6 weeks and feeling big!

[BDB18]

Hi Ladies,

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with my second and just full huge. I'm a size 10 normally. Since about 4.5 weeks pregnant my belly just feels so round and hard like I have a bump already! It doesn't chance all day and when I wake up in the morning it's exactly the same. I'm eating no more in fact probably less as I've been feeling so nauseas.

The reason I'm questioning this is because I'm a twin, my mum was a twin & i am wondering could this be???

Has anyone else had this???

I'm feeling big too around the stomach, but unsure if its bloating from progesterone (IVF pregnancy). Mine is soft though, so likely just fat! I had 2 embryos put in, so might be twins, but wont know till scan next week at 7 weeks. Even if it was, they would only be as big as a blue berry anyways. Best of luck.

It's most likely bloating. At 6 weeks your baby is the size of a pea, I don't think even 2 babies would cause a bump at 6 weeks?

Thanks ladies. I wish I could attach a pic but it won't let me....

My second baby was twins. With my first I was in normal clothes until 5m, with dts I need maternity jeans before my 12w scan. So... it could be but it's not likely unless you are non identical which are the ones in families as I'm sure you already know x

Aw congratulations! How are are you twins now?? I am non identical & same with my mum.... I guess we will have to wait & see. Did you have any other symptoms before your 12 week scan? X

Just to update this thread ( my names changed slightly )) but I'm the OP that's tatted this thread. That bump was because it was TWINS found out yesterday at 13 + 3 days! So exciting. Hope all you ladies are doing well! X

Sorry for the really bad spelling!

Tatted ( started ) haha x

Aw that’s so lovely!! Congratulations!

@MinesALatte - thank you 😊 now to just let it all sink in haha x

Wow Congrats!!!!
What were your symptoms?
My partner is a twin and i have twins from both my mum and dads side of the family.

Awwww congrats!!! Lovely to see the twin scan picture 😍

Oh how exciting OP. Congratulations!

@xxlannixx thank you 😘
My symptoms have been fairly mild actually I've been really lucky. I've had sickness in the mornings ( like only actually sick once ) it wasn't every day but it stopped by 11 weeks. I was also napping during the day with my 2 year old in the first few weeks. I know feel fine 🤞🤷🏻‍♀️ my biggest give away was my hunch I was googling twin pregnancy as soon as I found out and just imagine two not one! 😍 also my growing belly from as early as 5-6 weeks. This is my bump now at 13 weeks.....
Oh how lovely there's so many twins in your family! Are you pregnant now and wondering if yours is twins? Xx

@xxlannixx excuse the poor grammar & spelling 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I need to double check before posting! Haha x

@Sunsage - thank you 😘 aw it's so lovely I can't stop looking at it. I feel so blessed 😍 and lucky! X

@sel2223 - thank you 😊 😘 x

Aww wow @BBB18 you have such a lovely bump!

This is my second pregnancy im 5 weeks, already showing... quite clearly too but i know its mainly bloat. I am exhausted to a new level... 3 naps a day and sleep like a baby at night still which i didnt get with my first who was a singletin birth. No sickness but didnt have sickness at all with the first. I get what you mean about the hunch, i have this gut feeling im going to go to the scan and see two heartbeats.

@xxlannixx awww thank you! 😘 a lot of ladies said to me it's bloat but you know your body. Mine didn't change I woke up with my bump. Don't get me wrong it was slightly larger at the end of the day from all the food I was nibbling my way through during the day! Haha
Awww can you send a picture of your bump now I have one around that time I can show you 😍
I hope you get the outcome you wish for! You have a much higher chance! X

@xxlannixx also sleeping a lot and the sickness was exactly what I had at the same stage as you! X

@xxlannixx 5 week little bump 💕

This is me now and im inly 4+4
I have already had 2 naps today, cried about 6 times over nothing and started being sick this morning.
I have a private scan booked in at the start of july when i will be 8+4.
You bump at 5 weeks looks similar to mine dont you think?

@xxlannixx

I’m so pleased your having an early scan, at-least you don’t have to wait so long to find out.
Do you have the same bump when you wake up?? It does look so similar how exciting! You look about the same size as me too!!! You do sound like your symptoms are really exaggerated too. Another thing my boobs have been so sore like can’t even have the shower water on them!! X

@BBB18 i opted for the early scan so i can find out if im carrying a singleton or twins. Yeah that picture was taken in the morning, i get a little bigger through the day. I definitely have more symptoms than with my first. Ohh really, that sounds very sore! Mine arnt quite that bad but have grown alot!! Did you have an early scan?

@xxlannixx - yes I bet, you so sound like me! 😂 if you have the hunch think why? Your probably right I really hope you are if that's the outcome you would like! I couldn't shake the thought I was googling twin everything symptoms, belly pics! Mainly because the bump. That is an impressive bump and your slim! Yeah that's what I went by. I had literally no symptoms with my first. This time the first few weeks had me questioning what was growing inside me 😂 please tell me when you've had your scan I would love to know! Don't leave me hanging haha. See mine are massive too! Probably gone up a whole cup size if not more. I'm a DD normally so you can only imagine lol xx

@xxlannixx I didn't have an early scan. None were available to me due to corona - was the longest wait ever. I got my dates wrong too. I thought I was 12 and I was 13 + 3 x
