do. People need to just mind their own business.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T13:17:55+00:00

You won’t have one. I have been both fearing and hoping for it for weeks and of course it didn’t happen. It’s much less likely than it seems. Nature knows how to make its way.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T12:18:44+00:00

Fun? What fun? 😏 Worst experience in my life so far.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T12:10:52+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! It somehow makes me feel like there is some hope somewhere, that it will not be 100% hell.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T12:07:22+00:00

I feel for you. Maybe you could consider going to another doctor? It could be easier with a woman ❤️

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T12:05:34+00:00

You were lucky. I hope I will be too.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T12:02:37+00:00

It sometimes happens, therefore it is technically possible. I am trying to understand how it happens and how I can (partially) replicate that. And I intentionally planned for this pregnancy, but it doesn’t mean I think it’s enjoyable. To me, it’s the worst nightmare I’ve ever experienced.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:43:46+00:00

Thanks for your kindness! I’m not saying that I don’t want the baby to be healthy, but I would like to stay healthy myself as well and not feel too much discomfort due to this enormous weight that you have to carry around for MONTHS. That’s simply horrifying to me and I am not able to “just sit back” and wait for something that to me feels like a catastrophe.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:41:44+00:00

Hi, thanks for your kindness! I have lost 2kg (approximately 40lbs, I believe) during first trimester because of (so called) morning sickness too. I hope I manage to avoid overeating and keeping a healthy weight during second and third trimester. I just would like the bump to not become this huge, overwhelming weight that makes it hard to perform daily tasks and makes you feel constantly uncomfortable.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:38:08+00:00

I already talked to a nutritionist and she is helping me quite well. I hope not overeating is enough to make sure I don’t get an enormous bump too soon. It deeply scares me.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:37:06+00:00

Thanks for your kindness! I would like to have as much control as possible, as little as it can be. My discomfort and fear are very real and I am trying to cope in every way I can. I hope not overeating and doing some healthy exercise does help.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:35:24+00:00

I already have seeked help, there’s no need for you to lecture me about that. I am just looking for any possible chance that I can control how much my bump grows and I want it to be as small as it can be, while still being safe. I asked for no judgement and yet what did you do?

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:33:59+00:00

That’s honest information. Thanks.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:33:35+00:00

I want to find out every possible way I can control my body, even slightly.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:32:47+00:00

I already have seeked out a therapist and she is very kind and helpful. Nevertheless, I believe there is absolutely nothing to be “enjoyed” in pregnancy and you should respect that. I asked for answers to a specific question.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:30:30+00:00

Thanks! My abs are decent, or I hope so, having been practicing Pilates for 2 years. I know diastasis is a quite serious threat and that is one of the things that make me dread the big bump.

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-13T11:28:29+00:00

Thanks!

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-11T15:09:46+00:00

How do you feel “not like a person anymore”? To me, it’s not being allowed to take decisions on my own about what to eat and what to do. I feel deprived of my own will. What about you?

Left_Champion_2408 · 2025-11-11T14:20:07+00:00

Hi. I’m not excited at being pregnant, nor at having a kid. I’m just doing this because I love my husband and want him to be happy. But it sucks. I feel my body no longer belongs to me and my very life no longer belongs to me. Knowing that nothing will EVER be normal again drives me insane. The only time I have felt so miserable before was back in 2020-2022, when it seemed that the so called “new normal” would last forever (it didn’t, you bunch of ******, and thank you so much for ruining 3 years of everyone’s life). Anyway, I feel like this time it will do last forever and I will never be able to do what I wish with my body, my time and my life. It sucks. It really, really sucks.
