Yup! Im just over 8 weeks and i reckon i look about 4 months 🙄 i was a size 8/10 before and now my size 10 work trousers are too tight (dont even dare try my 8s!) And im living in my nice stretchy jeans. Already ordered mat shirts and bras, trousers next apparently 😵

BDB18 · 06/05/2020 16:08

Oh really! Good so it's not just me feeling huge!
Is this your second pregnancy too? Do you look bigger then my pic? X

Its my 4th, and i would say im bigger lol i feel massive 😂 i know its mostly bloating but i did wonder today if i couldve got my dates completely wrong! Really do think i look 4 months gone 😂

BDB18 · 06/05/2020 16:28

Oh wow!!! Congratulations 😌

Haha good I thought it was just me!!!

I started to wonder if it was more than one - I'm a twin & my mum was a twin!

But if other ladies are the same as me or even bigger then it's reassuring there's just the one 😂 x

Are you a non identical twin, they are hereditary on the female line ? How exciting

BDB18 · 06/05/2020 16:46

Hi thanks for your reply, yes me & my twin are non identical - they run on my mothers side 😌😌 I did wonder if I was big for 8 weeks but it seems quite normal x

@BDB18 my scan is in a few weeks, ill let you know if theres more than one 😂 my sister is currently expecting twins....

I was just coming on to see if there was a post about this! I’m 10+4 with my second (although 5th pregnancy due to miscarriages) and I’ve got a very obvious bump. Kind of glad we are on lockdown as it’s difficult to hide the growing bump! My partner is petrified it’s twins but no history so think it’s just second time round your body just shows sooner.

Colouringinbook · 06/05/2020 18:10

I look huge! I hoping people just think I've put on weight due to lockdown so I've started making up stories about drinking every day to get through the stress!

Bumsmet · 06/05/2020 18:14

Congratulations!

At 8 weeks with my second I had a few people ask of I was pregnant Shock

CleverQuacks · 06/05/2020 18:17

I am 22 weeks with my fourth and the size of a house! But this happened with my last pregnancy. I got big very quickly and then didn’t grow much for the last 2 months. Actually ended up with a quite small baby (5lb) so I don’t know why I had such a big bump!

NamechangeObvis · 06/05/2020 18:17

I had this with my second - it was bloat and largely disappeared after week ten, the bump then followed a regular growth pattern!

BDB18 · 06/05/2020 18:26

Thanks for all of your replies! It's great to know I'm not on my own with the big bloat!!!

Haha love the made up story about the drinking in lockdown 😂😂

Hope all your pregnancies go well & congrats!

I am overweight anyway but feel so bloated and my waist much thicker. I am 12 weeks tomorrow. I feel so aware of that region when I am walking about. Really strange sensation. Technically my 3rd pregnancy though my second was an mmc at 12 weeks. I do feel way bigger than last times. Hard to tell under all my normal padding though 🙈

SleepingStandingUp · 06/05/2020 21:44

Twins...

BDB18 · 07/05/2020 06:50

@Sheera1 thanks for your reply!! So sorry to here about your mcr but congratulations on this baby!!! So exciting. It's a weird sensation isn't it, I feel super sensitive aswell like even laying on my belly for a second! I didn't start showing until about 14 weeks with my little girl so was just so surprised I feel this big already. I know it's bloat but it never changes - I wake in the morning the same size! I have sickness every morning aswell so haven't been eating my usual amount of food! Wishing you all the best with this pregnancy! x

BDB18 · 07/05/2020 06:50

@SleepingStandingUp do you think so? X

OP posts:
BDB18 · 07/05/2020 06:52

@NamechangeObvis thanks for your reply! Nice to know it's not just me! Haha did you look the same size from about 6 weeks onward? It never changes even in the morning I thought it would but I've stayed the same size if not got a little bigger! X

OP posts:
BDB18 · 07/05/2020 06:53

@Morganlove so sorry to hear about your miscarriages....
CONGRATULATIONS on this baby 👶💕
Oh really 😂 I would love to see if a pic of yours! Haha it's a scary feeling thinking there might be two! Haha but sweet at the same time. When's your scan? X

OP posts:
BDB18 · 07/05/2020 06:55

@Bumsmet congratulations too! Oh really 😂😂😂 maybe the second babies like to make an appearance super early! X

SleepingStandingUp · 07/05/2020 14:12

I was teasing but you never know. God luck either way

Em39ma · 07/05/2020 16:43

I was like that with my first. Had a huge off the scale bump by the end.
Got my BPF this morning so hate to think how big I will get this time.

BDB18 · 07/05/2020 20:02

@SleepingStandingUp haha I will let you all know either way! Thank you
