Nearly 6 months with no. 2 and still playing 'pregnant or fat?'

[60sname]

It turns out I'm carrying small again (bump is measuring fine), which is a good thing if last time was anything to go by.

However, strangely I still want to be a bit bigger, even if it's just so it's clear that I am pregnant rather than fat...Thought I'd be past caring by number two Anyone relate?

Can totally relate! Didn't start looking preggerz till midway through month 7, if not later! If you looked at me I could've passed off as 'too much Christmas dinner'. Nice little bump now though! 36+3, woo!

Enjoy it! I didn't look properly upduffed with no 1 until well into month 7. Different this time completely. Am 23 weeks nearly and look like I did at 8 months last time. I'm huge and can't get out of a car/chair/bed. Can't get comfortable in bed except on my back which seems to be tantamount to child abuse. Miserable. Will be begging for induction at 37 weeks at this rate!

I was the same didn't get a bump for ages with the first and nearly the same with the second if say around 30 weeks. I brought baby into work when they were born and someone on another team said they didn't even know I was pregnant. Got that a fews times on my leaving day too. I put on 2 stone so they must have just thought I was fat.oh well

That does sound miserable Mybaby

35+4 currently and everyone is shocked when I say how far along I am - they say they would have guessed 4 or 5 months. They keep describing me as "neat" and "tidy", whatever the hell that means. It's my first though so guessing any subsequent pregnancies I'll be bigger. Not a particularly skinny person either usually - size 8-10 everything before pregnancy. Now in size 14-16 but that's more because I hate wearing clingy clothes as I just sweat through them. My trousers are the only thing that really won't fit as my hips are ridiculously wide.

I'm jealous! I've looked pregnant since 8 weeks! Currently 23+5 and massive. I was the same with DS. It's so bloody uncomfortable. I'm SO jealous of small-bumped people!

Big downside is even though I am exhausted at now at 8 months due to the combination of anaemia and still working full time, I never ever get offered a seat on the subway or bus and have to lean against the doors in between stops so I don't faint as the blood circulates to the bump and nowhere else. I think old people look at me and think how lazy I must be as I'm early twenties but inside I'm dying I feel so unfit.
