Only five months and I am HUGE. It is only going to get bigger isn't it.

[EdMcDunnough]

I don't know if I can take any more. I still feel sick on and off though is much better since about 20 weeks. (Thank GOD)

But now it is very hard to walk far, my pelvis is going in two different directions, I get BH every time I do anything remotely like exercise, I am an ambling wreck in constant minor achy type pain (moan moan) and I look enormous.

I just mowed HALF the lawn. I ask you. And had to sit down for like, three hours. I'm rubbish

How on earth do you keep going, and survive when you are even bigger than this?? It is my third so I ought to know, but tbh I was this size at about 8 months with the others. It is not normal!!!

Oh guys [big group hug]

I think we all need a chair and a nice cup of tea

I hope we all make it through the last bit without thing getting any worse. I seem to remember a sort of plateau around 34-36 weeks each time, where I thought 'I CANNOT go on' and then things stayed pretty much the same. Maybe that will happen for a few of us!

I was told today that I am (get this) 'like a stick, with a bump on the front' which is patently NOT the case (have put on nearly 2 stone I think!!! at 23 weeks!) BUT it shows that my skirtage is doing wonders in disguising my proportions

I am with you all on the stretchmark fear and the breathlessness. Also if I try and run (emergencies only) I tend to leak.

Oh dear.

Dinosaurs, I think I envy you!!! Did you have a bump with the other children, by this stage? It must feel strange not to feel so pregnant this time.

I was in far more pain with DS2 late in pregnancy than DS1 (although DS1 arrived early). But DS2 was engaged from early on and I dilated early too, so was peeing every 2 seconds and had bad uncomfortable pelvic pain for weeks! Don't miss it at all :) Hopefully things will level out for you... but full term baby is still worth it, and bigger is definitely advantageous after birth too!

I am 19 weeks with my first and an absolute whopper! am also slim build so I guess it's even more of a comedy bump!

If one more person says "are you sure it's not twins?" I will not be responsible for my actions...

So after all the comments about how huge I was, I saw the midwife yesterday who measured my bump and it is exactly average for 27.5 weeks which is what I am. Oh and I've only put on 6 kg or just under a stone.

So not sure why I'm getting so many comments about my size - maybe it's because I'm petite so an average size bump looks bigger on me? Anyway I will now happily ignore them all

Oh and I didn't even get offered a seat on the tube this morning, despite apparently being so huge seems like it's an incredible disappearing reappearing bump...
