I’m currently 26 and a half weeks pregnant and I don’t think I look pregnant in the slightest. I work at a school with a lot of other teachers/ staff and I’m assuming that someone sent out an invite for a shower because I have had so many people (that i see everyday) come up to me and tell me they had no clue I was pregnant. Or when I’ve told other people they assume baby is going to be born some time in the winter, and when I say no I’m actually due in the beginning of August they’re absolutely shocked. Even my sister and husband have said they really can’t see much of a difference, even with supportive underwear and a belly band. And neither do I honestly. It doesn’t help that I have a coworker that I share a classroom/office with that’s due a week before me and has a cute belly. Everyone knows she’s pregnant and asks her about it all the time, where i feel like im still shocking people with the fact that im pregnant. All of that to say, im really self conscious about my lack of bump. Ive had a lot of issues with body image in the past and this is exacerbating a lot of my insecurities. I’ve only gained about 10 pounds (I started at 290 ish) and I’m 5’6. I have a pretty deep b belly and I don’t think that’s changing any time soon. I always wanted to maternity pictures, but I don’t really see the point of spending all of that money on pictures when I look exactly the same as I did pre pregnancy. If you had a b belly/ unhappy with your belly did you end up taking the maternity pictures?

I’m just about 7 months pregnant and yesterday my husband flat out refused to tell me happy Mother’s Day. I wasn’t expecting a gift or flowers or anything necessarily from him although my aunt gave me a mug that said mom and my grandma gave a Mother’s Day card when we saw them on Saturday which was nice. But my husband refused to acknowledge me yesterday and it made me extremely upset. I know that our baby isn’t here yet so I didn’t expect anything much, but a simple happy Mother’s Day to acknowledge the fact that I’ve been carrying his child for the last seven months would have been nice. I feel like he was also picking fights all day with me. We did IVF to get pregnant which is obviously such a physical and emotional process. We did a lot to get to this point! I was crying and upset most of the evening and this morning I told him how much it was bothering me (over text because we were both at work already) and he replied “YOUR’E NOT A MOTHER YET!!” and told me I was overreacting and that I need to let it go.
What do you think?

ETA: we did talk about mothers/fathers day this year a few weeks ago. I told him how I know it’s our unofficial first Mother’s and Father’s Day, but that I wanted to get him a little something, and how I don’t expect necessarily to celebrate with other people this year, but that we would celebrate together.
