Any non-FTM feel like baby and bump are so much bigger this time around?

32w and I swear I look/feel as big as I was 39/39w with DD1! I always knew bumps pop out earlier the next time around but are they actually bigger over all? if so I can't imagine how much bigger I can get in 8 weeks!

Maybe baby boys are just bigger? DD1 was born 9/10th centile. So far this one is estimated 12th centile but head and abdomen are on 40/50th.

Me I'm now 39weeks with baby number 4 and he feels huge compared to my other by scans he is going to be about a pound bigger but even his movements hurt me and the other didnt

Same for me feels not just bigger weight-wise but also lengthwise - it's all arms and legs jabbing everywhere! Maybe the uterus is bigger or more stretched out lol

Second pregnancy (28weeks) and also been thinking that I'm huge and much bigger than last time around. But then again they measure fundal height and surely if the bump was that much bigger it would show up as fundal height not in line with weeks...?

I think it's because they have so much more room in there and don't engage til labour so definitely always sitting higher
