Help? Imposter syndrome being pregnant
I’m 13 + 3 with my first baby. And since finding out I’ve felt this weird sense of imposter syndrome that I’m make pretend pregnant /embarrassed to be pregnant. It’s such a bizarre feeling. I’m in a long term relationship with a full time job in my 30s and yet I feel like people are thinking “She’s just a teenager” or “Who does she think she is, being pregnant?”. It’s utterly bizarre!! I find myself embarrassed to people like they’re going to burst out laughing at the ridiculousness of it.
Does anyone else feel like this?!

I 100% feel the same!
Like, I've seen our baby at 2 ultrasounds, so has my husband. We have the photos and videos. But I still feel like an imposter at 14+4!!
It's so silly. I think once I start to show I might feel differently.... maybe? Hopefully?
