I know it's silly, my DH already reassured me (not that it's necessary as I'm just being silly I know) and before I'm told to stop being ungrateful, this has nothing to do with not being grateful cause I truly am.

I'm 16 weeks pregnant with DC2 today (yay!) but I feel massive! bending over is uncomfortable, putting on ny trousers is becoming a mission. Don't even get me started on sleeping. I have SPD so I know the pelvic pain is due to that (thank God for physio) but I can't help but feel that my bump is too big for 16 weeks. I feel humongous! I like being pregnant and I've been taking bump pictures weekly but this morning, after my DH took the bump picture I felt I looked huge!

Anyone else?

I'll get over myself once I've sent this haha

I know how you feel. I'm 18 weeks and feel massive! I think it's also the thought that we're not even half way and so I feel guilty for moaning.
But it's a big change - I have found blaming DP helps. Poor thing can't win - when he tries to make feel better by saying I'm not fat I'm pregnant he then has to take at least half the responsibility!
Hope all goes well!

With dd2 i got big pretty quick too. I noticed it at 14 wks as i had to get bigger trousers. I felt huuuuge lol

I'm sure you both look beautiful, but please spare a thought for the twin mummies out there Wink I am 31+3 with twins and have a 51" waste already! I don't know what bending over or sleep is any more. Still loving it though Smile

Haha... I can beat all of you. Today I broke a chair.

OK, it didn't collapse under my weight, but the cross bar underneath came off, and I'm sure it was due to my huge bulk.

I've not measured my waist but think I will, if I can find a tape measure long enough!

My first pregnancy i got to 47" around at about 36 weeks so i can only imagine how massive you are Franykins (although i only had 1 in there).

I also took a weekly photo last time of my bump and have been doing the same this pregnancy and having compared them, this time bump and me is about the same as 4 weeks further on. I am 23+2 and have had a few comments this weeks that my bump seems to have really come out recently.
