So much bigger second time round!

Can anyone reassure me that I'm not growing a monster baby? I feel so much bigger this time round and looking at photos from last time look much bigger too. I'm 30 weeks now but I think I look similar to when I was 35 weeks last time. My last baby was nearly 9lbs so I'm petrified of a much bigger one!!

Also I saw movement a lot earlier and am now getting crazy movements that are so obvious to see. Could it possibly be because my muscles are rubbish after being pregnant before?? I'm really hoping this is the reason! Shock

Bump (massive one)

I'm definitely bigger too! Some of my maternity clothes from last time are not fitting anywhere near as well this time round. It doesn't necessarily mean a bigger baby though.
I think the muscle thing is true, everything can just expand so much easier!

I swear the second time I got pregnant, I reached about 4 months and my stomach muscles said 'Ah yes, we remember what happens here. Give up now, lads, it's not worth trying.' And don't even ask about the third time...

I'm on my fourth and although I have put o. The least amount of weight with this one my bump is by far the biggest. At 34 weeks it measured 43cms!! Blush
I'm 38 weeks now and it has slowed down a bit and bump is slightly smaller now the baby has engaged.
I just think my stomach muscles have given up :)

Oh and my last baby was 10lb 8 so expecting to give birth to a toddler this time Grin

Same here, I'm 20wks preggy with 5th baby n look more 6/7mths! Think I'm also growing another monster, other 4kids were 9pounders and 10lb 6oz. May have to needs growth scans later on and GD tests. It's also to do with the tummy muscles being more loose I think.

Oh dear I fear this will be me too. 12 weeks with DC2 and I feel like a fat lump already. I didn't gain very much weight last time but feel like I've gained quite a bit already this time. DC1 was 9lb2, I'm scared........Shock
