Scared of big bump

I am really worried about the size of my bump. I’m 18 weeks and I look mahoosive, more like I’m 24 weeks.
I’m petite, 5’2 so I don’t carry it well and I look really round. This is my second pregnancy, with my DD (2) I didn’t show until after 20 weeks and was very small throughout. DD weighed 5 pounds,5oz.

Please tell me the weight gain and bump size slow down.

I'm in unchartered territory too - I recall going into maternity wear about 20 weeks with DD now I'm pregnant with twins and been in maternity wear since 8 weeks - I'd say my bump is as big as I was when I was about 25 weeks plus and I'm only just 16 weeks - getting nervous about how big I'm actually going to get 🤣

@ivfbeenbusy
Congratulations on your twins! It will explain the size difference.

I'm 22 weeks with my second and definitely bigger and rounder earlier. There's really not much can be done!

This is my situation too! I look like a whale. Last time I just looked a bit podgey at 21 weeks. Had a few comments this weekend about how “enormous” I am. I’m hoping the baby is vast, otherwise I’m going to be left with a lot of fat!!!
