I didn't know I could be this huge!
It's just come over me in the past few days. Like baby has doubled in size. I was 'neat' until now.
My belly has ballooned. I've no ankles. Veins are becoming visible. I've even started to waddle.
All this time I've been waiting to 'bloom'.

I'm 33 weeks and huge already. Just read that baby gains a third to a half of their weight in the next 7 weeks which absolutely terrifies me. I don't think its possible to become any more of a heifer.

I have a photo of myself at 39 weeks and I was a bus. My DP is African and he said that where he's from women are considered the most beautiful when they are about to give birth, because they're making life :)

It was bollocks when he said it to me too, but it got me through it!

Haha that's pretty sweet!

The great news is that you will get thinner, very soon!!

Pleased you enjoyed it, he's quite a charmer. But maybe he was just afraid I would sit on him. However MistyB is so right, I lost 20lbs in the 2 days after I had DS!

My friend kept quoting that Peter Kay sketch at me "fourteen stone in a day".

36 weeks was actually when I felt the most rubbish, it got a bit better again, was at my yoga class at 39+2! So there's still hope for a bit of a bloom :)

I have to say I love my changing shape! For the first time in years I am wearing fitted clothes and not breathing in. When I look in the mirror I think I look all womanly except for the double chin and dark eye circles

Seemingly though I am alone in this view as in the last week I have been called massive, hefty and huge Smile

36+1 and have had enough. Nothing fits me I don't even now what my feet look like anymore lol
