Worried as my bump is huge and i'm only 20 weks

[dribbleface]

20 weeks with my second, i did carry big with DS although he was only 6 1b 13oz! Put on 3 stone in total (was 8 stone to start, was 9 stone to start this time) This time i'm huge, seriously big. I have put on a stone which is average to last time but i look heavily pregnant. Have scan on monday but i'm worrying myself sick that something is wrong.

Someone tell me to get a grip and stop panicking. Mum mum was small framed to start with (8 stone) and put on 4 stone with my brother and I so maybe its just the way we carry. I'm not over eating in my opinion.

Need some reassurance!

I know how you feel. I am 29 weeks with my second and feel huge in comparisson to my first pregnancy (also my breasts have gone much much bigger this time). Apparently, it is normal to be much bigger with number two and also to weigh a bit more when conceiving. Having said that I've now put on almost as much as I had in my entire pregnancy last time, so time to cut back on the unneccessary 'extras'. I am not going to diet (at all) - just cut out the biscuits for the remaining 11 weeks. I had a scan at 28 weeks and asked them for my baby's centile - it was on the 28th centile so I have no excuse re the size of the baby!

Thank you that makes me feel better

I'm massive too - 16 weeks with my 3rd. People have guessed and asked me since I was only 6 weeks, and I've had constant "are you sure there's not 2 in there?" - all the time! It baffles me that people feel it's ok to point out how large you are!

I was bigger with second and obviously much bigger this time. My sister is 34 weeks with her 1st and we look about the same. Nothing to worry about, just annoying (although at least I now look properly pregnant instead of fat!). Trust you rmidwife and the medical professionals - if there were an issue they'd have flagged it.

Thank you Lucamom, yes i've had you sure there isn't 2 in there too! I showed early and my boss asked me outright at 6 weeks (luckily we get on well)

I've got my 12 week scan on Monday, when I will be exactly 12 weeks, and unlike last time where I'd already had 2 scans by this point, Monday will be our first glimpse of the LO. However I am HUGE, even by second baby standards. I look the same now as I did at around 5 months with DD, and it's definately all bump, not cake! (I've lost a stone since conceiving this one cos I've been so sick). Anyway, all will be revealed on Monday, but I've convinced myself I'm having a litter....
