Am 33 wks pg with no.3. Have 'bloomed' right from the start and am much bigger than with previous 2, although I know thats normal.
I have now put on 2.5stone which is a lot for me (was 8stone and size 8 pre pregnancy), have always been thin.
I havent put on weight anywhere other than the bump, from behind I look exactly the same, but my chest has increased by 6 inches and the bump is mahoosive. Everyone comments on it
I have spoken to my MW about it, but she says Im measuring perfect for dates, although I know that measurinG a bump is not an exact science. She said she would refer me for a scan if i measured 2cm or more out either way.
So I dont know what to do, am terrified that this baby is going to be 10lbs and that my nether regions will never be the same again, and that I wont be able to get the baby out!
I cant afford/justify another private scan (we had 3 at start of pregnancy) as its £120. My only other option is to beg sonographer at hospital to squeeze me in for a scan (I am staff) but even thats a long shot.
Any advice or comforting stories would be good please
