Bump Size

[sarahtheredhead]

Hi all!

I'm 14+6 and my belly has grown significantly. At first I thought it was because my eating had gotten out of control slightly, but I have weighed myself and I've lost 1lbs since my first midwife appointment! (Not a lot but I thought I had at least gained half a stone!)

I'm on the taller end of 5'9 and was an average size 12/14 pre-pregnancy, and thought I wouldn't get a little bump until 20 weeks plus.

Anyone else shown so soon?!

I had quite a bit of bloat early on, ended up popping early and was huge all the way through.
My eating didn't increase very much at all, but I had a huge bump and by the end I was wearing men's pyjama bottoms around the house.

I had others ask me if I was pregnant at 10 weeks last time, this time when I left work (early at 31 weeks, thanks coronavirus) some people still didn’t notice I was pregnant! I had a 6lb13oz baby last time (born 39+6) and somehow despite a far smaller bump my growth scan suggests a bigger baby this time, although the growth scans were terribly inaccurate last time and 3 1/2 weeks before I gave birth they estimated baby was 6lb8oz already and to prepare for a well over 8lber
