Second pregnancy, feeling huge at 21 weeks.

[jaggythistle]

I just really don't remember being this big this early last time!

I know it's normal to 'show' a bit earlier the second time and I am pretty sure my abdominal muscles are indeed rubbish, as I haven't done much proper exercise since DS was born 2 years ago. :)

I think I am just paranoid as I am also extremely hungry and feel like I eat so much. I am worried I am eating my way to a giant baby and/or giant me!

It does actually look and feel like a bump, not like it's entirely made out of snacks and I can feel baby jumping about in there quite a lot.

Am I the only one who is worried about becoming a whale by the time DC2 is due next April....

Hello!! Another whale here too! I'm 23 weeks with 2nd baby.
I have a photo of me at 21 weeks last time on the beach in a bikini, size 8 and you wouldn't know I pregnant ( though I remember being desperate for a bump!).

This time very pregnant looking, straight into maternity clothes, had to buy new ones as last time's too small. God knows how big i'll be in 17 weeks time!!!

DC2 is 8 weeks old, so this feeling is not that long ago. Felt huge from 20 something weeks and was in mat clothes at about 10 weeks (24 weeks with DC1)! But actually, I didn't get that big in the end.

Wait till you get to 30 weeks, I am going to need scaffolding soon and I look like I did near full term with DD1 and she was 8lbs. How this one is going to fit by then I don't know

Another whale here! 32 weeks and measuring 4 weeks ahead of dates according to 32 week scan and consultant's tape measure!

All of my friends were much bigger 2nd time round so trying not to worry about enormous baby!

hello, thanks all. :)

not due to get measured till 24 week appointment so will be interesting to see. :)

i was absolutely huge by about 7 months last time, i have a photo of me side on which i like to amuse people with.

hoping I've just had an early growth spurt then

hope you have a nice rest of your pregnancy ladies!

I am aump our first time mummy and there is no escaping the sheer size of the bump our DS has created. I have manged to gain 1st 5lbs in 21 weeks and I am sure Greenpeace are wanting to rescue the whale

Me too. I was barely in maternity clothes at this stage with dd, but was in mat jeans by 13 wks this time. Now at 21 weeks I am huge, a full, proper, over hanging baby bump, I wasn't this big till 30+ wks last time. However I suspect it is just coming on quicker as against going to carry on at this rate. I think I look bigger cause baby is lying breech at the mo, so head is IO high and sticking out more.

Oh my god I'm feeling whale like ! I'm 12 weeks and look massive : ( third bubba btw
