I'm not feeling pregnant "enough"

I feel super emotional today so I am just hoping for some words of advice and encouragement. I'm 165cm tall and I have around 146kg (which is around 5'5" and 322lbs). I'm also pregnant, 15w 6d but I don't look pregnant at all. Like, at all. I just look as fat as I was before I got pregnant (I only gained 1-2kg and I fluctuate a lot), my apron belly looks the same, I went through the 1st trimester with no nausea, just some tiredness and that's it. I feel the round ligament stretching but that's literally it.

Today I was thinking about taking photos and I look at myself and I just can't. I can't look at myself being fat and focus on the belly I spent my life either ignoring or trying to hide or get rid of.

Women my size - did you ever start "looking" pregnant? If so, when? I want to share my joy with the world but I have nothing to show for it and I feel half-pregnant if that makes any sense. I know I should be grateful that the nausea skipped me and that I didn't struggle as much yet, but it feels like another right of passage that I won't have, in addition to a cute little bump...
