I keep being told how big my bump is for 34+5 (ish). MN, am I enormous? Is this a massive bump or is everyone lying to me? Grin I love my bump so will in no way take offence if you say 'yes you're a whale!!' I am just slightly concerned that I could have over 7 weeks left and am not sure what state this pregnancy is going to leave my already over stretched body in...

Don't usually post things like this but following from another thread, wondered what the consensus was.

Slightly miffed about the enormous stretch marks but hey ho...

I know IABU to even compare myself to others but I'm feeling rather rotund!

It is a fab bump! Embrace and love it! IME everyone grows at different rates. Your LO might have grown loads already so you may not get much bigger. I was very big with mine (9.5lb'er) but I had friends that didn't get big until the last few fees and babies equal sizes.

Your bump is lovely OP. Here is mine at 35 weeks with DS. I'm currently 8 weeks with my second and looking forward to my bump appearing Smile

Perfect, beautiful bump! I miss mine Smile I was the size of a house all over! Take it as easy as you can over the next few weeks - you may not get a great deal bigger now, and here's wishing you a happy birth.

Yes can I agree with the pp who said to watch out for diastasis recti. I had a bump like yours and 6 months later am still dealing with backache, physio, weak pelvic floor... can't walk far or lift anything! So do keep am eye out! Best of luck.

My third bump was just like that. I am scheduled for diastasis recti surgery in a month’s time. Get checked out after birth!

Yes I also had diastasis recti after DS2 with my large front bump.
