This is my third pregnancy. I was slightly heavier pre pregnancy this time than I was with my last 2, but not by too much. I haven't even been for my first scan, and pretty sure I'm only about 11 weeks, but I'm massive already. I have been eating a lot, but I've been really sick, so a lot was also coming back up, so why do I look about 6 months pregnant?! Has this happened to anyone else?

I feel like this, this time round. People keep assuring me I'm not but I'm much bigger than I was with my first. I put weight on pretty much straight away. I'm 24 weeks so my bump is firm and big at the top but I also feel like my stomach is soft and fatty at the bottom if that makes sense. I'm not enjoying being pregnant like I was with my first!

I was enormous with both pregnancies. Grew out of all my maternity clothes at 6 months. Do you carry a lot of fluid round the baby?

That exactly what mine is like, but I'm only 1, matmybe 12 weeks but I have a big bump. I know it's not baby, but at this point with my last 2, you couldn't even tell I was pregnant!

I'm not sure, no one has ever told me anything like that before. My last ds was 10 pounds, but I have a pic of me at about 5 and a half months pregnant and there's not much there at all.

I just dread to think what size I'm going to be at full term.

My tummy muscles were knackered My clothes stopped fitting almost immediately!!

Apparently you show sooner with each subsequent pregnancy

BeMorePacific · 15/07/2020 21:39

Yep, I am 24 weeks and look like I’m ready to give birth.
But enjoying and embracing my bump! I bet you look amazing cx

Gerdticker · 15/07/2020 23:07

Yeah 25 weeks over here and I look the same as 35 weeks last time Grin

On the plus side I’m having a slightly easier and more relaxed pregnancy and have ordered my family and friends not to mention what I look like, positive or negative, ever!!

I'm currently 16 weeks into my second pregnancy I started showing at 10/11 weeks this time which I thought was ridiculous until I went for my 12 week scan (ended up only being 10+6) and found out I was having twins 😳 I feel really big now and I dread how much bigger I will get, I struggled with back pain carrying one last time so I'm not enjoy this. I'm also a lot more worried about things not feeling right or just going wrong. I'm wondering if that's cause I'm noticing things I didn't last time maybe.. who knows. Good luck I'm sure you look just fine though xx

This is what I'm a bit worried about. We don't even really have room for a third, never mind a fourth aswell. This one wasn't planned, so having twins would be a real struggle.
If it makes you feel any better (it probably won't 😂) my brother in-laws twins combined were still lighter than my last baby. They were born a month before my DS.

I was really bloated and had water retention in the early stages of my third pregnancy, but my the time I had a pronounced bump, I'd sort of 'slimmed down' elsewhere.

RandomMess · 16/07/2020 10:29

My 2nd was a huge baby and honestly with 3 & 4 it was just that my tummy muscles were knackered.

Sheera1 · 16/07/2020 11:39

@catsboymama mine is exactly like yours. Really high and very firm and my lovely wobbly belly hanging below. I am 22 weeks. I think the baby is below my belly button still so the firm but must be organs/intestines? When people pat it I feel like saying that was my organs you just patted 😂.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 16/07/2020 13:38

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've got my scan tomorrow so hoping they are going to tell me I'm further along than I though 😂, unlikely though.
Good luck to everyone.

@Sheera1 GrinGrin I'm just looking forward to not being pregnant but dread what sort of state I might be left in!! Grin

Lobster21 · 18/07/2020 23:11

24 weeks here and feeling enormous! My bump is very big and I seem to be retaining fluid.... can hear and feel it sloshing around at times and feel soooooo bloated. Any way to ease that at all?!
