I'm only 26 weeks!!! I keep thinking how much more can it grow! I'm over the moon and not complaining at all, I'm just wondering if others think it's giant? I'm finding people are staring at the bump already, again I'm not complaining I just thought it might be this size in about 6 weeks!!!

Could I see some 26 week bumps please? I'm obviously a little chunky too but even so.......! My back is REALLY curving already and very painful

Its perfectly normal size for 26 weeks thus was mine at 26 weeks which seems bigger than your self so dint worry

Everyone is different, I was only 6 weeks! with DC2, and when asked by another mum to be, she thought I meant I had 6 weeks to go because I was so big.

Put your feet up and get plenty of rest while you can.

Yes OP id say that’s quite a big bump- nothing wrong with that- out of interest a boy ?

I’m 25 weeks and mine is a bigger than yours. I’ve had two separate people this week comment ‘Not long left to go now’ and look completely shocked when I say I’m not due til June! 😭

I’m only 5ft0 aswell which might be a factor but I’ve never been this big before (it’s my 5th pregnancy)

Ah that's great lovely ladies thankyou! I thought everyone would say 'whoahhhhh' it's huge!

I don't know if it's boy or girl, were going for a suprise! I had3 losses before this and was put on blood thinners daily, steroids and progesterone and it's worked!!

It's such a lovely time now I'm not soooooo anxious, the first 3 months I was terrified of miscarrying

I think every woman is different and I've heard (could be rubbish!) that it depends how long your body is. I have a colleague who's got a proper prominent bump, she's only 17 weeks, and I'm 15 weeks and no one would know. But I've got a really long body so I guess the baby has room to stretch out inside! I was a bit panicked when my colleague said she's only 2w ahead of me, worried I should be expanding more by now... but I think there's just a huge range of normal!

I thought I was big at 26 weeks but now at 37 weeks I'm not that much bigger.... This pic was around 26 weeks
